The role of actual-ideal weight discrepancy in the relationships between perfectionism, self-esteem, self-compassion and eating pathology in adolescents with eating disorders
Understanding factors associated with adolescent eating disorders is important for improving treatment outcomes. Actual-ideal weight discrepancy refers to the discrepancy between actual weight and the ideal weight an individual wants to achieve. Actual-ideal weight discrepancy is associated with poorer treatment outcome in eating disorders. It is important to understand factors associated with weight discrepancy to identify targets for treatment …
Community workshops increase advance care planning knowledge, appointment of legal proxies and completion of end-of life written plans
Advance Care Planning involves having conversations, completing documents detailing individuals' end-of life treatment and care preferences, and appointing legal proxies who make health, lifestyle, or financial decisions. Although beneficial outcomes have been demonstrated, community rates of Advance Care Planning remain low. We developed a theoretically based workshop to increase knowledge and change behaviors in relation to Advance Care Plannin…

A pilot study of a new bereavement program for children
We assessed the acceptability and effectiveness of a new childhood bereavement service known as Lionheart Camp for Kids. Using a pre-post-follow-up design, data pertaining to 12 bereaved children (aged 5-12 years) and their primary caregivers were obtained. Results showed that caregivers reported decreases in children's peer relationship problems, improvements in parental consistency, and reductions in coercive parenting, and there was a trend to…
Do Parent Mental Illness and Family Living Arrangement Moderate the Effects of the Aussie Optimism Program on Depression and Anxiety in Children
Parent mental illness and family living arrangement are associated with depression and anxiety in children, and may influence the effects of programs that aim to prevent these disorders. This study investigated whether these family context factors moderated the intervention effects of the enhanced Aussie Optimism Positive Thinking Skills program on depression and anxiety in primary school children. The intervention was a universal, cognitive-beha…
Psychological effects of belonging to a Facebook weight management group in overweight and obese adults
This study was conducted to test whether the weight outcomes in an online social networking group were mediated by changes to psychological outcome measures in overweight and obese individuals, following a weight management programme delivered via Facebook. The data analysed in this study were collected during a three-armed, randomised, controlled clinical weight management trial conducted with overweight and obese adults over 24 weeks. Two inter…
Differences in meanings made according to prolonged grief symptomatology
This study investigated differences in specific meanings made following bereavement, according to participants' prolonged grief symptomatology. A survey of 580 bereaved adults (M age = 61.6 years, 70.7% female) showed 13 meanings predicted symptomatology, with the largest differences between the two lower symptomatology groups and the high symptomatology group; the latter was more likely to report no meaning. The results provide further support f…
Social support following bereavement
Social support is one of the strongest determinants of bereavement outcomes, yet little is understood about the community's recognition of grief and intentions to provide social support to grieving persons. A total of 476 adults responded to an online vignette and questionnaire measuring grief norms and supportive intentions. Respondent gender, age, and bereavement status all had some association with expectations of grief, intentions to support,…

Development of the Australian Dominant Drug Discourses Scale
There are a limited number of dominant discourses available to frame drug use within Australia. These dominant discourses play an important role in policy debate and development, and also drug use behaviour. We describe the development of a psychometric instrument that is hypothesised to measure the degree to which individuals internalise dominant drug discourses. Sixty items were developed to reflect six dominant discourses of drug use. A substa…

Psychometric Properties of the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale (LCBS) among Australians Seeking Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Treatment
Despite a paucity of studies evaluating the psychometric properties of the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale (LCBS), it continues to be widely used in behavioural research. The present study sought to redress this gap in the literature. The 17‐item LCBS was administered to 373 Australians attending Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment agencies in the northern metropolitan region of Perth. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted in order t…
Psychotherapy via videoconference
Introduction: People who live in rural and remote regions often have little, if any, access to specialized mental health services. One way of addressing this issue is by providing such services via videoconference. Hence this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of psychotherapy provided in-person to via videoconference. This study is, to the author's knowledge, the largest telepsychology adult project that has been conducted in Australia
The Industrial Resources of Ireland
Sir Robert Kane (1809–1890) was a noted Irish chemist, becoming a professor at the age of twenty-two. His work on compounds of ammonia were considered internationally important. His 1,200-page textbook, Elements of Chemistry (1841) was considered 'the best extant in the English language' and was widely used in England and America. The Industrial Resources of Ireland, published in 1844 and reissued in 1845, had originated in a series of lectures t…
The Development of the Universal Ethnic Identity Scale (Ueis) for use in an Australian context
The aim of the present research was to develop a measure that assessed the level of ethnic identification of adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds, as well as individuals' level of ethnic identification with a host culture following migration. In the first study, an ethnically diverse sample of 275 people (138 males and 137 females) responded to a range of new items, as well as items drawn from related scales. Factor analysis revealed three dime…
The prevention of depressive symptoms in rural Australian women
Two interventions aimed at preventing depressive symptoms in women living in Western Australian rural communities were evaluated against a no‐intervention control condition. The standard intervention was based upon traditional cognitive‐behaviour treatments for depression; the experimental intervention was based upon prevention strategies derived from the learned helplessness model of depression (e.g. Peterson, Maier, & Seligman, 1993 ). Seventy‐…
Gender Differences in Functional Status And Pain in a Medicare Population Undergoing Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: The major indication for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is pain and disability in the hip. Evidence from state and local studies suggests that women may be more disabled than men at the time of THA. Whether worse disability at the time to THA affects outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in functional status and pain in men and women at the time of THA and at 1 year in a nationally representative Medicare population. ME…
