An investigation of implicit theories and factors implicated in sex offending theory in a non-offending population
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2012)This thesis set out to explore a number of constructs implicated in the sex offending literature within a sample of non-offending men. This particular sample was chosen in order to investigate the 'nonnal' presentation of ... -
The captive brain: Torture and the neuroscience of humane interrogation
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Despite it being abhorrent and illegal, torture is sometimes employed for information gathering. However, the extreme stressors employed during torture force the brain away from the relatively narrow, adaptive range of ... -
Assessing the efficacy and acceptability of an internet-delivered intervention for resilience among college students: A pilot randomised control trial protocol
(2019)Background: Exposure to new stressors places college students at increased risk for developing mental health problems. Preventive interventions aimed at enhancing resilience have the potential to improve mental health and ... -
Wellbeing in Aviation Summit
(2019)Understanding pilot wellbeing, and its impact on flight safety: identifying self-management strategies to promote the bio-psycho-social pillars of wellbeing. -
Adolescent binge drinking disrupts normal trajectories of brain functional organization and personality maturation
(2019)Adolescent binge drinking has been associated with higher risks for the development of many health problems throughout the lifespan. Adolescents undergo multiple changes that involve the co-development processes of brain, ... -
Decisions, Decisions: Machine Learning as a Tool to Identify Alcohol-use Disorder Treatment Seekers
(Elsevier, 2019)Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are very common in the developed world [1], yet only a minority of individuals with AUD seek treatment. Several factors influence the choice to seek treatment, including demographic, psychological ... -
Predicting development of adolescent drinking behaviour from whole brain structure at 14 years of age
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)Adolescence is a common time for initiation of alcohol use and development of alcohol use disorders. The present study investigates neuroanatomical predictors for trajectories of future alcohol use based on a novel voxel-wise ... -
Commentary on Afzali et al. (2019): Two data sets are better than one
(Society for the Study of Addiction, 2019)The use of large data sets in addiction research iswelcome, because statistical power is increased. Whenapplied to large data sets, machine learning can help withinterpreting variable importance and with ... -
Pubertal maturation and sex effects on the default-mode network connectivity implicated in mood dysregulation
(2019)This study examines the effects of puberty and sex on the intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) of brain networks, with a focus on the default-mode network (DMN). Consistently implicated in depressive disorders, the DMN’s ... -
Mapping adolescent reward anticipation, receipt, and prediction error during the monetary incentive delay task.
(2019)The functional neuroanatomy and connectivity of reward processing in adults are well documented, with relatively less research on adolescents, a notable gap given this developmental period’s association with altered reward ... -
Dissociable psychosocial profiles of adolescent substance users
(Public Library of Science, 2018)Alcohol, tobacco and cannabis use in adolescence is associated with adverse outcomes. Characterizing adolescent substance misusers, however, is difficult due to the wide range of risk and protective factors linked to ... -
Exploring the Relationship Between Usage and Outcomes of an Internet-Based Intervention for Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of Data From a Randomized Controlled Trial
(2019)Background: Internet interventions can easily generate objective data about program usage. Increasingly, more studies explore the relationship between usage and outcomes, but they often report different metrics of use, and ... -
Assessing the efficacy and acceptability of an internet-delivered intervention for resilience among college students: A pilot randomised control trial protocol.

Supportive supervision for community health workers : a case study of Ethiopia's Health Extension Programme
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2017)Supervision of community health workers (CHWs) is an essential component of primary health care programmes. Yet supervision systems tend to focus on inspection and fault finding, which have been found to be demotivating ... -
Developing emotion focused therapy for CAD in women with breast cancer : an analysis of six case studies
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2016)Aims: The aim of the current study is to develop a variant of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for Comorbid Anxiety and Depression (CAD) in women with breast cancer by presenting a series of case studies followed by a cross ... -
Examining the Relationship Between Alcohol and Multiple Impulsivity Endophenotypes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2019)Alcohol misuse is a leading global health concern, and its occurrence is rising among adolescents and young adults. Associations between different aspects of impulsivity and alcohol-related outcomes have been the focus of ... -
Shaping the Effects of Associative Brain Stimulation by Contractions of the Opposite Limb.
(2018)There has been an explosion of interest in methods that may promote neural plasticity by indirectly stimulating tissue in damaged brains using transient magnetic fields or weak electrical currents. A major limitation of ... -
Interventions to support the management of work-related stress (WRS) and wellbeing/mental health issues for commercial pilots
(2019)Research indicates that sources of work-related stress (WRS) impact on the physical, social, and psychological health of pilots. Furthermore, specific features of the job can increase a pilot’s risk in relation to developing ... -
Amygdalar reactivity is associated with prefrontal cortical thickness in a large population-based sample of adolescents
(2019)In structural neuroimaging studies, reduced cerebral cortical thickness in orbital and ventromedial prefrontal regions is frequently interpreted as reflecting an impaired ability to downregulate neuronal activity in the ...
