Results for participants were compared with a waiting-list control group. Outcomes investigated were well-being (depression, psychological distress, self-esteem, life-satisfaction, guilt, anger, helplessness), attitude to work (employment expectations, employment commitment, employment value) and life-situation (social support, financial ...

We expected (a) that when contemplating unachievable goals, those with a higher capacity to adjust their goals (ie, to disengage and reengage) would report less distress, more career planning, and more exploration; and expected (b) that the relationships between goal adjustment and the ...

Participants were Grade 7 students (N = 174) and their parents. Multiple measures of reading achievement, ability, rapid visual processing and perceptions of competence and attitudes toward reading were obtained. Parent reports concerned family reading histories and current reading practices. Significant relationships were found between parent reading history and children's single word reading skills, spelling, reading comprehension, orthographic processing skills, and perceptions of reading competence. No significant relationships were found between parent reading history and children's phonological, rapid visual processing or non-verbal ability. While children with poor reading skills were significantly more likely to come from a family with a history of reading difficulties, this measure did not account for additional variance in reading performance after accounting for other variables. Phonological, orthographic, rapid visual sequencing and children's perceptions of their reading competence made significant independent contributions to single word reading and spelling outcomes. Orthographic processing, non-verbal ability, children's attitudes toward reading, and word identification skills made significant independent contributions to the explanation of reading comprehension. Family reading history provides an important indicator of the likelihood of reading difficulties, but objective measures of actual processing skills, are the best indicator of a current reading difficulty. All measures are important to consider in any evaluation of early adolescents' reading skills. No Yes

All participants were assessed for levels of Economic Deprivation, Experiential Deprivation, Social Loneliness and Psychological Distress. Results indicated that Economic Deprivation and Experiential Deprivation varied according to occupational status, with those full-time employed having the least deprivation and those not attached to the workforce experiencing the most deprivation. Levels of deprivation were related to levels of Psychological Distress. Social Loneliness also varied across the occupational groupings. The unemployed with access to regular paid work experienced the least Social Loneliness; the unemployed with no paid work experienced the most. Lastly, both Economic and Experiential Deprivation was able to predict Psychological Distress; only Experiential Deprivation was able to predict Social Loneliness. Results are discussed in the context of Jahoda's (1982) deprivation model and Weiss's (1973, 1974) social loneliness model. Yes Yes
