Message from the
Vice-Chancellor
I am delighted to welcome
you here for this graduation
ceremony.
Well done to all who are graduating today
for successfully completing your course.
At this time we must also acknowledge the
Swinburne academic and professional staff
who made your learning experience possible,
as well as parents, spouses, siblings, partners
and friends whose encouragement has
played a crucial role in your success.
Today your graduation allows us to celebrate
your achievements. You have fulfilled the
requirements of a demanding course of
study with focus and discipline and your
reward is an excellent education.
Such an education is all the more important
today because of the need to respond
to a rapidly changing world. Within our
knowledge-based society, many people
are engaged in ‘knowledge-based’ work,
across a range of fields and disciplines.
The achievement of high quality education
and training positions you to attain greater
prosperity and participate more fully in a
dynamic knowledge-based global economy.
Swinburne is consistently named as one of
the top universities in the world according to
the prestigious Academic Ranking of World
Universities. Therefore, I hope you take pride
in knowing that you graduate from Swinburne
with a high-quality education, obtained from
a world-ranked university.
I strongly encourage all of you who graduate
today to address the new challenges that
face your community and make a positive
contribution. I urge you to seize these
opportunities and help lead our society
into a promising future.
At Swinburne we encourage our students
to embrace the notion that we are all
learners for life. And so, I anticipate that your
graduation will not represent an end-point
to your educational adventures. We look
forward to welcoming you back to Swinburne
in the future, either in-person or through one
of many online learning opportunities, to help
you further your knowledge.
We are also delighted to welcome you as
Swinburne alumni and will take pride in
hearing of your achievements.
I sincerely wish you the very best for the
future and, wherever life adventures take
you, invite you to stay in touch with your
Swinburne community.
Linda Kristjanson
Vice-Chancellor and President

History of the university
The Swinburnes lived for many generations
in Northumberland, in the north of England.
In early times, the family owned a castle on
the banks of the Swin Burn, the brook of the
boars. By 1245 the Swinburne coat of arms
was ‘Gules: three boars heads argent’.
The arms
George Swinburne arrived in Melbourne
in 1886, aged twenty-five. His early days in
Melbourne were spent setting up gas plants
and bringing gas-light to the cities and towns.
As his business stature increased, he entered
State Parliament and became a minister.
The crest
Swinburne was established as the Eastern
Suburbs Technical College by George
Swinburne and the first students were
enrolled in 1909, when classes began in
carpentry, plumbing and blacksmithing.
In 1913 the institution changed its name
to Swinburne Technical College, to
commemorate the Honourable George
Swinburne. Soon afterwards, a boys’ junior
technical school and the first girls’ technical
school were established.
Following an extensive reorganisation of
advanced education in Victoria in the late
1970s, Swinburne was given the power to
grant bachelor degrees. The first of these was
awarded at a conferring ceremony held on
21 May 1981 at the Camberwell Civic Centre.
In 1992, Swinburne achieved university status
with the passage by the Parliament of Victoria
of the Swinburne University of Technology
Act. This marked not only Swinburne’s
distinguished history as a provider of further
education, but the beginning of a new period
of growth and innovation for Swinburne.
In recent years, Swinburne has progressed
to become one of the world’s leading
research-intensive teaching universities and
a leader in online education, expanding the
educational opportunities available to a new
generation of learners.
Swinburne’s emphasis is on high-quality,
engaged teaching and research in science,
technology and innovation – teaching and
research that makes a difference in the lives
of individuals and contributes to national
economic and social objectives.
Swinburne holds a unique place among
educational institutions in Australia in the link
that persists between it and the founder and
his family. The conferring of a modification
of the family’s coat of arms preserves and
strengthens that link.

The basic colours of red and white, and
the cinquefoils charged on the shield,
commemorate the arms of the Swinburne
family.
The demi-Boar and the cinquefoil perpetuate
the Swinburne connection; the book is
symbolic of learning.
The motto
The College of Arms’ translation of the motto
is: Achievement through learning.
The flag
The basic colours of red and white with
cinquefoils.
The mace and the chair
In universities, a mace is used as a symbol
of institutional authority and it is carried
in procession before the Chancellor as
a symbolic weapon of protection. The
ceremonial items of the office of the
Chancellor of Swinburne University were
designed by Emeritus Professor Helmut
Lueckenhausen, former Pro Vice-Chancellor,
Internationalisation. Fabricated from
Queensland silky oak, sterling silver and gold,
the mace has eight facets resolving as an
open silver finial and crown which contains
a carving of the rampant boar from the
Swinburne coat of arms. The chair also has
eight divisions on the seat and back with an
engraved silver boar and the Southern Cross
on the upper back. Artists and craftspeople
involved in the project with the designer
were Ian Higgs, cabinet maker, Geoffrey
Dunne, Swinburne design graduate, Sue
Wraight, netsuke carver and Hendrik Forster
and Marion Marshall, silversmiths. Civic
contributions made towards the purchase
of these items included the former City of
Prahran for the University for the Mace, the
former City of Hawthorn for the Chancellor’s
Chair and the former Shire of Lillydale for the
Chancellor’s Gown.
Academic regalia
The academic dress worn at Swinburne today
is a modification of everyday dress worn by
scholars and teachers in the Middle Ages and
the Renaissance. It consists of a gown and a
scarf-like stole or hood, which is a remnant
of the cowl that was once worn to cover the
head and shoulders to keep off the rain and
snow. Trencher caps or bonnets are worn as
indicated below, with the tassel down over
the left eye and in a vertical position.
The style of academic dress adopted by
Swinburne University of Technology is based

Thesis title: Investigation of the performance of cracked steel members
strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymers under impact loads
Many steel structures such as bridges, off shore platforms and
buildings may become deficient and deteriorated because of ageing,
changes in use or increasing daily traffic which exceeds the design
capacity. Carbon fibre reinforced polymers “CFRPs” are widely used
in structural rehabilitation. The impact loads on the deteriorated
structures are common. Earthquakes, blasts, waves, car accidents on
bridges and mass falls on structures are the sources of impact load.
Dr Al Mosawe’s research presents the performance of CFRP laminate
strengthening cracked steel members under quasi-static and impact
loadings.

Thesis title: Development of electrospun dressings for infected wounds
Chronic wounds show incomplete healing processes and expose
patients to high risk of infection. These wounds are painful, debilitating
and are estimated to affect almost 500,000 Australians. One major
challenge associated to chronic wound management consists in
limiting the bacterial load in the wound bed. A fibrous mesh capable
of actively cleaning the wound from bacteria was designed by
tuning fibre size and surface chemistry. Bacteria are attracted
from the wound bed towards the fibres and they remain trapped
within the fibrous network. The antibacterial action of a chemical
coating deposed onto the fibres ensures that trapped bacteria are
progressively killed.
Dr Emdad’s research focused on strengthening fatigue-prone steel
structural members by using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)
patches. Extensive experimental and numerical simulations were
carried out to investigate the effectiveness of CFRP in restoring and
enhancing the fatigue life of damaged members. The effect applying
prestressed patches to members was also investigated and the results
showed significant improvement in performance. The work involved
the development of an innovative and practical device to prestress
patches and applying them to real structures. Dr Emdad has won
the Griffith Hack IP award at the Swinburne Innovation Cup for this
development. The research outcome can be applied in the repair
and retrofit of steel structures such as bridges, buildings offshore
platforms and mining booms that are prone to fatigue fracture.
Wellage Prageeth Harsha Gunarathna
Thesis title: Performance measures for sustainable road transport
asset management practice
Dr Gunarathna developed novel methods for assessing sustainability
performance of road transport asset management practice. This
research focus is to integrate sustainability principles into road asset
management system and develop suitable measures for assessing
performance towards six dimensions of sustainability. These dimensions
include environmental, economic, corporate, technical, financial and
social sustainability. Both qualitative and quantitative measures have
been used for developing sustainability assessment methods. The main
outcome is an Excel-based tool for use by road agencies in assessing
their performances with regards to the adoption of sustainable
practices and processes.
Alireza Lajevardipour
Shibli Saleheen
Thesis title: Study of dynamics in biological cells via advanced
microscopy techniques
Thesis title: User interest-based filtering and clustering for web
information visualization
Dr Lajevardipour combined advanced optical microscopy with
computational modelling. In this way, he developed three novel
microscopy techniques for measuring the dynamics and interactions
of molecules inside biological cells. Addressed microscopy methods
shed light on the living cells to gain better understanding of the way
that those building blocks of life operate. A clear understanding of
the functioning of cellular system is a crucial part to find an ultimate
treatment of many human diseases. Dr Lajevardipour’s work has direct
applications in bio-photonics research field and promising applications
in medical diagnosis and health care.
The World Wide Web has become the major source of information in
the modern world. Users access information via browsers and search
engines. Alternatively, they can view web pages as graphs which
benefit end-users by enabling them to find related information and
its inherent relationships quickly and effectively. Existing web-graphs
are sometimes ineffective because the interests of the end-users,
especially those who have different information needs are not
sufficiently considered. To address this, Dr Saleheen’s thesis presented
an architecture of user interest-based web-graph generation which
models user interests and incorporates them in information filtering,
graph generation and clustering to produce personalized web-graphs.
Adrian Malec
Thesis title: Quasar absorption-line measurements of the cosmological
variability of fundamental constants
Rohan Mahendra Shah
A fundamental physical constant is a measure and a property of the
universe, believed to be unchanging in space and time. It is important
to test this supposed universal constancy, as deeper understanding
may likely lead to discovery of new laws of physics. In Dr Malec’s thesis,
light emitted from powerful phenomena called quasars is collected
using the world’s largest optical telescopes. This light intercepts matter
billions of years ago, allowing the values of two different fundamental
constants to be traced over vast regions of space and time. Careful
analyses using novel methods suggest no anomalous variation given
currently available precision.
Dr Shah’s thesis focussed on the development of a novel
microwave-assisted procedure to prepare lipid-based colloidal
drug carriers called solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). SLNs are an
attractive alternative to traditional drug carriers due to the use of
biocompatible lipid materials, their solid nature, nanometre size and
drug release properties. An array of drugs was encapsulated using this
innovative technique and their characterization, cellular uptake, drug
release behaviour and stability were investigated. Upon development
this method would facilitate fabrication of SLNs for use as potential
drug carriers.

Baraneedaran Sriskantharajah
Thesis title: Properties and performance of titanium alloy processed
by electron beam melting additive manufacturing
Thesis title: Timber pole integrity testing
Dr Mohammadhosseini’s thesis focused on mechanical properties
investigation and microstructure characterisation of titanium alloy
parts manufactured by Electron Beam Melting 3D printing technology.
A comprehensive study was carried out to fully comprehend the
potential of this 3D metal printing technology for applications of
customised titanium parts subjected to different operating conditions.
Hot Isostatic Pressing technique was used to improve the mechanical
properties of final titanium parts. The outcomes of this research are
expected to benefit biomedical and aerospace industry to provide
comprehensive information for quality production of patient-specific
biomedical implants or aerospace parts made of titanium. The
research has the potential to promote wider applications of metallic
3D technologies like EBM in the multi-billion dollar biomedical and
aerospace industries.
Thesis title: Microwave-assisted production of solid lipid nanoparticles
An estimated six million timber utility poles represent a significant
component of Australia’s infrastructure with more than $12 billion
estimated value. As timber poles deteriorate over time to varying
levels, power distribution companies in Australia and overseas carry
out routine inspections on such poles to assess their structural
integrity. The common techniques used in Australia are visual
inspection, sounding with a hammer and drilling which provide very
subjective and inaccurate results. Dr Sriskantharajah’s research
focused on stress wave propagation as a non-destructive testing
technology to examine pole defects and health. The outcome is
very promising and currently the technology is trialled among
several assets owners in Australia and New Zealand.
Alexander Christopher Thompson
Thesis title: Investigation of infrared neural stimulation in the cochlea
The cochlear implant is a successful bionic device, restoring hearing
to hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. Despite its success,
present devices are limited by the electrical interface with neurons.
Dr Thompson’s thesis studied the ability of infrared light to stimulate
the nerves of the cochlea. Experimental work was unable to replicate
previously published results and suggests that those reports may
be an acoustic artefact. However, modelling of light transport in
tissue confirmed the ability of light to improve spatial localisation
of stimulation, showing the potential of other optical stimulation
techniques.
Priyamvada Venugopalan
Thesis title: Near-field study of surface plasmonic lenses for
nanofocusing applications
Optical imaging has been utilised as a unique method for investigating
specific properties of materials. However, the optical resolution is
limited by the Rayleigh diffraction limit. Dr Venugopalan’s thesis used
the unique properties of surface plasmons lending them to the design
of a circularly symmetric three dimensional nanoscopic structure. This
structure can focus the energy of a plasmon to a very small volume,
much beyond the diffraction limit. The thesis presents a circular ring
plasmonic lens which can focus two wavelengths of light to the same
focal plane, opening up applications in super-resolution imaging and
optical-data storage.
Mohd Azman Yahaya
Thesis title: Dynamic response of aluminium honeycomb sandwich
panels upon impact of foam projectile
Limited knowledge about foam projectile impact in 2001 has caused
seven astronauts to lose their lives in the Columbia Space Shuttle
accident. Since then, a novel area of study related to foam projectile
threats towards structures emerged. Dr Yahaya’s research includes
insight into deformation of structures upon impact of foam projectile,
relationship between the foam projectile and the target and crucial
design consideration to withstand impact of foam projectile.

Thesis title: Construction in the Australian economy – understanding
the drivers of productivity
Dr Chancellor’s thesis ultimately explores the factors thought to
drive Australian construction productivity such as innovation through
research and development investment, and training through change in
the number of construction apprentices. Before it was possible to test
these factors rigorously, construction productivity was estimated at
the national, state and subdivision levels. These productivity estimates
were further refined by adjusting for change construction quality
and distortion resulting from change in shadow construction activity.
This research helps us to better understand how productivity in one
of Australia’s most significant and highest employing industries –
construction, can be improved.

Thesis title: Dynamic search space characterisation
Thesis title: Capital raising and management of Vietnamese small and

The graduates listed below have each made a valuable contribution
to Swinburne and their respective fields of research.
Graduates for awards from Swinburne Research will be presented
by the Executive Dean, Professor Michael Gilding.
Optimisation involves finding the best solution to an unsolved
problem. In problems that change over time, studies have shown that
the problem’s behaviour fundamentally affects the performance of the
optimisation technique. Therefore, determining the behaviour of an
unknown dynamic problem would allow the chosen approach to be
tailored accordingly and improve the overall optimisation procedure.
Dr Beer’s thesis proposes a set of characterisation metrics that gather
information on the behaviour of a dynamic problem. These metrics
can successfully characterise a wide range of problems based on their
behaviour and their topology, allowing for fast and efficient bottom-up
characterisation of dynamic problems.
Vietnamese Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are
considered the ‘backbone’ of the economy. Their development is
a key driver of sustainable economic development. However, they
are small, have limited capital, passive application of technology
and poor management skills. The intent of Dr Tran’s research is
to raise awareness regarding the difficulties of SMEs. The findings
are expected to contribute ideas to owner–managers of SMEs,
policymakers, training organisations and other national organisations
in implementing policies to minimise the obstacles of SMEs for
sustainable development of Vietnamese economy.

Alan Gerald Herschtal
Thesis title: Optimising radiation therapy delivery for cancer patients
using daily image guidance to maximise cure and reduce normal tissue
side effects
The graduates listed below have each made a valuable contribution
to Swinburne and their respective fields of research.
Graduates for awards from Swinburne Research will be presented
by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Development),
Professor Aleksandar Subic.
Doctor of Design
Cancer patients treated with radiotherapy are generally treated with
a large number of small daily doses of radiation to the tumour region.
The displacement of the tumour relative to its expected position
each day prior to treatment can be modelled mathematically to
determine the required width of the safety margin required such
that tumours receive high enough radiation dose to kill the tumour,
without overdosing surrounding healthy tissue. Dr Herschtal’s
thesis developed a new, more sophisticated method of calculating
radiotherapy margins, which considers more realistic displacement
patterns than has been the case previously.
Robert Alexander Hoffman
Thesis title: Participation, partisanship and the electoral reform process
Li Chen Tai
Thesis title: Understanding the web experience of elderly Taiwanese
learners: an investigation using structural equation modelling
Although online learning web sites have significant educational value,
Taiwan has none designed for the leaning needs of elderly citizens.
Furthermore, research into their learning needs is scant. Dr Tai’s
research project focused upon the level of interactivity that they
favoured, and their attitudes towards, and satisfaction with, this digital
environment. Three identical web sites were designed that varied
only in interactivity. 120 members of the University of the Third Age in
Taiwan participated. The results revealed that the level of interactivity
that they favoured differed markedly from that of younger people,
suggesting caution in assuming consistency across generations.
Dr Hoffman’s thesis is about the maximisation of electoral
participation, and the ways in which processes of institutional
development impact upon this pursuit. It considers the interaction
between electoral participation, electoral policy and the broader
institutional context within which both are embedded. Providing the
first comprehensive overview of these issues in the Australian context,
the thesis demonstrates how electoral policy development can only
be explained with recourse to the influence and constraint exerted
by the broader institutional structure, particularly the role of partisan
self-interest. Through this, the thesis grants illumination to those
interested in shaping electoral policy in the future.
Briony Louise Horsfall
Thesis title: Children’s participation rights during child protection
proceedings: recognition, legal representation, and the redistribution
of care in Victoria’s Children’s Court
Sally Clarke
Thesis title: Navigating asylum: journeys from Indonesia to Australia
Dr Clarke’s research investigates the liminal experience of Hazara
asylum seekers caught in transit in Indonesia, delving into issues
of displacement and survival. The study explores a number of
factors that lead asylum seekers to abandon their attempts at being
processed by the UNHCR, choosing instead to make the perilous
boat journey to Australia. Through the use of qualitative interviews
this research gains insight into the lived experiences of individuals
navigating the international protection system in the Asia–Pacific, and
explores the conditions that give rise to irregular migration.
Kellee Jane Frith
Dr Horsfall’s research is the first ethnography and court file study
in any Australian or international child protection jurisdiction where
children participate with direct, instructions-based representation.
The research provides original evidence for a relationship between
participation rights and children’s care and safety when deciding their
best interests. Legal representation satisfied participation rights to a
strong extent and children’s experiences reinforced this. Procedural
and forensic qualities of recognition occurred when magistrates
responded to children’s participation and safety concerns. However,
Dr Horsfall found institutional governance structures, responses to
gendered parenting and family violence, inadequate legislation, and a
fragmented child protection system weaken children’s rights.
Thesis title: Inside school design: the role of interior design in
cultural change
Dr Frith’s research investigates how interior design is being used to
shape new types of school spaces and places designed to promote
collaborative, hands-on learning experiences for children and their
teachers. The thesis documents these new learning settings explaining
how they work and providing instructions for how to make them. This will
help school communities, especially teachers, understand how to exploit
school interiors to support teaching practice. It will also help architects
and designers working with school communities to develop more
detailed design briefs for better functioning schools, which they will be
able to evaluate more effectively using Dr Frith’s research methodology.
Lee Matthew Lawrence
Rosalie Theodora Williams
Thesis title: Cognitive and emotional processing associated with
borderline personality disorder
Thesis title: How the three little pigs came to star in Independence Day
Borderline personality disorder is associated with inter-social
difficulties where daily stress, and especially relationship stress,
motivate individuals to act on emotional reactions. Especially in
borderline personality disorder, empathising based on emotional
reactions substantially increases the risk of inaccurate and
over-exaggerated behaviour and confusion or bias from difficulties
rationalising. Dr Lawrence’s thesis established a theoretical model
explaining borderline personality behaviour within intimate and
non-intimate relationships and, with reminders of trauma, empathy
was investigated outside the relationship context. Contextually,
results suggested that emotional sensitivities or negative memory bias
associated with negative self-defining or generic long term memory
processes contribute to borderline personality psychopathology.
Sarah Jane Smith
Thesis title: Gender and United Nations peacebuilding: a case study of
Timor-Leste
Using successive United Nations peacebuilding missions in
Timor-Leste as the focus, Dr Smith analysed how and why gender
has come to be part of peacebuilding practice, and how gender
policies are implemented on the ground in post-conflict settings.
This examination demonstrated limitations in the way women’s role
in peacebuilding has been conceptualised and practiced by United
Nations peace operations. The insights gathered in the Timor-Leste
case study provide significant and timely lessons for how gender is
understood and practiced in international peace operations, and what
this means for women’s empowerment and women’s security in postconflict settings.
Yion Ping Christina Ting
Thesis title: Towards sustainable living in Australia’s multicultural
society: An exploration of cultural differences in attitudes to
environment and consumption behaviours
With increasing migrants from Asian countries, especially China, Dr
Ting’s research investigated whether China-born migrants adopted
Australia’s high affluence and high consumption level because
their adoption would have consequential environmental impact.
The research found that Chinese and Australian cultures, besides
conventional factors like age and income, are influencing factors of
the differences in consumption behaviours between the China-born
migrants and the Australia-born group. The research findings stress
the importance of understanding the influence and role of culture
among individuals from different cultural groups, including migrant
groups, in order to encourage consumption behaviours that align with
a low-carbon and low-resource consumption lifestyle.
Dr Williams’ thesis examines how early human stories were about
disasters and how they ultimately evolved into today’s disaster
movie through the influence of European fairy tales. These films are
today’s fairy tales and are a reflection of how we, as a society, react
to the world around us and they show us how to respond in dire
circumstances. The research has added to the knowledge about
genre and filled a gap in the literature, utilising a jigsaw methodology
approach that can help other researchers when faced with scant
research material in an area.
Doctor of Psychology (Clinical Psychology)
Kerry Marie Chillemi
Thesis title: Does a self-help online psycho-educational program
on cyber bullying lead to increased confidence and help-seeking
behaviours amongst adolescents?
The main aim of Dr Chillemi’s research was to develop and evaluate
the ‘Increasing Resilience to Cyber Bullying’ program (IRCB). The IRCB
program is an online, self-guided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-based
psycho-educational intervention that was developed in response
to the clear need for adolescents to have access to a psychological
intervention program that promotes effective coping in response to
cyber bullying and encourages help-seeking behaviours. The study
found evidence that the IRCB program was effective in increasing
adolescents’ likelihood of using the coping skills of self-compassion
and challenging unhelpful thinking to cope with an experience of cyber
bullying. A further outcome of the research was a significant increase
in adolescents’ help-seeking attitudes and behavioural intentions to
engage with counselling services, in the event of being a victim of
cyber bullying.
Rachel Jellett
Thesis title: Raising a pre-schooler with an Autism Spectrum Disorder:
The impact on parent and family wellbeing, and the role of the home
learning environment
Raising a child with an Autism Spectrum Condition comes with
unique gifts and challenges. During the pre-school years, parents
are depended on to support their child’s early intervention, while
also adjusting to the Autism diagnosis. Dr Jellett gathered in-depth
information about parental wellbeing, parenting, and family life
using questionnaire and interview methods. Findings highlighted
wellbeing and family difficulties, resilience and the intensive support
provided to children in the family home. The findings encourage
health professionals to implement family-centered care, taking into
consideration parent and family wellbeing, as well as the needs of the
child with an Autism Spectrum Condition.
Anthony John MacKie
Thesis title: A phenomenological inquiry into important moments in the
group therapy experience of those with social anxiety
Dr MacKie’s study investigated important moments in the group
therapy experience of people undergoing treatment for social anxiety
disorder. Participants were invited to talk about their experiences
in the group, which generated information about the nature of
therapeutic change in social anxiety disorder and how the group
therapy contributed to this change. The findings highlight a number
of practical ways in which existing group therapy treatments for social
anxiety can be improved.
Annette Raber
Thesis title: Exploring the role of personality, expectancies and coping
strategies in co-occurring social anxiety disorder and substance use
disorder
Social anxiety disorder and substance use disorder are highly
prevalent psychological disorders which also commonly co-occur.
Dr Raber’s research investigated the roles of three key factors in the
relationship between social anxiety and substance use, with the aim
of improving treatment, education and prevention strategies. Results
confirmed the importance of personality (drive sensitivity), alcohol
expectancies (beliefs about the effects of alcohol use) and coping
strategies. The tension created by having high levels of both sensitivity
to reward and punishment, as well as having high levels of both
positive and negative expectancies, needs to be incorporated into
treatment protocols for affected individuals.
Faye Scanlan
Thesis title: Treatment choices for depression: young people’s responses
to a traditional versus a Health 2.0 website
Dr Scanlan’s exploratory study compared young people’s credibility
appraisals of, and behavioural intentions following, depression
treatment information provided on a Health 2.0 website compared
to a traditional e-health website. On the traditional website, each
depression treatment was assigned an efficacy rating based on its
evidence base. In contrast, on the Health 2.0 website, each depression
treatment was assigned an overall ‘helpfulness’ rating derived from
the aggregated feedback of young people with lived experience of
depression. This study was the first to explore credibility appraisals
of evidence-based versus consumer-generated medical treatment
ratings from the perspective of e-health consumers.
Doctor of Psychology
(Clinical and Forensic Psychology)
Ines Seric
Thesis title: Police officer decision-making in stressful, ambiguous and
potentially violent situations
Researchers and practitioners have long recognised the need
for decision-making theory to form the basis of police officer
discretion. Despite this, the policing sector continues to receive
little attention by means of generating an applicable and holistic
theory of decision-making. In Dr Seric’s thesis, forty-four one-on-one
interviews were conducted with Victoria Police members. Results
indicated the presence of multiple interactions between organisational
sociology, situational ambiguity and individual characteristics
in the decision-making process. From this, a critical analysis of
police leadership as the basis for operational, organisational, and
professional development is provided. Implications for policy, training
and future training are also discussed.
Elinor van Ommen
Thesis title: Predictors of attrition and exploration of the user
experience of adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their parents during
the randomised controlled trial of the Nothing Ventured Nothing
Gained intervention
Dr van Ommen’s research provides the first known comprehensive
exploration of pre-treatment attrition from the randomised controlled
trial of an online program for adolescents and their parents.
The findings reflect the multiple complex factors that influence
participant dropout which is a key consideration in the development
and implementation of internet therapy. Several key predictors of
attrition were identified including parent and adolescent self-efficacy,
parent education levels and adolescent locus of control and reward
responsiveness. The research also demonstrated the importance of
exploring participant dropout in research trials, and the need for more
rigorous standards regarding the reporting of attrition.
Doctor of Psychology (Counselling Psychology)
Mariel Francina Sanchez-Rockliffe
Thesis title: The dialogical self of migrants: exploring the migration
experience through self-narratives
Dr Sanchez-Rockliffe’s research employed the theory of the dialogical
self to study the effect of migration on the self. Data from structured
interviews of a sample of 38 migrants to Australia yielded life narratives
that incorporated distinct Australian and country of origin perspectives
or I-positions. Cluster analysis, probability distribution analysis and
case studies identified two modes of biculturalism, compatible and
oppositional, and showed that many migrants had I-positions with
unambiguously different content. The data support the utility of a
dialogical approach to understanding the sense of self rather than
models based on a single integrated self.
