title: Why Development NGOs in the North Work with the Poor in their Own Communities: Does Everyone Matter ?
Creators: name: Pickering-Saqqa, Susannah
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This research seeks to understand how, why and with what implications development NGOs based in the global ‘North’ (NDNGOs) establish and maintain domestic poverty programmes, working with poor communities in their own countries. 

This is an under-researched dimension of NDNGO work. There is considerable empirical work analysing the work of NDNGOs in the global ‘South’, particularly assessing their impact on poverty alleviation. However, research into their work with their domestic communities is scarce. There are also a number of critiques of NDNGOs, which highlight the need for them to re-think their future roles, but little research or empirical data to evaluate how they have responded to these challenges. This study situates itself in debates about the future role of NDNGOs, development ethics, theories of poverty and institutional practice, exploring the hypothesis that these issues may be the drivers of the domestic programmes. 

Using semi-structured interviews (UK and India), archive and corporate material from four case study NDNGOs (Oxfam GB, Islamic Relief UK, Save the Children, Denmark and Oxfam America), the study takes a perspectivist qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. It makes use of AtlasTi software for data coding, informed by Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, domains and doxa and Gaventa’s model of three- dimensional power. 

Findings highlight the utility of the initial hypothesis as a heuristic device for understanding domestic programmes. This has potential application for scholars and practitioners in the analysis of other NDNGO programmatic decisions. The study also indicates a disruption in the notion of what ‘development’ is, moving away from the binaries of ‘them and us’, ‘here and there’, ‘developed and developing’ into a development ethic that affirms that everyone matters, where ever they live. The research contributes to the literature examining the nature of development in an increasingly interdependent world in which geographical and disciplinary boundaries are increasingly blurred
title: Investigating the Utility of the WMS-IV with Novel Procedures as an Assessment Tool for Accelerated Long Term Forgetting in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Creators: name: Nikopaschos, Martha Faye
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Research suggests some individuals with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE)
experience an increased rate of forgetting for new information; currently defined
as ‘Accelerated Long-Term Forgetting’ or ALF (Butler & Zeman, 2008). This
novel construct goes undetected by standard neuropsychological measures and
only becomes apparent after longer testing delays. However, as yet there have
been no specific measures developed for the assessment of ALF.
Consequentially, it is often undetected in TLE and research (relying on various
novel or adapted measures) is yielding inconsistent findings.
The present study aimed to build upon the findings of a previous research project
(Crowley, 2014) by adapting an existing and widely used neuropsychological
measure (Wechsler Memory Scale - Fourth UK Edition [WMS-IVUK]; Wechsler,
2010) in an attempt to assess its utility at detecting ALF in TLE. 25 TLE
participants and 26 unaffected controls were administered selected WMS-IVUK
subtests with an additional one-week recall and recognition delay. Participants
also completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery of cognitive and
non-cognitive measures. Data was analysed at the group and individual level,
and the contribution of non-memory cognitive and non-cognitive variables was
considered.
When analysed at the group level, TLE participants displayed evidence of verbal
and visual ALF on selected WMS-IVUK subtests, even when the mediating role of
non-memory variables was considered. Individual analysis revealed a range of
memory profiles in the TLE group. Some participants displayed primary difficulty
in the encoding/retrieval of new information, assessed across standard delays. It
was unclear whether these individuals also experienced accelerated forgetting.
Other individuals displayed a memory profile consistent with current definitions of
ALF and performed worse than controls at the extended delay despite
performance being comparable at the standard delay. Evidence of ALF was
observed for all three WMS-IVUK subtests, on tasks of recall and recognition.
Findings suggest the utility of the WMS-IVUK at detecting ALF in TLE.

description: Co-created with frontline healthcare workers and the Rwanda Ministry of Health, E-Heza facilitates a high quality and efficient continuum of care between communities, facilities, and government in a way that minimizes burnout of HCWs, maximizes engagement in care, and increases the accuracy and timeliness of data reporting to the national government.
In response to Covid-19, TIP Global Health accelerated the design and development of E-Heza Data Solution’s Acute Illness Assessment & Management module for Community Health Workers (CHWs) in villages and Nurses at Health Centers in Rwanda. Unlike other digital tools designed only for Covid-19, E-Heza’s comprehensive design will allow for continued use by Community Health Workers and Health Centers well beyond the current Covid-19 pandemic.
title: The Experiences of High Intensity Therapists Delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Individuals with Learning Disabilities in IAPT Services
Creators: name: Marwood, Hayley
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Recent legislation has set the way for a new policy shift emphasising the need for increased access to mainstream services for people with learning disabilities. Services are now required to demonstrate how they are making ‘reasonable adjustments’ in order to facilitate equal access.
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapy programme (IAPT) is a government initiative aiming to increase access to psychological therapies to adults experiencing mental health problems. They have produced practice guidelines indicating how IAPT services should be flexible in responding to the needs of individuals with learning disabilities. IAPT offer interventions based predominately on cognitive behavioural models, and whilst there is a growing evidence-base for the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with people with learning disabilities, it is unclear how effective CBT is for this group when delivered within IAPT.
Ten high intensity therapists, who had delivered CBT to at least one person with learning disabilities in IAPT, took part in semi-structured interviews regarding their experiences. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.
Findings suggested that therapists felt uncertain about how to modify CBT for people with learning disabilities, and they identified a need for improved training opportunities and specialist supervision to support them in their roles. On a systemic level, it appeared that the rigidity of the IAPT model often provided a poor fit with people with learning disabilities. Consequently, therapists faced additional challenges when attempting to adapt CBT and make necessary reasonable adjustments for this service user population. Implications of the findings for future research, policy and practice are considered. A critical review of this study is provided in the final part of this thesis.

Coping with COVID-19--An arts-based approach to student wellbeing at home

Year: 2020

description: Nationwide lockdown has resulted in social restrictions, interruptions in traditional education service delivery, and lack of differentiated approaches to effectively address the widening inequity in learning outcomes. While the effects of the pandemic are indiscriminate, its effects are disproportionately felt in marginalized groups. Children enrolled in government schools across India represent one such group, and those in transition-years of school (Grades 9--12) and studying in government schools are even more vulnerable due to their predisposition to negative & adverse social determinants (likelihood of dropping-out, early-age employment, long-term unemployment, and higher risk of abuse at home).

Anticipating the inherent psychosocial distress due to lockdown and compounded by the abovementioned factors, we piloted an arts-based intervention as a short-term mitigation strategy to alleviate the acute psychosocial distress amongst students enrolled in government schools and in their transition-years. Using frugal technology such as Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), we delivered a series of messages articulated in the form of stories, conversations, activities, and simple messages to these students. Over the course of 30 days (1 month), we carried 30 different stories, conversations, and activities--all targeted at improving three dimensions of wellbeing in a child at home: (a) self-care; (b) parent-child interactions at home; (c) external interactions between child and broader ecosystem (peers, teachers, friends, siblings, etc.).

We collected feedback at the end of individual session, and at the end of 30 days (using qualitative insights and via quantitative measures to evaluate wellbeing). Results demonstrated a clear improvement in the short-term wellbeing of children.

Combination of our own experience and literature has helped us converge on a set of core principles through which arts impacts mental wellbeing: (a) arts provides an avenue for universal expression and communication; (b) multiple layers of meaning can be extracted from a single creative expression; and, (c) structured social-exchange during arts-engagement has the potential to normalize behavior, activate conscious coping, and forge invisible social support mechanisms.

An improved version of the program is currently ongoing and we hope to learn and adapt our program to influence the wellbeing of the remaining 85 million children that enter transition-school years in India.
title: Staff Experiences of Media Representations of Paediatric Palliative Care: Implications for Wellbeing and Career Longevity
Creators: name: Neal, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: study examined representations of paediatric palliative care (PPC) available in the UK media. Furthermore, the study explored PPC nurses’ experiences of these representations, with consideration of the impact of these on wellbeing and career longevity.
With research from the fields of media and cultural studies and medical sociology informing its theoretical basis, the study demonstrated how popularly held constructions of healthcare services and staff are influenced by media representations and come to shape the lived experiences of healthcare workers.
Furthermore, in drawing upon Social Representations Theory (Moscovici, 1988), the study proposed an explanation for how PPC is perceived and understood by the public. Moreover, the study offered a novel insight into the impact of media representations of PPC on nurses, an area which previously has not been explored in this way.
Utilising Critical Realist Discourse Analysis a review of representations of PPC available in the UK media was completed. Here, findings indicated PPC was often represented as controversial and hospice-based. Furthermore, media representations tended to position nurses in polarising ways (e.g. as “angels” or “baby-killers”). In addition, semi-structured interviews were used to explore nurses’ experiences of media representations with a focus on the impact of these on wellbeing and career longevity. Data from the interviews was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three superordinate themes were developed; ‘PPC: A Contentious Approach’, ‘The “Threat” of the Media’ and ‘Not the Whole Story: One-sided media representations’. In all themes nurses described the impact of media representations upon clinical practice. However, impact on wellbeing and career longevity were not identified.
Findings from the study are discussed in relation to existing literature and psychological theory, and consideration was given to the implications for clinical psychologists working in PPC and physical healthcare settings generally. Recommendations for future research are also given.

title: The Overrepresentation Of Women in 'Common' Psychiatric Diagnoses: Do Women's Magazines Play A Role In Marketing Psychiatric Explanations?
Creators: name: Phillips, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This study is concerned with the over-representation of women in common psychiatric diagnoses and the role played by the mass media in promoting medicalized explanations of distress in women. In order to investigate this, the current study examines the various constructions of distress used in the women’s magazine ‘Take a Break’. This magazine was chosen because of its popularity and because the readership reflects those women who are demographically most over-represented in common psychiatric diagnoses. In order to investigate the constructions of distress used in the magazine, the study draws on discursive psychology and critical discourse analysis to examine how particular constructions of distress are employed and to what effect. The key constructions identified in the data were ‘distress as a normative response’, ‘distress as a biomedical condition’ and ‘distress as a matter of personal responsibility’. The implications of each of these representations of distress are explicitly reflected upon with reference to the literature, and recommendations for clinical practice and further research are made in light of the findings.
title: The Interplay between Hedgehog Signalling and BMP Signalling in Regulating B cell Development
Creators: name: Neville, Martina
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Morphogens play a significant role in the modulation of cell fate and development and are expressed in all tissue at some point during development. Recent studies suggest that expression of two morphogens, Hedgehog (Hh) and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP), may influence immune cell development in the periphery which is consistent with the finding that Hh is expressed by splenic stromal cells. In addition, preliminary data obtained at UEL suggest that Hh signalling may provide a positive signal in early peripheral B cell development in terms of activation and survival but may then deliver a later negative immunoregulatory signal capable of dampening down the immune response. This may occur as a consequence of the ability of Hh signalling to upregulate expression of BMP. Although Hh and BMP signalling have both been shown to play a role in immune cell development independently, little is known regarding the interplay between the two morphogens and the role this may play in directing an immune response to antigen. In this study murine splenic B cells were cultured in the presence of a signal for B cell activation (anti-IgM and anti-CD40) together with recombinant Sonic Hedgehog protein (rShh) and a BMP inhibitor, Noggin. These experiments were designed in order to elucidate whether it is necessary for Hh signalling to upregulate the expression of BMP for an effective B cell response to take place. We observed that expression of both Hh and BMP is required for efficient activation and survival of B cells at 18 hours post stimulus whilst expression of BMP plays a more dominant role in the later stages of B cell development. Abrogation of BMP signalling led to a significant skewing in the development of certain B cell subsets. Further analysis revealed a potential role for BMP-2 in particular during splenic B cell development, expression of which was significantly upregulated in the presence of exogenous Hh. Overall, our findings suggest that there is indeed an interplay between Hh and BMP signalling in driving appropriate B cell development.

title: A Grounded Theory Approach to Greek Cypriots' Understanding OF Mental Health and Help Seeking Behaviours
Creators: name: Papahristopoulos, Panayiots
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This research thesis explored how second generation Greek Cypriots understand issues of mental health and emotional wellbeing and their help seeking behaviours in relation to their culture. Coming from a critical realist point of view, 12 semi structured interviews were carried out and analysed using a grounded theory (GT) approach. Findings are discussed in light of current literature on cultural issues in psychology in general and Greek Cypriots in particular. In general participants saw mental health in the context of individual attributes but also equally if not more so, attributable to life circumstances and family relationships.  Although compassionate towards people with mental health difficulties the majority saw themselves as resilient and able to cope and linked this to their upbringing. Four participants had had experience of therapy and all four experienced difficulties during the process relating to diversity issues.   Family remains central to participants’ understanding of self and in relation to their own wellbeing.  

The core category was that of outlook on life as it encompasses notions of self, family and a philosophical stance in life, which filters all experiences.  This outlook on life is an ever evolving concept with clear cultural origins through participants’ upbringing with an emphasis on getting on in life and appreciating what they have as opposed to that they don’t.

title: Live Work: The Impact of Direct Encounters in Statutory Child and Family Social Wor
Creators: name: Noyes, Charlotte
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: The aim of this research project was to examine the impact of direct work on
practitioners in the field of statutory child protection. The author’s premise was
that this work was anything but straightforward and that surprisingly, given the
intense scrutiny on Children’s Services following a child death, there was little
research into the day-to-day practice of front line staff.
The aim was to explore whether psychoanalytic theory could be useful in
understanding and making sense of the social work task. Data was collected
through observation and semi-structured interviews in one Local Authority
Child in Need team over a period of six months. The findings indicated that
practitioners experienced direct work with some individuals and families as
profoundly disturbing and that this affected them physiologically as well as
psychologically. These effects persisted over time and appeared very difficult
for the workers to process or articulate. This could be expressed through
embodied or non-verbal communication in the interview. Practitioners
appeared to be ‘inhabited’ by particular clients, suggesting phenomena such
as projective identification were in operation. The intensity and persistence of
the impact on the practitioners appears to be directly related to the quality,
nature and intensity of the psychic defences functioning for the particular
client. Significantly, the research indicated that when practitioners were
dealing with the negative and disturbing projections from the (adult) clients it
seemed from the data that the focus on the child would slip so that the child
appeared to recede from view.
Symptoms experienced by the practitioners were akin to trauma and research
and theory on primary and secondary trauma were considered. Other issues
raised included shame, which affects the clients, practitioners and the
organisation and the meaning and implications of this are explored. Links
between neuroscience and projective identification are addressed as well as

the role of the organisation, particularly as a container for these toxic and
disturbing encounters.

Creators: name: Robinson, Nina
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This research aimed to ascertain the experiences and impact of using a spiritual listening tool, A Little Box of Big Questions, and follow-up questions to allow opportunities for change and reflection over four sessions with four young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and moderate learning difficulties. 
The data were collected using semi-structured interviews guided by A Little Box of Big Questions with the young people, alongside a teacher focus group. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. Several factors were identified that elucidated the experiences of those participating in the sessions and mechanisms were identified that suggested how A Little Box of Big Questions had an impact. 
Overall, the findings suggest that the themes of relationships, education and feelings about themselves and others not only play a role in students’ lives as demonstrated in their experiences of sessions, but are areas in which the sessions had an impact. The mechanisms by which these areas were impacted are suggested to be through Researcher, Student and Tool factors. 
The implications for Educational Psychologists are a greater understanding of the use and impact of A Little Box of Big Questions with those with Special Educational Needs over several sessions, a greater understanding of what aspects of their lives young people with Special Educational Needs view as important and a role for using A Little Box of Big Questions as a tool to help young people elicit future aspirations and hopes, enable goal setting and motivate behaviour change.

title: Dissociative Identities in Childhood: An Exploration of the Relationship between Adopting these Identities and Painful States of mind in Three Young People. Are there Implication for Psychoanalytic Technique?
Creators: name: Russell, Jo
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Children who have experienced early relational trauma in the realms of neglect and abuse may go on to develop a range of dissociative states of being as a consequence or as a defence. Child psychotherapists are frequently referred children struggling with such a legacy, yet for historical reasons dissociation is notably absent from the psychoanalytic literature and not a formal part of our professional training. This thesis aims to illuminate how dissociative children may present in psychotherapy sessions and to assess whether there are indications that traditional psychoanalytic child psychotherapy technique may need adjusting if treatment is to be most effective. Current theory regarding the aetiology of dissociative pathology is presented including the significant contributions from attachment and neuroscience research, and the slender view offered by psychoanalytic theory is elucidated. Case histories of two of the three participant children are presented with specific reference to attachment and trauma. Process recording notes from the psychotherapy of all three dissociative children are subjected to thematic analysis to arrive at two sets of patient and therapist related themes which are then recursively discussed in fine detail to determine what evidence the material provides. The conclusion is drawn that whilst dissociative children present with some distinct difficulties, these do not dominate the therapeutic endeavour and are largely similar to the presentation of traumatised and attachment disordered patients with whom child psychotherapists are very familiar. Furthermore it is suggested that whilst child psychotherapists treating dissociative children should consider psychoeducuative, organising and validating interventions, their core psychoanalytic skills of withstanding and analysing hostile and perverse transference material, together with their experience in creatively bringing all parts of the self to the child‟s conscious awareness are central to helping dissociative children recover.

title: Psychosocial Concerns and Individual Anxieties for Fathers with Testicular Cancer
Creators: name: Russell, Kathleen
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the major areas of psychosocial concerns, individual anxieties and coping responses for fathers with testicular cancer. While numerous studies have been carried out with mothers with cancer, research from the perspective of fathers with cancer is sparse. This study attempts to identify and explore their specific concerns and priorities.
The study was approved by the Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH) Committee for Clinical Research (CCR) and the Local Research Ethics Committee (LREC). Men were recruited from the RMH Testicular Clinic. All of the men had two or three school age children and were from a range of ethnic backgrounds, professions and education levels.
The Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) of interviewing was used and the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method was employed to analyze the data. Psychodynamic concepts were utilized as the theoretical framework to develop interpretations for each participant. Theories of masculinity were also incorporated.
A set of themes emerged which was supported by the current literature. The psychosocial concerns included: lack of adequate medical information, concerns for children and wife and work concerns. The individual anxieties included: concerns around self concepts and masculinity, physical changes and self-image, challenges to faith and finding meaning, fear of recurrence, fear of death and annihilation. The participants employed specific coping responses including: intellectualization, minimizing, maintaining stoic façade and idealization which helped them to cope with the impact of their disease AND allowed them to maintain their sense of masculinity. This phenomenon was labeled “The Masculine Way of Handling Illness”. Additionally, the men split their cancer into the “good one to get”.
The findings suggest that men need more reliable information, preferably on a reputable UK site, about talking to their children, the physical effects of treatment and the options of having a prosthesis
title: Physical Match Demands in Youth Football: Informing Recruitment Strategies and Pathways to Elite Professional Football for Home-Grown Academy Youth Football Players

description: Traditionally, the process of identifying talented individual football players is subjective, and less informed by scientific evidence. There is also a lack of knowledge and understanding about the process of identifying and developing talent in young footballers (Larkin and Reeves, 2018). With the Elite Player Performance Plan setting regulations for academy football, a wide range of physical data is accessible from Global Positioning System (GPS). It is relatively unknown how the information from GPS units may facilitate in the pathway of talent development and may help to predict future professional football players. Therefore, the aim of the study was two-fold. Firstly, to understand which physical key performance indicators were influential in the selection and deselection of category one academy football players, and its interaction with age. Secondly, to understand the interaction that position had with selection, and age. Two separate statistical linear mixed models were processed. The first was for players aged between under-14 to under-18. The second accounted for player position aged between under-16 and under-18 due to the imbalances in players at age groups when position was factored. The linear mixed model was used to account for the varied sample sizes and repeated measures. Results revealed a significant main effect of high-intensity accelerations and decelerations, and total accelerations and decelerations, with selected players having a higher frequency compared to deselected players. There was a significant interaction between player selection and age for individualised high-speed running and individualised sprint distance. Selected players individualised high-speed running was consistently steady between under-14 and under-18, whilst individualised sprint distance decreased consistently between under-15 and under-18. Deselected players saw inconsistent patterns between under-14 and under-18 for both metrics. There were no significant interactions for position and selection, and age and selection. It is assumed that selected players had superior tactical awareness, therefore being reactive to game-specific situations resulting in a higher frequency of high-intensity accelerations and decelerations, and accelerations and decelerations. It was also assumed that selected players are more selective with their high-intensity bouts during matches, more specifically at the scholarship age (under-17 to under-18) and is in line with previous research findings. As no significant main effects were found for distance metrics, it was concluded that most academy players were well physically conditioned when part of an academy, meaning the differences in running performance are non-significant. Future research should integrate all aspects of talent identification and development in football in a multi-dimensional way.
title: Developing Content for Skills and Support Interventions for Mothers and Fathers of Children with Feeding Disorders

description: The present study was designed to gather information on how both mothers and fathers are impacted by their child’s feeding disorder as a precursor to the development of skills and support groups that are useful and relevant to both parents. Recent studies highlight that fathers play an important role in a child’s upbringing and both impact and are impacted by their child’s feeding disorder (Gueron-Sela et al., 2011; Piepenstock, 2010). Feeding disorders are treated systemically and therefore need to include both parents in the child’s treatment. This study used a quantitative, questionnaire based, independent groups design, where mother and father scores were compared on a range of variables identified as being relevant to feeding disorders. These included; anxiety, depression, loneliness, parenting stress and coping. A further aim of the study was to determine whether child and parent characteristics lead to different outcomes on the identified variables and therefore highlight which aspects need to be given greater weighting in potential group interventions. Thirty-six matched mother-father pairs completed the questionnaires in full. A series of calculations, Wilcoxon Rank Tests and regressions were conducted. Whilst mother scores were higher on each of the variables, it was of note that equal numbers of mothers and father scored above clinical cut-off for depressive symptoms (six of each), indicating that parental mental health should be addressed within support groups. A further finding was that a significant proportion of both mothers and fathers report feeling isolated when parenting a child with feeding disorders, this too should be addressed in groups, enabling communication within and between parent couples. This study highlighted the difficulty of both parents attending a weekday service; therefore perhaps innovative means of support could be offered, such as internet-groups facilitated by a clinician. Other findings of interest were that age of child and presence of developmental delay/Autism impacted on the severity of depressive symptoms and loneliness in both parents. It may therefore be useful to consider child age and presence of developmental delay when setting up skills and support groups. It is hoped that a parent skills and support group will be developed and trialled using information from this study.

title: Secondary School Staff’s Understanding of the Relationship between Problem Behaviour and Language Difficulties
Creators: name: Ramsay, Janet Marshall
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: The high incidence of undiagnosed language difficulties in students experiencing problem behaviours was the genesis of this exploratory study. The study considered how adults supporting these students understood the relationship between behaviour problems and language development.
A mixed methods methodology was adopted and the study was located within a critical realist ontological stance and a constructionist epistemological position. Semi-structured interviews and a Q sort were used for data collection. Eight participants were interviewed and 20 participants completed the Q sort. The participants were Special Educational Needs Coordinators and Pastoral Managers based in local authority schools in the North of England.
Thematic analysis was used to analyse the interview data set and the Q sort was analysed by an inverted factor analysis with a qualitative interpretation of the resultant factors. Finally, an integrated analysis using triangulation was conducted and this identified three meta-themes which indicated that despite a range of recent initiatives, school staff continued to have a limited understanding of the relationship between problem behaviours and language difficulties. School staff perceived their expertise to be within their subject areas and pedagogy and there was a reliance on previous experience and existing practice when considering causal relationships and interventions.

The study has implications for Educational Psychology practice at casework and systems levels as well as for commissioning of services. Educational Psychologists (EPs) need to be aware that how school staff understand the relationship between behaviour and language may preclude the identification of language difficulties, as may their own theoretical lens. EPs can promote the development of data collection systems and interventions for language skills as well as supporting the initial training and continuing professional development of teachers in this area. Commissioners of services need to include EPs in multi-disciplinary teams to conduct comprehensive assessments of students with behaviour difficulties.

description: Fire setting is a significant problem for society, costing many human lives and causing great property damage. One important risk factor of fire setting observed in forensic samples is fire interest. However, less is known about the relationship of fire interest and fire setting to other variables such as personality traits in subclinical samples. In this study, we observed the relationship of potentially important personality traits with fire interest and fire setting in a sample of N = 222 students. In addition to zero-order correlations, we calculated path models and a logistic regression including all predictor variables. From the Dark Tetrad, consisting of psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and three facets of sadism, psychopathy, and physical sadism were found to be associated with fire interest and fire setting. Furthermore, vicarious sadism was associated with fire interest. The other Dark Tetrad traits and four sensation seeking facets did not substantially add to the predictions. This confirms the results of previous studies with clinical and forensic samples with psychopathy and sadism as relevant predictors for fire interest and fire setting. Our results also provide evidence for viewing sadism as the multidimensional construct discriminating between vicarious and other forms of sadism, for the distinction of psychopathy and Machiavellianism, and for the Dark Tetrad being linked to object related violence.

title: Exploring Children’s Experiences of Participating in a Mindfulness Intervention
Creators: name: Reavill, Zoe
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: In recent years there has been a rapid growth in mindfulness practices being applied to improve the health and wellbeing of those who participate. As a result mindfulness-based interventions (MBI’s) have been applied in medical and educational settings.
The purpose of this piece of research is to explore children’s understanding of mindfulness following their involvement in a 12 week mindfulness based intervention. The research provides an in-depth explorative interpretation of both the pupils and the mindfulness practitioner’s experience of mindfulness.
Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was employed as a method of analysis which resulted in 3 master themes being identified. The themes include ‘physiological activities promote mindfulness’, ‘cognitive elements’ and ‘states of being’. Interpretation of the findings considered participants experiences in relation to the 7 attitudinal foundations as proposed by Kabat–Zinn (1990). A number of similarities between the participants were evident, as represented in the 3 master themes. However the degree to which each individual participant expressed their awareness and understating of mindfulness varied. Therefore the findings indicated that the participants were in the process of developing their understanding of mindfulness which differed between them on a conceptual level.
This study is considered of relevance for those in the profession of Educational Psychology and those interested in the application of mindfulness-based interventions to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for children and young people. The research has made a distinctive contribution within the field of mindfulness in light of the findings. Recommendations are made to inform the practices of Educational Psychology Services with reference to the work of Educational Psychologists. Suggestions for further research have also been made to aid the direction of future research.
