Male and Female Victims of Dating Violence in Both Heterosexual and Same Sex Relationships: Differences in Attachment Style and Help-Seeking Behavior ::

Kathleen Kline, Matthew Geyer
Walden University

Current research on dating violence has established that victimization by dating violence is a major social problem accross college campuses. Victimization by dating violence exists regardless of a student's gender or sexual orientation. Many victimized by dating violence experience consequences ranging from physical injury to enduring psychological trauma and even death. A link between attachment style and help-seeking behavior among individuals seeking help for various medical and psychiatric/psychological problems has led to the development of innovative interventions designed to assist those who would not otherwise seek help. The purpose of the study is to examine differences in type of violence experienced, attachment style and help-seeking behavior or type of help sought among both male and female victims of dating violence in both heterosexual and same-sex dating relationships among college students to further research in this area which could lead to the development of effective screening protocols and interventions specifically designed to assist victims of dating violence regardless of gender or sexual orientation who might not otherwise seek help. This web-based, online, completely anonymous and confidential survey is hosted on a secured, password protected, encrypted survey service site, www.surveymonkey.com.

An Internet Study: The relationships between men's self-reported physical attributes, body image, self-esteem and internet dating ::

Annabel Chan, Gerard Kennedy
Victoria University, Australia

There has been quite a lot of research conducted on women's body image and we have a reasonable understanding of the types of factors that impact on women's body image and that ultimately lead to disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa. However, we know very little about men's body image and the factors that impinge on the way males think about their bodies. Consequently we also know very little about how this impacts on men's health. Do you want to do something about it? If so, you are invited to take part in a research project that will focus exclusively on men's body image. Previous research has highlighted the impact of men's physical attributes on body image and how men perceive their own body. The purpose of this study is to further explore the relationship between physical qualities of men, their body image and self-esteem, using an Internet sample. All men above the age of 18, who have at least basic literacy in English, are invited to participate in this study. If possible, please have a tape measure ready. The questionnaire consists of 62 mostly multiple-choice questions and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain anonymous and no identifying information will be collected. You are free to withdraw from this study at any time.

Ben Rosser
University of Exeter

The purpose of this study is to examine how the way people think influences the way they view and experience the world. The study aim is to explore how the speed and content of our thoughts may impact on how we interpret information and how we feel. It may be that specific psychological difficulties, like anxiety and mania, relate to these thought processes which are associated with tendencies to view the world in a particular, perhaps unhelpful, way. By understanding the impact of these processes we may better understand how to intervene to help people experiencing certain psychological difficulties.

The Relationship between Childhood Events and Adult Problem Solving Skills ::

Michael Dimambro
University of Worcester

This study is concerned with the how an individual’s childhood affects their ability to problem solve as adults. Previous studies have found a link between an unstable childhood and a reduced performance in problem solving, however, a more recent study (Mittal et al., 2015) has found a link that suggests that an unstable childhood, although reducing performance on most aspects of problem solving skills can actually make the person improve on a specific type of problem solving– i.e cognitive shifting, which is the ability to switch between different mental tasks. This result was only found when these individuals were in unstable environments. Therefore, this study is exploring whether a link exists between an unstable childhood and various aspects of problem solving skills.

Interpersonal Values and Political Orientation ::

Andrew Reilly, Arran Gare, Christine Critchley
Swinburne University of Technology

This study aims to investigate the relationship between peoples’ attitudes towards other people and their political values, as there has been very little research in this area to date. Interpersonal values are the values that people have concerning their interactions with other people. For example, some people enjoy spending time with others and working together, while other people prefer to spend time alone and working by themselves. All of these values can be considered to be important in some way, and the purpose of this study is to see whether they are related to the kind of political values people have. The purpose of this study is not to ‘pigeon-hole’ people, but to gain an understanding into how people’s values are expressed in our political systems.
Participants need to have voted in at least 3 elections in the last 10 years. Prize draw for $AU100 gift voucher.
