Mental health challenges in the Irish thoroughbred horse breeding industry: Prevalence and associated risk factors.
Acta psychologica    February 12, 2026   Volume 264 106436 doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2026.106436
McDonald C, Cullen S, O'Connor S, Warrington G, Pugh J, McGoldrick A, Nolan C, Losty C.The thoroughbred horse breeding industry contributes significantly to the Irish economy. However, staff shortages threaten the economic sustainability of the industry, as well as the welfare of both horses and workers. Previous research on the staffing crisis faced by the broader horseracing industry has highlighted mental health concerns as a factor. Furthermore, the influence of workplace context on mental health has been widely recognised in organisational psychology. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence rates of Common Mental Disorders (CMDs) in Irish thoroughbred horse breeding ...
The next hurdle – Female jockeys, motherhood and the horse racing industry.
Acta psychologica    October 23, 2025   Volume 261 105822 doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2025.105822
Losty C, Sreenivas S.Feminist sport researchers examine the unique experiences of female athletes as crucial in promoting women's sport participation and parity in opportunities (Lebel et al., 2021). Insight into the unique stressors encountered by female jockeys in Ireland (Irl) and the United Kingdom (UK) may provide sport scientists, practitioners and policy makers with a greater awareness of the specific supports they need (Losty & Sreenivas, 2023). Deeply personal and complex decisions for female athletes, such as starting a family, can be shaped by various professional performance factors. The impact of beco...
To start or stop an action depends on which movement we perform: An appraisal of the horse-race model.
Acta psychologica    May 12, 2021   Volume 217 103332 doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2021.103332
Hervault M, Huys R, Buisson JC, Francheteau M, Siguier P, Zanone PG.In order to gauge the executive processes underlying adaptive behavior, a central criterion in psychology is the extent to which experimental findings generalize across response types. The latency of two major acts of control, action initiation and inhibition, was evaluated using a stop-signal paradigm with two response types, involving either a finger key-pressing or a wrist pen-swiping response. In both conditions, 40 participants were instructed to respond quickly to a GO stimulus but to cancel their responses when a STOP signal was presented, which occurred randomly in 25% of the trials. T...
Horse-race model simulations of the stop-signal procedure.
Acta psychologica    January 11, 2003   Volume 112, Issue 2 105-142 doi: 10.1016/s0001-6918(02)00079-3
Band GP, van der Molen MW, Logan GD.In the stop-signal paradigm, subjects perform a standard two-choice reaction task in which, occasionally and unpredictably, a stop-signal is presented requiring the inhibition of the response to the choice signal. The stop-signal paradigm has been successfully applied to assess the ability to inhibit under a wide range of experimental conditions and in various populations. The current study presents a set of evidence-based guidelines for using the stop-signal paradigm. The evidence was derived from a series of simulations aimed at (a) examining the effects of experimental design features on in...
