• “It's Like You're a Living Hostage, and It Never Ends”: A Qualitative Examination of the Trauma and Mental Health Impacts of Coercive Control

  Coercive control is a complex and poorly understood dimension of intimate partner violence that is associated with trauma and mental health consequences. It is essential to understand the nuanced and varied experiences of coercive control and potential processes of traumatization. In this qualitative phenomenological study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 women who had experienced coercive control and accessed domestic violence services in Australia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, which addressed two research questions: (1) How do women describe their experiences of coercive control and (2) How do women describe the impact of coercive control exposure on their mental health? Findings identified entrapment and insidiousness (characterized by subtlety, intangibleness, and gradual worsening), as underlying dimensions of coercive control that were central to the trauma and mental health reactions of participants. These women also described a range of trauma and mental health reactions (e.g., anxiety, hypervigilance, affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances with trust and relationships). The findings have important implications for research and practice, highlighting the pressing need for the provision of trauma-informed and integrated psychosocial care by frontline services, health care providers, and mental health professionals who support women who have been exposed to coercive control.

  = .33; [.26, .40]). Only one study reported on the relationship between coercive control and complex PTSD and meta-analyses could not be performed. This review indicated that coercive control exposure is moderately associated with both PTSD and depression. This highlights that mental health care is needed for those exposed to coercive control, including trauma-informed psychological interventions.

• The Impact of Economic and National Identity Loss Messages, and the Moderating Effect of Political Orientation, on Climate Change Policy Support

  preprintOpen access

  As climate change continues to be politically divisive, developing communications that align with right-leaning beliefs may increase bipartisan support for climate policy. In two experimental studies (Study 1, Australia, N = 558; Study 2, United States, N = 859), we tested whether an economic loss or national identity loss message would elicit greater support for mitigation and adaptation policies when compared to one another and to a control message. We also tested whether the direct effects of these message types were conditional on political orientation (specifically, identifying as politically right-leaning). In both studies, preliminary analyses indicated that the message manipulations were effective and that there was a high level of support for both types of climate policy. When compared to left-wing adherents, those who were politically right-leaning were less likely to support mitigation and adaptation policies in either sample. Australian (Study 1) identification – although not American identity (Study 2) – also uniquely predicted adaptation support (but not mitigation support). Yet, there were no significant message frame or interaction effects in the Australian (Study 1) or U.S. sample (Study 2). This suggests that neither an economic loss nor national identity loss message frame may be effective in overcoming the political polarization of climate change in Australia or the United States. Nevertheless, national identity could still play a useful role in Australian climate communications given its positive relationship to adaptation policy support, and therefore warrants further investigation.

• Universitas Reformata Semper Reformanda

  2020-03-27

  book-chapter1st authorCorresponding

  Universitates semper reformandae sunt (Latin: universities are continually in need of reform). They are naturally and inherently antithetical to change. The politics of university reform resemble a tug of war between foot-dragging university faculties and their whip-cracking political principals. The former win for the most part, the latter every now and then, which is why university history features the punctuated equilibrium pattern, to wit: long periods of institutional stasis punctuated by occasional bursts of university reform. This facile narrative deserves to die. With this essay I seek to complexify our thinking about the politics of university reform. Properly configured, the university is naturally and inherently dynamist. It constitutes the point of attraction in a political parallelogram of forces, with the net resultant force representing the forward movement of science and society. If the resultant goes awry, would-be university reformers can tweak the force field, by modifying one or the other component force in the parallelogram, or by adding or subtracting a force. The prescription is to proceed conservatively, however. The university's defects are complexly entangled with its defences. A brute force attempt to repair the university's defects can inadvertently ruin its defences. Chances are that the cure is worse than the disease, in which case the principle 'do no harm' calls for a policy of 'do nothing'. University reform properly understood is about defending the inherited idea of the university as it manifests itself in the form of the political parallelogram. I examine two cases of university reform politics, one that played out wastefully in the United States, the other, destructively in the United Kingdom. I demonstrate that my bottom-up complex systems approach, as epitomised by the political parallelogram, gives us a better handle on the politics of university reform than does top-down principal-agent reasoning, as evidenced in the facile narrative.
