This page lists my more recent publications and presentations in the area of cognitive skills, training, simulation, online learning and ICT literacy, pulled together under the umbrella of Cognitive Ergonomics or Human Factors Psychology depending on who’s asking. My core academic expertise in cognitive neuroscience (1984 – 1997) is documented in my academic CV, which is available on request and summarised on my staff profile page at Swinburne. A number of my publications are available electronically from the Swinburne Research Bank – publications are listed by year in my researcher profile, and you can click through to their entry in Swinburne Research Bank.

- Riggall, M., Skues, J., & Wise, L. (2017). Apprenticeship bullying in the building and construction industry, Education and Training, 59(5), 502-515.
- Four characteristics (intention to harm, imbalance in power, repeated behaviours, target interpretation) and two types (personal, work-related) were identified by participants (recent apprentices) as fundamental to the definition of apprenticeship bullying. Being the target of bullying was found to be commonplace during an apprenticeship. The consequences of apprenticeship bullying included poor individual (personal and work-related) and organisational outcomes.
- Muller, R.D., Skues, J.L., & Wise, L.Z. (2017). Cyberbullying in Australian primary schools: How victims differ in attachment, locus of control, self-esteem, and coping styles compared to non-victims, Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools, 27(1), 85-104.
- This study explored cyberbullying, coping resources and coping styles in a sample of Australian primary school students. The findings have implications for teachers, parents, school psychologists, and researchers in terms of defining and operationalising cyberbullying, and developing cyberbullying interventions for primary school children.
- Marti Carrillo, F., Butchart, J., Knight, S., Scheinberg, A., Wise, L., Sterling, L., & McCarthy, C. (2017). In-situ design and development of a socially assistive robot for paediatric rehabilitation, 2017 Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI2017), Vienna, Austria, 6-9 March 2017.
- While the paper at OzChi in 2016 focused on the socially assistive aspect of the robot, this presentation at an international conference focused on the participatory design process that was used to bring robots into healthcare settings.
- Skues, J., Williams, B., & Wise, L. (2017). Personality traits, boredom, and loneliness as predictors of Facebook use in on-campus and online university students, International Journal of Cyber Behavior, Psychology and Learning, 7(2), 36-48.
- This paper has taken forever to be published – while the data and issues are getting a bit old, the analysis is correctly performed, and the data are interesting.
2016
- Skues, J., Williams, B., Oldmeadow, J., & Wise, L. (2016). The effects of boredom, loneliness, and distress tolerance on problem internet use among university students. International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction.
- This paper reached the unsurprising conclusion that boredom in students tends to lead to increased internet use, which can lead to problematic internet use that affects academic performance.
- Paramboukis, O., Skues, J., & Wise, L (2016). An exploratory study of the relationships between narcissism, self-esteem and Instagram use, Social Networking, 5(2), 82-92
- This paper examined the relationship between narcissism, self-esteem and Instagram usage and was motivated by unsubstantiated media claims of increasing narcissism due to excessive use of social networks. The Instagram Usage, Behaviours, and Affective Responses Questionnaire (IUBARQ) was constructed specifically for the purposes of this study and measures of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and self esteem were also used. There was only weak evidence for any relationship between narcissism and Instagram usage, suggesting that media concerns are somewhat exaggerated. However the negative correlation between vulnerable narcissism and self-esteem warrants further examination.

- This paper identified that activity trackers are not overly reliable in estimating steps and activity.
- De Man, M., Parrington, L., & Wise, L. (2016). Dynamic adjustment of tool use in a response priming task in field hockey – the role of expertise in tool integration with body representations.

- Wise,L., McKay, S., & Skues, J. (2016) A two-factor model of trust and distrust for new technology environments. Proceedings of the 24th National Conference of the Australian Society for Operations Research, Canberra, UNSW- Canberra, 16-18 November, 2016. PDF version of submitted paper
- This paper presented the beginnings of a conceptualization of trust / distrust as cognitive operators to reduce cognitive load by delegating responsibility, and to maintain metacognitive awareness by validating waypoints and outcomes.
2015
- Groves, S.J., Skues, J.L. , & Wise, L. Z. (2015). Examining the role of personality factors in problematic video game play associated with Facebook games. Social Networking. 4(3), 80-95.
- This paper reported that an interaction between hypercompetitiveness and narcissism was the only significant predictor of Problem VideoGame Play (PVGP) for Facebook gamers whereas, in contrast, hypercompetitiveness and psychological absorption were significant predictors of PVGP for other types of gamers. These findings have implications regarding the structure of video games and demographic differences between Facebook Gamers and other types of gamers.

Annual Review of Cybertherapy and Telemedicine: Virtual Reality in Health Care: Medical Simulation and Experiental Interface Chapter 2, pp. 9-13.
- This paper attempts to provide a definition of cyberbullying that incorporates the perspectives of victims, bullies and bystanders. It does not quite manage to resolve the issue of which perspective should take precedence when perspectives differ on whether bullying has occurred.

- This paper reported on a brief sport-specific video-game intervention on decision-making in ice hockey. The study was more of a pilot study for the feasibility of this type of intervention than a full-blown study, but made some promising beginnings.

- This paper was more of a methods paper showing a way of displaying decision-making data to coaches in a format that would allow them to reanalyze data interactively using R and Shiny based on different interpretation of decision scoring, or different selection of cases, or a range of other parameters.
