Consumer co-design as a framework for enhancing a novel self-guided online program to reduce overconsumption
Breaking Up with Belongings (BB) is the world’s first evidence-based, self-directed online program designed to improve emotion regulation and reduce overconsumption. Although initial pilot testing resulted in promising outcomes, user responses suggested that the program could be more engaging, clearer, and relevant to consumers. The objective of this study was to examine whether co-design methodology could be used to meaningfully refine a self-gu…

Seventy first-year psychology students from Macquarie University wi…

A review of the phenomenology, aetiology and treatment of animal phobia and insights for biophobia
Biophobia refers to a fear of living things, which leads to alienation from nature. The literature examining the underlying mechanisms and treatment of biophobia is sparse. This review aims to increase the readers' understanding of biophobia by examining the more extensive literature on specific phobias, namely animal phobia, as it most closely resembles biophobia. Fear, anxiety and disgust play an important role in specific phobias. Their trigge…
Going it alone
OBJECTIVE: Perfectionism is linked to a variety of mental health conditions in university students. The Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model posits that perfectionistic individuals exhibit off-putting interpersonal behaviors (i.e., rejection sensitivity and hostility), which lead to social disconnection, and in turn contribute to psychological distress. Although several longitudinal studies have found that social disconnection mediates the li…
Treatment of Hoarding Disorder
Hoarding disorder (HD) is a chronic and debilitating psychological disorder with wide ranging negative effects on individuals, their families, and the community. In this chapter we review the current evidence for the use of pharmacological and psychological interventions in HD. Our review showed that cognitive-behavioral interventions are efficacious. However, many gaps and issues exist. In particular, research has not evaluated the efficacy of p…

Seventy university students (83.9% female; M age = 19) reporting mo…
