Rae Therese Sinclair	Associate Professor Helen McLaren	Becoming Human: How Learning to Read Helped Transform a Teenager Murderer	The rehabilitation of juvenile offenders has long been seen as the domain of psychologists and social workers and despite the long-standing correlation between poor reading and juvenile offending, the potential of education-based interventions has been largely overlooked. This work captures the voice of a man convicted of murder as a teenager, who describes the impact that learning to read had on his life. His story is told along side that of his reading teacher in a poignant and candid narrative that concludes with his assertion that beyond all other benefits, reading enabled him to develop a sense of empathy, reflect on his actions and become more human. It foregrounds the role of the educator in both the preventative and rehabilitative processes for young people at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system.
Brady Aaron Stallard	Professor Shane Pill	Understanding aspiration to principalship: Perspectives of potential principals in Catholic Education South Australia	The purpose of this research was to understand the enabling factors and barriers to principalship with the objective of generating contemporary knowledge and understandings for a Catholic educational system to better develop and cultivate practices that achieve the anticipated school recruitment needs. This original contribution to knowledge has generated an understanding of what sustains or diminishes the aspiration to pursue principalship within Catholic Education South Australia which is valuable for creating an ongoing supply of motivated and qualified principals to ensure Catholic schools continue to thrive. Building on an underdeveloped field of research, this qualitative study has understood how teachers aspiring to principalship perceive and value their work to design more tailored and effective school leadership training. Through creating systematic approaches to identify potential principals this research ultimately supports the continual progressive trajectory, effectiveness and longevity of the careers of those with an aspiration to become a principal.
Malak Mukhlef O Alqaydhi	Dr Grace Skrzypiec & Dr Mirella Wyra	The Cultural Adaptation of a Social and Emotional Learning Program for an Intervention in Saudi Arabia’s Preschools.	Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is vital in early childhood education globally, but its integration into Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) system is lacking. This study explores SEL’s potential in KSA preschools via the Malak Islamic SEL (MISEL) Program, adapted to KSA’s unique educational context. Using mixed methods, it involved interviews with teachers and mothers, program shaping, and a study with 120 5 year olds to evaluate MISEL’s effectiveness. Measures included BASC 3 BESS and TRS CAB assessments, comparing pre and post intervention results between Control and Experimental Groups. Results showed MISEL’s significant positive impact on preschoolers’ social, emotional, and behavioural development, with the Experimental Group exhibiting greater improvement. These findings advocate for culturally sensitive SEL programs like MISEL in KSA’s preschools, highlighting the benefits of preschool attendance within a culturally attuned educational framework to enhance children’s behaviour.
Azizah Alsaiari Azizah Sabih S Alsaiari	Associate Professor Julie Clark & Dr Carol Le Lant	Influences of Self‑Efficacy on Pre‑Service Teachers’ Use of Technology to Teach in Saudi Arabia.	The research of the Mrs. Azizah focuses on informing and preparing pre-service teachers to implement technology integration and advocates for effective application of modern tools in classrooms. The research investigated the role teacher technology competence has and provides reasons why digital technology should be meaningfully integrated throughout preservice teacher education courses. Through this research, Mrs. Azizah sought to bridge the technology gap among pre-service teachers in Saudi Arabia, aiming to elevate educational standards. Her work provides insight into factors influencing technological self-sufficiency among educators. This research lays foundation for the ongoing re-development of preservice teacher education courses in Saudi Arabia.
Alycia Marie Budd	Dr Oren Griffiths & Professor Mike Nicholls	Belief beyond logic: An investigation of the role of intuitive reasoning in delusion formation and maintenance	Conviction is a crucial feature used to determine a diagnosis of clinical delusions in psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. While the precise mechanisms underlying the development of high conviction in delusions remains unclear, there is a robust literature investigating how repetition influences truth evaluation in healthy individuals. This truth effect has shown that statements that have been encountered before are more likely to be judged as true than novel statements. This project investigated how the truth effect relates to the development of clinical delusions in psychosis, by examining the role of content type and delusion proneness in perceptions of truth. Over four empirical chapters, the truth effect was compared across delusion relevant thematic content, referential descriptive statements, and individual differences in delusion proneness. The findings provide evidence for an interaction between the truth effect, delusion relevant content, and schizotypy, whereby higher levels of positive schizotypy predicted a larger truth effect for delusion relevant content.
Eliana Kasichon Anna Maria Grazia Clotilde Buonaiuto	Professor Emma Thomas & Dr Mariette Berndsen	Do You See What I See? When and Why Perspective‑Taking Reduces Intergroup Hostility, or Backfires	“Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes”, “Can you see this from my point of view?” – these are common phrases we use when we want people to understand the thoughts and experiences of another person, generally to encourage understanding and empathy. Formally, this exercise is known as 'perspective taking', and it is often used to reduce prejudice towards many social groups such as Black people, elderly people, Asian people, and refugees & asylum seekers. On the surface, perspective taking seems like a constructive tool to reduce prejudice. However, a body of evidence says that’s not the case perspective taking can also have no effect, or it can actually make people more prejudiced. As such, in her thesis, Eliana explored several factors that influence the effects of perspective taking on prejudice. She also examined factors that may encourage, or discourage, perspective taking. The insights from Eliana's PhD could help improve future endeavours to reduce prejudice.
Alexandra Rose Canty	Professor Reg Nixon & Professor Tim Windsor	Using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) to improve our understanding of day to day intrusion experiences and persistent post trauma impacts in survivors of trauma	Most research that has sought to understand why posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops and persists typically assesses groups of people over timeframes of weeks and months. This has left gaps in our current understanding of short term changes and how individuals vary day to day. Hence, this research explores trauma related factors using an intensive diary approach, Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM). This thesis conducted three studies that measured trauma exposed individuals’ intrusive memories, related distress, negative appraisals, and coping strategies several times per day over consecutive days. The findings highlight the importance of distress in coping, beyond how often memories occur, and demonstrated that trauma related relationships appear differently across hours and days as well as weeks. This work illustrated the within person processes occurring day to day in trauma reactions, contributing to rigorous testing of current PTSD theories, and demonstrated how ESM can advance our understanding of post trauma reactions with substantial implications for future research and clinical practice.
Madeleine Rose Curtis	Professor Sarah Cohen‑Woods & Professor Tracey Wade	Disordered Eating, Beyond Diagnoses: Classification, and Polygenic and Epigenetic Associations in the General Population	This thesis explored the broad spectrum of disordered eating in the general population, encompassing both clinical eating disorders and related behaviours, and their significant impacts on physical and psychological health. Findings revealed that with current diagnostic criteria, eating disorders remain indistinguishable by symptom severity. Additionally, they demonstrated that polygenic risk for anorexia nervosa can predict disordered eating more broadly, and that environmental factors such as parenting style and peer teasing influenced this relationship. These findings suggest shared genetic risk across disordered eating presentations and highlight the complex interplay of genetics and environment. Finally, this research revealed a link between disordered eating and accelerated biological ageing, with BMI playing a crucial mediating role. Overall, this research highlights the importance of research on disordered eating beyond clinical diagnoses, and supports the integration of genetic and environmental factors to improve, in the long term, early identification, prevention, and treatment of disordered eating.
Julia Jane Davidson	Associate Professor Julie Clark & Dr Julie McMillian & Dr Jane Jarvis	Understanding the Value of Assistance and Companion Dogs in the Lives of Adults on the Autism Spectrum.	The purpose of this research was to gain an in depth understanding of the perspectives of adults on the autism spectrum, regarding their experiences with their assistance or companion dog. These adults experience high rates of anxiety and depression, yet there are limited supports to improve their well being. This qualitative, grounded theory study used interviews and Photovoice to collect data from 12 participants, eight with an assistance dog and four with a companion dog. Data analysis resulted in six themes and a substantive theory. ‘A Grounded Theory of Support, Expansion, and Enrichment for Adults on the Autism Spectrum through their Connection with Dogs’ explains how the person’s connection with their dog can expand, enrich, and optimise their engagement and participation in their life. Dogs improved the well being of participants in multiple ways across their daily life, including improving their mental health and supporting common challenges in a natural, supportive, and empowering way.

Enola Kay	Professor Eva Kemps & Professor Marika Tiggemann & Associate Professor Ivanka Prichard	A nudge in the right direction: The efficacy of visual nudges for encouraging healthier dietary behaviours	Visual nudging is an implicit behaviour change approach, with the potential to encourage healthier dietary behaviours in our current food environments, which are increasingly dominated by unhealthy foods and beverages. Poor diets resulting from overconsumption of such ultra processed products, especially excess sugar from sugary drinks, are linked to a myriad of physical and mental health implications. Effective means of encouraging healthier diets are desperately needed. Four empirical studies examined the effectiveness of visual nudges for encouraging healthier beverage choices, with greater effectiveness found for more obvious and targeted nudging techniques. A systematic review and meta analysis of visual nudges was also conducted, which demonstrated the efficacy of visual nudges for influencing food and drink consumption behaviours. Findings from this thesis also highlight the need for more targeted nudging approaches. This thesis offers valuable insights for policymakers, educational institutions, and food vendors seeking to promote healthier dietary behaviours and improve public health.
Jack Samuel Manners	Professor Eva Kemps & Professor Peter Catcheside & Dr Hannah Scott	Advancing Fatigue Prediction with Data‑Driven Insights from Consumer Sleep Trackers	Everyone experiences fatigue, but this can be dangerous in high risk workplaces. Fatigue is often managed using mathematical models of fatigue, but such models tend to inaccurately estimate individual fatigue, and often require burdensome manual input. This thesis addresses this gap by exploring the use of consumer sleep tracking devices with models of fatigue. This research developed and tested machine learning models to predict fatigue from sleep data collected by an under mattress sensor. This work also compared and evaluated the accuracy of the device against polysomnography, and investigated how the device estimated sleep relates to several domains of cognitive performance. Findings highlighted the great potential of using sleep trackers within fatigue models, but underscored the limitations of such modelling in diverse settings with diverse cognitive outcomes. This research marks a significant step towards simplified fatigue management that will ultimately reduce errors and accidents in high risk workplaces.
Ashley Montero	Professor Murray Drummond & Professor Robert Adams & John Baranoff	Assessing the Prevalence and Contributing Factors of Sleep Complaints and Mental Health Issues among Current and Retired Athletes	The stressors and demands of sport are known to significantly impact the sleep and mental health of currently competing athletes. While the transition process of athletes’ retirement can result in great psychological distress, the effects of retirement from sport on sleep health are largely unknown. This thesis aimed to investigate the prevalence and contributing factors of sleep and mental health issues in current and former athletes. Specifically, a combination of large scale international survey data, at home sleep monitoring, and one on one interviews allowed for comparisons between current and former athletes. The work is novel, highlighting similarities in the prevalence of sleep and mental health issues between these populations across diverse samples. Findings hold practical significance, highlighting ways in which support practices can be improved to enable more enjoyable sporting experiences and facilitate easier retirement transitions out of sport.
Nadine Stirling	Professor Melanie Takarangi & Professor Reg Nixon & Victoria Bridgland	Is trauma research risky? Investigating ethical challenges facing psychological trauma‑related research	Psychological trauma related research has long raised ethical concerns, such as whether participation is highly distressing to participants or riskier than other research types. Although prior research has aimed to investigate such concerns, several important gaps remain. This thesis explored how people react to participating in experimental trauma related research and whether informed consent practices serve participants; both in terms of their needs for consent and whether consent risk warnings help, or harm, them. My research found that people typically tolerate experimental trauma related research well and that they are largely satisfied with current consent practices, irrespective of previous trauma exposure. Further, consent risk warnings do not appear to harm people; however, they also do not appear to work as intended. This thesis highlights the need to continue reviewing ethical research practices within psychology—and trauma related research— to ensure that they are working for participants and go beyond being an institutional requirement.
Lisette Yip	Professor Emma Thomas	Feeling Good, Looking Good or Doing Good? Exploring how the Quality of Motivation predicts the Quantity, Longevity and Persistence of Collective Action	People who take action to bring about social change – such as by signing petitions, attending protests, or posting on social media to raise awareness – often face speculation about their motives for taking these actions. The thesis investigates these motives and examines how different types of motives lead to differences in the quantity and longevity of action, and the extent to which people maintain their commitment to the cause after experiencing setbacks. In six studies, the findings show that the more people take action because it is personally important and congruent with their sense of self, the greater the quantity, longevity, and persistence of their action. In contrast, external motivators such as guilt or social approval can promote action in the short term but undermine long term commitment. The findings suggest that social movements should avoid using coercive tactics to recruit supporters and instead seek to foster genuine passion and interest.
Morgan Nikole Leske	Associate Professor Lisa Beatty & Professor Bodga Koczwara & Professor Tracey Wade	Co designing and evaluating the feasibility of an online physical activity, nutrition, and psychosocial intervention for post treatment cancer survivors	Regular physical activity and a nutritious diet following anti cancer treatment can improve Quality of Life in cancer survivors, yet many are not meeting healthy lifestyle recommendations. Research shows that cancer survivors want interventions that target physical and emotional well being. Online interventions can make such programs possible and more accessible. This thesis co designed and evaluated the feasibility of an online physical activity, nutrition, and psychosocial intervention. Cancer survivors, healthcare professionals, cancer support representatives, and digital health experts provided feedback on the proposed Healthy Living after Cancer Online intervention. Feedback ensured that the website design was simple, relevant, and used supportive strategies. A pilot study showed mixed results: while some participants found the intervention helpful, others faced motivation challenges. Adding two brief telephone calls improved engagement and satisfaction with the intervention. Self directed and guided online interventions show promise in supporting cancer survivors in achieving healthy lifestyle goals.
Lucy Ann Matson	Professor Melanie Takarangi & Professor Reg Nixon & Ella Moeck	Stuck on disgust: Investigating disgust’s memorability	People feel disgust when something is revolting to look at, potentially contaminating, or morally wrong, whereas people feel fear when facing threats of danger, pain or harm. Both emotions share similarities: they are negative, arousing and can occur in response to traumatic events. Yet, previous research suggests people remember disgust more frequently, and more accurately, than fear. This thesis investigated whether better memory for disgust (compared to fear) extends to traumatic experiences and various forms of memory, including intrusions (i.e., spontaneous/unwanted memories), accurate memories, and persistently feeling disgust. My research confirmed people remember disgust better than—and sometimes similarly to—fear. Remembering disgust is associated with more severe posttraumatic stress symptoms. This thesis suggests the reason why feelings and memories of disgust are harder to reduce (compared to feelings and memories of fear) during treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is because disgust experiences ‘stick’ in memory.
Zoe Elizabeth Michael	Emeritus Professor Neil Brewer & Professor Robyn Young	Detecting Suspicious Behaviour: The Influences of Autism and Theory of Mind	It has been argued by researchers and in the courtroom that certain characteristics of autism increase criminal vulnerability. Difficulties with taking the perspective of others and reading their true intentions are often raised as mitigating factors when autistic individuals have become involved in criminal activity. However, there is limited empirical evidence to suggest that these vulnerabilities are specific to autistic defendants. This research investigated the relationships between autism, perspective taking, and the ability to detect and respond to suspicious behaviour within problematic interactions. It introduced and evaluated a new measure for the detection of suspicious behaviour. The findings showed that there was no difference between autistic and non autistic adults at detecting suspicious behaviour. However, irrespective of diagnosis, perspective taking difficulties were associated with difficulty detecting suspicious behaviour. This research has important implications for sentencing decisions and the development of appropriate rehabilitation programs.
Katherine Robinson	Professor Tracey Wade & Dr Paul Williamson & Associate Professor Ryan Balzan	Investigating the Use of an Online Perfectionism Intervention for Disordered Eating	Perfectionism is characterised by excessively high standards and critical self evaluation. It affects mental health by fostering anxiety, depression, and body dissatisfaction. Perfectionism is a risk factor for the development of eating disorders and has been shown to effectively reduce disordered eating when targeted in treatment. Providing young adults with a perfectionism program may offer a “side door” approach to tackling disordered eating and body image concerns. An eight part online perfectionism program was developed using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. Five studies were conducted which looked at how the perfectionism intervention could be offered, whether it’s effective, and what can be done to make it more accessible amongst young adults and university students. The program was found to be efficacious when offered to young adults, but further developments are needed for it to be sustainably implemented in the real world.
Erin Tayla Simister	Professor Melanie Takarangi & Associate Professor Ryan Balzan & Victoria Bridgland	Beyond the blur: The empirical basis of Instagram’s sensitive content screens	Instagram, along with other social media platforms (e.g., TikTok), blur sensitive images and provide a warning—with the intention to minimise harm—but there is no empirical basis for these sensitive content screens. This thesis demonstrates that sensitive content screens in their current format do not function as intended; they neither deter people from viewing sensitive content nor help them emotionally prepare for it. Specifically, this research found people view sensitive content for different reasons, including to fill gaps in knowledge and regulate their emotions. Encouragingly, this thesis demonstrates that adapting sensitive content screens can improve their utility as a harm minimisation tool; adding brief content related information to screens can reduce uninformed engagement with sensitive content, and providing emotion regulation instructions on screens can help mitigate the impact of exposure to such content. Overall, this thesis suggests Instagram and social media platforms alike need to move beyond merely warning about upcoming content.
Grace Oyiela Wahome	Professor Damien Riggs & Dr Clemence Due	Statutory Child Protection Social Work and People With Refugee And Asylum Seeker Backgrounds Living in South Australia	People from refugee and asylum seeking backgrounds are among the most vulnerable people in the world. They are forced to flee from their countries in times of conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. Yet they may encounter new phenomena in their host countries, such as statutory child protection. Refugee families who encounter child protective services in their host country have expressed that such services do not always respect their traditional parenting styles. This research investigated the perceptions of child protection from 30 families of people with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds from South Sudan, The Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia, living in South Australia. Framed by Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, the findings guide statutory child protection practitioners to create environments that can enhance culturally safe practice at all levels. This will enhance collaborative approaches in working with refugee families, ultimately developing inclusive future statutory child protection practice frameworks.

Mr Robert Hannaford AM	Doctor of the University honoris causa	Robert Hannaford AM is recognised as one of Australia's premier realist painters. Largely self-taught, Hannaford grew up on his family farm near the small town of Riverton in South Australia’s mid-north having been an ancestor of South Australian colonial widow pioneer, Susannah Hannaford. Before spending three years as the political cartoonist on the Adelaide Advertiser from 1964 to 1967, Hannaford joined an advertising agency and worked with artists Hugo Shaw and Des Hurcombe. Hannaford received no formal training as a painter and did not attend art school, instead seeking the guidance from his great mentors which included Sir Hans Heysen and Sir Ivor Hele, whom he befriended in the 1960s. Hannaford would go on to make his living from painting and sculpture, living in Ballarat between 1967 to 1968 where he attended the School of Mines. He lived in Melbourne from 1969 to 1973 where he was the inaugural winner of the AME Bale residential art scholarship. Hannaford has subsequently become one of the nation’s foremost portraitists and landscape painter. His works feature many prominent public figures, including Dame Joan Sutherland for the Elizabethan Theatre Trust and one of Sir Donald Bradman for Lord's cricket ground. He has also painted three prime ministers, two governors general, many vice-chancellors, chancellors, academics and various heads of industry. He has been a favourite in both the Archibald Prize – in which he has been a finalist 26 times, and won the People's Choice Award three times – and the Doug Moran Portrait Prize, which he won in 1990. He won the inaugural Fleurieu Landscape Prize in 1998. Much in demand as an official portraitist, he painted the Historic Memorials Committee's official prime-ministerial portrait of Paul Keating and the official Centenary of Federation painting that now hangs in Parliament House alongside Tom Roberts' Big Picture. He has lived in country South Australia, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, where he was artist-in-residence at Sydney Grammar School. After returning to his roots, Hannaford bought a disused farmhouse and outbuildings at Peters Hill near Riverton in South Australia and has converted them into a dwelling and studio, where he now lives with his wife, artist Alison Mitchell. They were married in 2007 and own and operate Riverton Light Gallery, where they have exhibited in collaborative exhibitions. Hannaford’s studio at Riverton is where he has painted many portraits, his easel placed beneath a skylight that enables him to exploit the full range of daylight. Hannaford was recognised with a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2014 Queen’s Birthday Honours list for significant service to the visual arts as a painter and sculptor. In 2015, the Art Gallery of South Australia showed more than 200 of his works in the solo exhibition Robert Hannaford. The National Portrait Gallery owns his portraits of Dame Joan Sutherland, Robert Dessaix, Alexander Ramsay, Tim Flannery and Dr Lowitja O'Donoghue, the latter painted on commission. Hannaford is also a committed lover of the Australian native flora and fauna and was the visionary and founding member of the Bushland Conservation Company and Hesters Conservation Company which aims to preserve biodiversity by buying land on Kangaroo Island, and elsewhere in South Australia, and planting regional flora. Bushland Conservation was an early leader in corporate nature conservation in SA and the shareholders have been successful in conserving and enjoying some of SA’s remaining natural bushland, using the corporate model to allow their shareholders to jointly achieve what individuals may have previously found impossible. Robert Hannaford AM is an extremely worthy recipient of a Doctor of the University honoris causa from Flinders University in recognition of his contribution to the art world across the past 60 years and his ongoing commitment to conservation in South Australia.
