Guidelines for reporting research using systematic coding of observed human behaviour (SCOBe)
Systematic coding of observed human behaviour (SCOBe) is used across disciplines and topics but methodological reporting is often incomplete. We developed internationally generated, interdisciplinary guidelines for methodological reporting of such research. Using Delphi methodology, a working group of 22 experts sought group consensus in three rounds. Participants first assessed an initial set of reporting criteria (round 1). Next, in interactive…
Content creators’ hopes and fears about artificial intelligence
Users and regulators alike recognise the need for public consultation around new developments in artificial intelligence (AI). However, most consultations reflect economic or political concerns and tend to focus on Generative AI (GenAI) impacts on the traditional workforce, excluding gig economy workers in general and content creators in particular. In this two-stage study, we firstly report qualitative findings from a survey of 100 content creat…

Opportunities to synchronise and date archaeological and climate records in Northwest Africa using volcanic ash (tephra) layers
Archaeological sites in Northwest Africa are rich in human fossils and artefacts providing proxies for behavioural and evolutionary studies. However, these records are difficult to underpin on a precise chronology, which can prevent robust assessments of the drivers of cultural/behavioural transitions. Past investigations have revealed that numerous volcanic ash (tephra) layers are interbedded within the Palaeolithic sequences and likely originat…
Pyrethrum and the Second World War
Historians have long recognised that DDT’s fame began with extraordinary propaganda late in the Second World War, yet heroic narratives that centre the chemical still shape historical understanding. Two false assumptions inform much of the existing scholarship on wartime insect control: one is that without DDT the Allies had no protection from malaria and typhus; the other is that DDT was significantly more toxic than any alternative insecticide …
Conceptualizing consciousness
One of the most promising theories of consciousness currently available is higher-order thought (“HOT”) theory, according to which consciousness consists in having suitable HOTs regarding one’s mental life. But critiques of HOT theory abound. Here, we explore three recent objections to the theory, which we argue at bottom founder for the same reason. While many theorists today assume that consciousness is a feature of the actually existing mental…
Information seeking, personal experiences, and their association with Covid-19 risk perceptions
The impacts of COVID-19 are not evenly distributed in society. Understanding demographic and occupational differences in personal experiences and information seeking and how these shape perceptions of COVID-19 related risk may help to improve the effectiveness of public health strategies in the future. We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 496 participants during the first UK lockdown, in May 2020. We recorded data to assess people’s …
Understanding the Higher-Order Approach to Consciousness
The higher-order theory (HOT) of consciousness has often been misunderstood by critics. Here, we clarify its position on several issues, and distinguish it from other views, such as the global workspace theory (GWT) and early sensory models (e.g., first-order local recurrency theories). For example, HOT has been criticized for overintellectualizing consciousness. We show that, while higher-order states are cognitively assembled, the requirements …

Impact of free access to leisure facilities and community outreach on inequalities in physical activity
BACKGROUND: There are large inequalities in levels of physical activity in the UK, and this is an important determinant of health inequalities. Little is known about the effectiveness of community-wide interventions to increase physical activity and whether effects differ by socioeconomic group. METHODS: We conducted interrupted time series and difference-in-differences analyses using local administrative data and a large national survey to inves…
A higher-order theory of emotional consciousness
Significance Although emotions, or feelings, are the most significant events in our lives, there has been relatively little contact between theories of emotion and emerging theories of consciousness in cognitive science. In this paper we challenge the conventional view, which argues that emotions are innately programmed in subcortical circuits, and propose instead that emotions are higher-order states instantiated in cortical circuits. What diffe…
Primary Care Physicians’ Beliefs and Practices Regarding E-Cigarette Use by Patients Who Smoke
We explored primary care physicians' (PCPs') beliefs and practices about e-cigarettes. Cross-sectional, semi-structured interviews with PCPs in 2014 were conducted and audio-recorded. Participants were 15 general internal and family medicine physicians practicing in two settings in Virginia, USA. Interview recordings were transcribed, and the content analyzed using the Constant Comparative Method to identify key themes regarding PCPs' reported cu…

Can consultation skills training change doctors' behaviour to increase involvement of patients in making decisions about standard treatment and clinical trials
BACKGROUND: Informed consent is required for both standard cancer treatments and experimental cancer treatments in a clinical trial. Effective and sensitive physician-patient communication about informed consent is difficult to achieve. Our aim was to train doctors in clear, collaborative and ethical communication about informed consent and evaluate the impact of training on doctor behaviour, stress and satisfaction. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Par…

Sharing decisions in breast cancer care
BACKGROUND: Shared Decision Making (SDM) is widely accepted as the preferred method for reaching treatment decisions in the oncology setting including those about clinical trial participation: however, there is some disagreement between researchers over the components of SDM. Specific standardized coding systems are needed to help overcome this difficulty. OBJECTIVE: The first objective was to describe the development of an oncology specific SDM …

Passages in the Life of a White Anthropologist
The period following the world slump saw increased British official interest in applying the new science of social anthropology to colonial problems. This paper looks at the eight years (1939–47) during which the distinguished South African anthropologist, Max Gluckman, held the post of Assistant Anthropologist and later Director at the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute, Northern Rhodesia, and carried out field research among the Lozi of Barotseland. …
Work, Employment and Society
Work, Employment and Society is the second journal to be published by the British Sociological Association. It appears for the first time almost exactly twenty years after the publication of the first issue of Sociology. At that time Banks pointed out that part of the impetus for the establishment of the Association's own journal was the recognition that it 'could be an instrument for the propagation of satisfactory scholarly standards in the dis…
Social Relations and Social Perspectives amongst Shipbuilding Workers-A Preliminary Statement
This paper examines the community situation of shipyard workers on Tyneside, certain aspects of their orientations to work and general social perspectives, and the relationship of these to each other and to the structure of social relations at work. In terms of their community situation shipyard workers would seem to come close to Lockwood's traditional proletarian type of worker. There is evidence to suggest, however, that these workers' social …

Understanding reactions to feedback by integrating ideas from symbolic interactionism and cognitive evaluation theory
The first 2 experiments examined how interpersonal and objective feedback influenced targets' perceptions of performance, ability, and effort. Interpersonal feedback was more influential when objective feedback was intermediate than when it was high or low. Path analyses indicated that reflected appraisals entirely mediated influences of interpersonal feedback on self-perceptions and partially mediated influences of objective feedback on self-per…

The auditory sensitivity of the Lemur
A single‐lever shock avoidance conditioning technique was used to generate auditory behavioral thresholds for Lemur catta over the frequency range 100 Hz to 75 kHz. The results indicate a sensitivity of at least 60 dB below one dyne/cm 2 from 1 kHz to 32 kHz and, throughout the entire frequency range, appear to be compatible with other available prosimian data. A contrast between anthropoids and prosimians indicates a loss in high frequency sensi…
Social Drinking Patterns of the Yankton Sioux

Why Don't They Revolt? 'Invisible Income' as a Neglected Dimension of Runciman's Relative Deprivation Thesis
This article reopens a currently unfashionable sociological concern. Increasingly available evidence testifying to the existence of various forms of 'fiddling', and to the size of the thus manufactured 'hidden economy', is used to suggest a novel answer to the old question: why do the low-paid acquiesce in an inegalitarian income structure? It is suggested that the 'invisible income ' individuals receive from their part in the 'hidden economy' cr…

Theory and Practice of Regulatory Enforcement
Data about the activities of occupational health and safety officials in British Columbia is utilized to explore competing explanations for the overwhelming prevalence of persuasion over punishment in regulatory enforcement. By plotting the compliance histories of individual firms, this study demonstrates that many offenders repeatedly commit the same infraction. Few of these repeat offenders are punished. These findings suggest that the very lim…

A Matter of Facts
Program evaluation as an institutional commitment of state legislatures is a recent phenomenon. It is justified as a logical extension of legislative law-making and fiscal control prerogatives. It is, in fact, one reasonable way to close the gap between program decision making, program execution, and program revision. Legislative evaluation, however, is a departure from the traditional concern of public administration with the executive and, as s…
