Grazing and food addiction
The Edinburgh Companion to British Colonial Periodicals
The Edinburgh Companion to British Colonial Periodicals showcases the latest research into British colonial newspapers, newsletters, magazines and journals by leading scholars in the field. Its thirty-five commissioned chapters analyse the fundamental role played by colonial periodicals in sustaining as well as contesting the economic, political and cultural hegemony of the British Empire from its inception to its fall. Considering both works pub…
Edinburgh Companion to British Colonial Periodicals
Social and emotional well-being intervention to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression among Ukrainian refugees resettled in Massachusetts
Background: Mental health problems are high among refugees due to their traumatic experiences of fleeing war and witnessing disasters and deaths due to violence and conflict. Refugees are exposed to various socio-cultural stressors during their migration journey before, during, and after arriving at the host country, which may increase their risk of mental health problems. Strength-based interventions may be beneficial to address their socio-cult…
African Literature and the CIA
During the period of decolonisation in Africa, the CIA covertly subsidised a number of African authors, editors and publishers as part of its anti-communist propaganda strategy. Managed by two front organisations, the Congress of Cultural Freedom and the Farfield Foundation, its Africa programme stretched across the continent. This Element unravels the hidden networks and associations underpinning African literary publishing in the 1960s; it eval…
The feasibility of a personality targeted intervention for addictive overeating
A Fond Farewell to Margaret Ryan
When I started working for Psychological Perspectives in 2003, I was struck by how Margaret simply made people’s writing better. Even authors who had published books and were “good” writers benefit
A Question of Power
This article examines Bessie Head’s turbulent relationships with her publishers and literary agents in London and New York, focusing on the publication of A Question of Power in 1973. It traces her business negotiations carried out from Serowe, in Botswana, and the difficulties she faced in getting the manuscript accepted before it was eventually taken on by Heinemann Educational, Davis-Poynter and Pantheon Books. Based on new archival records, t…
When do governments trade domestic reforms for external rewards? Explaining policy responses to the Millennium Challenge Corporation's eligibility standards
Journalistic reports and case study evidence suggest that governments have made policy and institutional reforms to achieve or maintain eligibility for assistance from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). However, the empirical scope of the “MCC Effect”—across countries, policy domains, and time—remains a subject of speculation and debate. There is also little rigorous evidence about the conditions under which the MCC eligibility standards…

Creating a Book Empire
Creating a Book Empire
The impact of the British publisher in Africa is a matter of some contention. Publishers’ memoirs, oral histories and company histories have tended to narrate their history in the continent as a cultural mission, vital to the education and enlightenment of Africa. 1 Competing interpretations have been voiced by a number of African publishers and postcolonial scholars, who criticise British publishers as agents of neocolonialism or cultural imperi…
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Relation to Addictive Behaviors
Introduction: Research has shown that those with ADHD have an increased risk for addiction disorders like alcoholism and substance abuse. What is less clear is the mechanism(s) whereby ADHD gives rise to increased engagement in addictive behaviors, and whether there are sex differences in the ADHD-addiction propensity. Both ADHD and addictions have also been associated with personality traits such as impulsivity, reward seeking, anxiousness, and …
The Book in Africa
This essay is about the ways in which successive Lozi thinkers turned the potentialities of the book to political work and appropriated them with a view to advancing specific understandings of Lozi identity. It will begin by placing the origins of Lozi historical literature in the context of the colonial encounter between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. The argument will be advanced that Litaba tsa Sechaba sa…

The Vision for OUP in Africa
Eric Parnwell, ‘Expert in Overseas Education’ at OUP, first visited Africa in 1927 with the mission to seek out new markets for OUP and to identify the new direction for the company on that continent. Parnwell's account of his ‘African tour’ is an illuminating document, which articulated his plan for a racially stratified publishing policy. His vision was for OUP to undertake mass publishing of schoolbooks for African children across the continen…
The History of Three Crowns
Rex Collings, an editor in OUP’s London business, discovered the plays of Wole Soyinka in July 1962. He set about trying to publish them, and attempted to persuade his manager that The Lion and the Jewel and A Dance of the Forests should be included in the Three Crowns series, an eclectic series of books about Africa that had recently been established by OUP. He described The Lion and the Jewel: As good English it should provide a prescribable te…
‘The Call to Duty’
The first manager of the Eastern Africa branch of OUP, Charles Richards, wrote in his memoirs of the sense of vocation that inspired him to go to work in Africa: the desire to help ‘those countries towards the development of literature through which the peoples of those countries could express themselves’. 1 Richards had worked in Nairobi initially as a Church Missionary Society bookseller and publisher from 1935 to 1948, and his rhetoric is heav…
Publishing Athol Fugard
This chapter is concerned with the creation of Athol Fugard’s plays not as performances or as texts, but as material objects: it explores how the social conditions of textual production and circulation have affected their interpretation. It charts the transformation of ‘Fugard’ into an increasingly valuable piece of literary property, on which different meanings have been inscribed. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. Thi…
Publishing anti-apartheid literature
This article addresses the creation of Athol Fugard’s plays not as performances or as texts, but as material objects, and examines how the meaning and value of his plays were constructed through the interventions of his publisher. The paper draws attention to the sharp distinction in the way that Fugard’s performances and published plays have been received, most acutely with respect to the plays Sizwe Bansi is Dead, The Island and Statements Afte…

Personality factors related to the prevalence of somatic symptoms and medical complaints in a healthy student population
Previous research in somatization has identified strong positive relationships between this variable, and both neuroticism, and depression. Many studies, however, are limited by a cross‐sectional approach, correlational analyses, and/or the restriction to clinical (psychiatric or medical) populations. The present investigation prospectively compared the relationships between neuroticism, depression, and somatic symptoms in a healthy student sampl…

Histories of Publishing under Apartheid
This history of Oxford University Press (OUP) in South Africa draws on archival records and oral testimonies. It first considers OUP's rationale and vision for its work in pre-war South Africa. This is followed by a discussion of the development of the branch's anti-apartheid general and academic lists alongside its educational list from the late 1940s to the 1960s, reflecting on the dilemmas and contradictions entailed in this dual policy. It th…

On the origins of the .05 level of statistical significance
Examination of the literature in statistics and probability that predates Fisher's Statistical Meth- ods for Research Workers indicates that although Fisher is responsible for the first formal statement of the .05 criterion for statistical significance, the concept goes back much further. The move toward conventional lev- els for the rejection of the hypothesis of chance dates from the turn of the century. Early statements about statistical signi…

Automated Psychological Testing
The Eysenck Personality Inventory, Endler's Multidimensional Anxiety Scales, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale were administered on two occasions separated by a period of two months to three groups of subjects. One group took the standard paper-and-pencil versions of the tests; the second group, the computerized versions; and the third group, a computerized version on one occasion …

A Study of Appearance Anxiety in Young Men
Appearance anxiety describes an apprehension about aspects of one's physical appearance and how others evaluate them. To date, research in this area has focused primarily on a female population. In light of recent evidence that men are becoming more concerned about matters of physical appearance, and are reporting a greater degree of negative body image than in previous generations, it was considered important to understand better the nature of t…

Obsessionality in Anorexia Nervosa
OBJECTIVE: Research has confirmed substantial links between OCD and AN. Not only are there psychopathological similarities between the two syndromes, but a marked neurochemical correspondence. Extensive exercising is a common feature of AN and also has relevance in its links with OCD. There is evidence from the exercise-induced weight-loss syndrome in animals that exercise and caloric restriction, in combination, tend to increase serotonergic act…

Generational Association Studies of Dopaminergic Genes in Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) Subjects
Although our sample size was limited, and linkage analysis is necessary, the results support the putative role of dopaminergic polymorphisms in RDS behaviors. This study shows the importance of a nonspecific RDS phenotype and informs an understanding of how evaluating single subset behaviors of RDS may lead to spurious results. Utilization of a nonspecific "reward" phenotype may be a paradigm shift in future association and linkage studies involv…
