Research interests

  • Groups for Belonging: a parallel cluster randomised controlled trial of a group-based loneliness intervention for people attending treatment for AOD use

    Dingle is CIC on this project funded NHMRC $1.29M over 4 years to support a cluster randomised controlled trial of the Groups 4 Belonging program (Dingle, Ingram, Haslam & Kelly, 2019) in multiple AOD services in NSW, VIC, QLD and ACT. University of Wollongong is the administering institution.

  • Controlled Trial of Sharper Minds: A Mental Health Prevention Package for University Students Targeting Multiple Self-Care Behaviours

    Supported by $480K 2023-2025 strategic funding from UQ VC and Office of the DVC(Academic). Dingle leads this interdisciplinary collaboration between students, researchers (UQ, Griffith University), staff of UQ Student Services, and GPs and other health professionals at UQ Health Centre. The package features co-designed materials to increase students' mental health literacy, offering a self-monitoring e-tool, and 6 short courses to improve health and self-care behaviours to prevent mental health problems and promote academic success. The project has strong research and practice training components, including Honours, Masters and PhD thesis students and Masters in Psychology, Dietetics, and Exercise Physiology students who deliver the courses as part of their supervised practicum placements. Outputs: 4 scholarly papers, >20 honours theses, 2 PhD students theses in progress.

  • A community based social identity approach to loneliness

    Supported by an Australian Research Council linkage grant (2020-2023). Dingle led this longitudinal controlled evaluation of social prescribing for loneliness and social isolation in southeast QLD. We applied a social identity theoretical approach to understand the psychosocial processes that determine successful engagement into meaningful community-based groups. Outputs: Final technical report, 6 scholarly publications, 1 PhD completed.

  • Randomised controlled trial of Tuned In - a music based emotion regulation intervention

    Tuned In is a group emotion regulation intervention that uses participant selected music listening to evoke emotions in session. It has been evaluated with adolescents in mainstream schools, at risk adolescents in community services, and in international university students. Currently being evaluated in university students of all ages, including a 4-week follow up to find out what elements of the course students learn and apply.
