    Creative Flow Open Studio: An Experiment in Everyday Creativity

    Virtual , Australia

    Charles Sturt University

    Why is it so hard to sustain something we know is good for us, and what might happen if we designed the conditions differently?

    Understanding Crime Through Emotions – Findings from a Two-Phase Study of Alexithymia

    UTS UTS City Campus, Building 10 Level 03, Room 470, 235-253 Jones St., Ultimo, New South Wales, Australia

    UTS Criminology

Despite growing interest within clinical psychology, its relevance to offending behaviour remains comparatively underexplored within criminological research. This presentation reports findings from a two-phase doctoral study examining the relationship between alexithymia and offending behaviour through a criminologically informed biopsychosocial framework. Phase One involved a systematic review synthesising over five decades of international research on alexithymia among incarcerated populations, identifying consistent associations with trauma exposure, mental health difficulties, personality functioning, and violent offending, […]
