Sleep videos and posters created by PS362 students
Students on the PS362 Sleep and Health module have created an impressive range of videos and infographic posters showcasing their knowledge of sleep science and their ability to communicate it to wider audiences. The overall quality of the work was outstanding, making it difficult to select just a couple examples to highlight.
Title: Weekend Catch-up Sleep [] [posterLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window]
Students: Flora Barros Azevedo, Ella Browne, Matilda Cutting, Edie Mellor, Ida Slavina
These outstanding submissions were selected for their depth of content, clarity of communication, high production quality, and their success in translating psychological research into engaging, accessible formats for wider audiences.
We warmly congratulate all of the students recognised here and extend our thanks to everyone who contributed such thoughtful and high-quality work.
Professor Dieter Wolke and Dr Tanya Lereya's paper on bullying features as the most cited paper of the 2010s in Archives of Disease and Childhood 100th Anniversary list of most influential papers
The Archives of Disease in Childhood (ADC), the leading publication in Child Health in the UK by the British Medical Association celebrates the 100th Anniversary. As of 2025, ADC has published over 38000 documents. Celebrating this anniversary - they have looked back at the most influential papers over the decades by pointing out the most cited articles of the main ADC edition in every decade.
Dieter Wolke is pleased that the ADC paper, co-authored with then postdoc Dr Tanya Lereya was the most cited in the 2010s. The paper focussed on the long term effects of bullying and the implications for public health. Doctors need to ask about bullying and consider it in their practice!
The full citation is: . the paper is open access!
Furthermore, another research paper with Dieter's collaborators then in Basel made it in the top 5 most cited by ADC in the 2010s: . Since completing his PhD thesis Dieter has been researching and lecturing on the long term effects of crying, feeding and sleeping problems in infancy and toddlerhood and their treatment.

Systematic review highlights gaps and provides roadmap for future studies
Resilience is a powerful concept often used in science, policy, and everyday life. But what does it really mean, and how has it been studied over time?
The study, 鈥淎 systematic review of conceptualizations and statistical methods in longitudinal studies of resilience鈥, led by Professor Dieter Wolke, Dr. Yanlin Zhou, and colleagues provides the most comprehensive overview to date of how resilience has been defined and measured over the past three decades.
This paper was recently published in Nature Mental Health. It systematically reviewed more than 190 longitudinal studies of resilience, covering over 800,000 participants across the life span. The key findings include:
- Only one in three studies clearly defined resilience, with varying interpretations as a trait, process, or outcome.
- Most research relied on variable-centred statistical methods and moderation models, with a strong focus on mental health outcomes following childhood or family adversity.
- Protective factors were often studied at the individual, family, and social levels, while genetics and neurobiological factors were rarely investigated.
The review calls for greater clarity in definitions and the use of multisystemic frameworks, and it provides methodological approaches to strengthen future resilience research. It offers a landmark for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand and promote resilience across the life course.
The authors commented 鈥淩esilience is an intriguing concept, but our review shows it has often been used inconsistently. We provide recommendations to help researchers design clearer, more robust studies that can ultimately improve resilience science, interventions, and policies to support vulnerable individuals.鈥
