A meta-analysis on personality and cultural attitudes.
In psychology, prejudice has typically been studied by social psychology (e.g., intergroup processes), but the last 20 years have seen a renewed and growing interest for research on personality traits and prejudice. The present meta-analysis integrates findings between personality traits (Big Five), ideological attitudes (SDO; social dominance orientation and RWA; right-wing authoritarianism-), and cultural attitudes (cultural prejudice and cultural appreciation). Our theoretical framework was the Dual Process Model (DPM; (Duckitt, 2001), which posits that low agreeableness and low openness predict more cultural prejudice ...

The work-life balance of academic psychologists: Evidence and anecdote.
What represents a good work-life balance for career academics in psychology? What does it mean to have a good work-life balance? In this article, we use evidence and anecdote to discuss the challenges of achieving and maintaining work-life balance between faculty members’ offices and homes. To do so, we discuss the boundaries that bind and separate psychology faculty members to work and home, the dilemmas posed by what seems to be ongoing faculty availability, issues of time management, service to one’s own department and to the wider institution, and life at home. We close this article by suggesting that the only way ...

Enhancing multicultural and social justice competencies in Canadian counselling psychology training.
This article provides a critique of the current ways in which MC and SJ training are understood within the field of counseling psychology, how they are taught, and how this training is taken up and perceived by graduate students. We discuss the importance of counseling psychology continuing to move beyond dichotomizing MC and SJ competencies from foundational counseling competencies, to expand past traditional strategies of pedagogy, and to further commit to engaging in practices of decolonization, community involvement, and ongoing faculty training. Recommendations for instructors and graduate training programs are made t...

“And then came COVID-19”: Manitoban reflections on the emergence of the pandemic.
The growing body of research on COVID-19 has demonstrated physical, mental, social, and financial impacts on global populations. There is an absence of research, told through the unique voices of the general public, during early, critical stages of the emergence of the pandemic and pandemic-related restrictions, describing Canadians’ experiences. The Winnipeg Free Press sent out a public call through their print and online journal for personal reflections related to COVID-19 starting on March 22, 2020. A total of 44 reflections were published in this column (March 28–April 24, 2020). Authors de-identified and compiled ...

The impact of inequality on mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review.
Previous research on pandemics and emergencies has shown that such events often widen health inequalities in society and have a greater impact on socially disadvantaged groups. No review has so far looked at the impact of inequality factors on mental health outcomes during the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19). The aim of the current review was therefore to assess the impact of inequality factors on mental health outcomes during COVID-19. After registration on PROSPERO, a systematic review was conducted for papers published up to July 31, 2020, using the databases Google Scholar, PsycINFO, PubMed (MEDLINE), and Web of ...

On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Soon after, the first studies began documenting the impacts of the pandemic on children’s adaptation in Europe and Asia. In Quebec, Canada, few published studies, to date, report on the adaptation of children living in the context of a pandemic. This studies’ objectives are to: (a) describe the level of exposure to the pandemic; (b) present a portrait of the psychosocial adaptation and the mental health of children aged 6 to 17; (c) assess whether the experience of the pandemic influences their adaptation; and (d) evaluate whether children with mental health vulnerab...

Children’s mental health problems during the initial emergence of COVID-19.
This study provides the first longitudinal evidence in Canada of heightened risk to children’s mental health during the early emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings support initiatives aimed at increasing access to mental health care for children during and after the pandemic, in addition to incorporating mental health in home and school based educational services.

#RestezChezVous : Importance des habitudes sportives et de l’environnement de vie pour prévenir les inégalités de mal-être et de sédentarité pendant le confinement COVID-19.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of lockdown on mental health, levels of physical activity, and sedentary behaviour. A sample of 739 adults living in urban and rural areas completed an online survey during the initial period of lockdown in France. Results indicated the importance of developing routines to maintain levels of physical activity in order to minimize the psychological impact of lockdown, especially among young women living in urban areas.

Teaching styles and troublesome students.
Some psychology professors attribute students’ lack of motivation, dependency, irresponsibility, and overdeveloped sense of entitlement to the influence of overly permissive parenting. That may be partly true, but professors must share the blame if they tolerate or support the undesirable student actions and attitudes they bemoan. In this commentary I suggest that much as differing parenting styles are associated with differing developmental outcomes, different teaching styles may encourage different patterns of student behavior. I describe permissive-neglectful, permissive-indulgent, authoritarian, and authoritative tea...

La communication des neurosciences au tribunal : un courant de recherche à développer [Communicating Neurosciences in Court: A Line of Research to Develop].
This article presents pitfalls in knowledge transfer, notably those of the Canadian context, and aims at encouraging the development of a line of research pertaining to the communication of neurosciences by expert witnesses in court. Several arguments are presented. Eventually, scientific discoveries unearthed by this line of research will help to develop specific guidelines, to refine experts’ practices, to maintain their credibility in court, and to optimize knowledge transfer. Some qualitative and quantitative research designs are suggested. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Canadian Psychology)
