  • Diametrically Opposed Entrances

    Open AccessAlex M Wood, Alex Wood et al.ARTICLEScottish Archaeological Journal2025

    Archaeological works at Weirston Road, Kilwinning, revealed prehistoric activity dating from the Neolithic to the Middle Iron Age. Iron Age settlement evidence includes numerous overlapping ring-groove structures with diametrically opposed entrances, representative of a regional roundhouse variant. While the Early to Middle Iron Age activity dominates the site, the finds assemblage includes Late Neolithic pottery and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze A…

  • The effect of journal metrics on academic resume assessment

    Open AccessCraig G Anderson, Ronald W Mcquaid et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 64

    It has been widely argued that journal metrics are used in assessing publication records on resumes for academic jobs and assessments. Within that debate, two important considerations emerge. Firstly, academics belonging to different career cohorts may have different experiences which are reflected in their recommendations related to targeting and assessing publication records. Secondly, recruitment or assessment expectations that include publish…

  • Inequality and Social Rank

    Open AccessEdika G Quispe-Torreblanca, Gordon D A Brown et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2021

    How do income and income inequality combine to influence subjective well-being? We examined the relation between income and life satisfaction in different societies, and found large effects of income inequality within a society on the relationship between individuals’ incomes and their life satisfaction. The income–satisfaction gradient is steeper in countries with more equal income distributions, such that the positive effect of a 10% increase i…

  • Hot Stone Technology at Bucklers Park, Crowthorne, Berkshire

    Open AccessHelen Chittock, Robert Masefield et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2021Referencias: 20

    Archaeological investigations at Bucklers Park in Crowthorne have revealed a window onto a significant later prehistoric place, which was used and revisited over 1700 years between the Early Bronze Age and later Iron Age (c. 1800–100 bc ). Activity on site was based around the heating of water using fire-heated flint, producing three mounds of fire-cracked flint and burnt organic material. These ‘burnt mounds’ are known across later prehistoric B…

  • How to Do a Systematic Review

    Andy P Siddaway, Alex M Wood et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Psychology2019

    Systematic reviews are characterized by a methodical and replicable methodology and presentation. They involve a comprehensive search to locate all relevant published and unpublished work on a subject; a systematic integration of search results; and a critique of the extent, nature, and quality of evidence in relation to a particular research question. The best reviews synthesize studies to draw broad theoretical conclusions about what a literatu…

  • Modeling bivariate change in individual differences

    Open AccessHilda Osafo Hounkpatin, Hilda Hounkpatin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2018Citada por: 5

    A number of structural equation models have been developed to examine change in 1 variable or the longitudinal association between 2 variables. The most common of these are the latent growth model, the autoregressive cross-lagged model, the autoregressive latent trajectory model, and the latent change score model. The authors first overview each of these models through evaluating their different assumptions surrounding the nature of change and ho…

  • Reconceptualizing Anxiety as a Continuum That Ranges From High Calmness to High Anxiety

    Open AccessAndy P Siddaway, Paul J Taylor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2017Citada por: 2Referencias: 2

    We first replicate a study by Vautier and Pohl (2009), who used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to reexamine the structure of anxiety. Using two large samples (N = 4,138 and 1,824), we also find that state and trait anxiety measure continua that range from high calmness to high anxiety. We then significantly extend previous findings and make the clinical importance of this topic more explicit by characterizing the (linear or nonlinear) f…

  • A rank based social norms model of how people judge their levels of drunkenness whilst intoxicated

    Open AccessSimon C Moore, Simon Moore et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Whilst intoxicated and in drinking environments, people base judgements regarding their drinking on how their level of intoxication ranks relative to that of others of the same gender around them, not on their actual levels of intoxication. Thus, when in the company of others who are intoxicated, drinkers were found to be more likely to underestimate their own level of drinking, drunkenness and associated risks. The implications of these results,…

  • When is received social support related to perceived support and well-being? When it is needed

    Open AccessKaren L Melrose, Gordon D A Brown et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Individual…2015

  • Students' concern about indebtedness

    Silvio Aldrovandi, Alex M Wood et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2015

    This paper describes a new model of students’ concern about indebtedness within a rank-based social norms framework. Study 1 found that students hold highly variable beliefs about how much other students will owe at the end of their degree. Students’ concern about their own anticipated debt—and their intention of taking on a part-time job during term time—was best predicted not by the size of the anticipated debt, but by how they, often incorrect…

  • Does income relate to health due to psychosocial or material factors? Consistent support for the psychosocial hypothesis requires operationalization with income rank not the Yitzhaki Index

  • An Existential-Humanistic View of Personality Change

    Open AccessHilda Osafo Hounkpatin, Hilda Hounkpatin et al.ARTICLESocial Indicators Research2015Citada por: 4Referencias: 53

    Increasingly, psychological research has indicated that an individual's personality changes across the lifespan. We aim to better understand personality change by examining if personality change is linked to striving towards fulfilment, as suggested by existential-humanistic theories of personality dynamics. Using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, a cohort of 4,733 mid-life individuals across 10 years, we show that personality change was signific…

  • Do Student Evaluations of University Reflect Inaccurate Beliefs or Actual Experience? A Relative Rank Model

    Open AccessGordon D A Brown, Alex M Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2014Citada por: 1Referencias: 5

    It was shown that student satisfaction ratings are influenced by context in ways that have important theoretical and practical implications. Using questions from the UK's National Student Survey, the study examined whether and how students' expressed satisfaction with issues such as feedback promptness and instructor enthusiasm depends on the context of comparison (such as possibly inaccurate beliefs about the feedback promptness or enthusiasm ex…

  • Evaluation of the CHUMS Child Bereavement Group

    Andy P Siddaway, Alex M Wood et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2014Referencias: 2

    This article describes the largest evaluation of a UK child bereavement service to date. Change was assessed using conventional statistical tests as well as clinical significance methodology. Consistent with the fact that the intervention was offered on a universal, preventative basis, bereaved young people experienced a statistically significant, small to medium-sized decrease in symptoms over time. This change was equivalent across child age an…

  • Money, Well-Being, and Loss Aversion

    Open AccessChristopher J Boyce, Alex M Wood et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2013

    Higher income is associated with greater well-being, but do income gains and losses affect well-being differently? Loss aversion, whereby losses loom larger than gains, is typically examined in relation to decisions about anticipated outcomes. Here, using subjective-well-being data from Germany (N = 28,723) and the United Kingdom (N = 20,570), we found that losses in income have a larger effect on well-being than equivalent income gains and that …

  • How Are Personality Judgments Made? A Cognitive Model of Reference Group Effects, Personality Scale Responses, and Behavioral Reactions

    Open AccessAlex M Wood, Gordon D A Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2012

    This article suggests that personality judgments are wholly relative, being the outcome of a comparison of a given individual to a reference group of others. The underlying comparison processes are the same as those used to judge psychophysical stimuli (as outlined by range frequency theory and decision by sampling accounts). Five experimental studies show that the same person's personality is rated differently depending on how his or her behavio…

  • Am I Abnormal? Relative Rank and Social Norm Effects in Judgments of Anxiety and Depression Symptom Severity

    Open AccessKaren L Melrose, Gordon D A Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2012Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    Overdetection and underdetection of depression and anxiety in primary care are common and may partly reflect individuals' misperceptions of the severity of symptoms they experience. Here, we explore how people's judgments about the severity of their own symptoms are influenced by their beliefs about the distribution of symptoms experienced by the rest of the population. We apply the rank‐based decision by sampling cognitive model of judgment to s…
