Intolerance of uncertainty and its impact on university students’ confidence, awareness and experience with employer selection tests
Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is a disposition typified by negative reactions to uncertainty and may influence how university students engage with career development opportunities. IU can be ‘Prospective’ or ‘Inhibitory’. Prospective IU is characterised by a ‘desire for predictability’, whilst Inhibitory IU is characterised by inaction due to ‘uncertainty paralysis’. In this study, we surveyed 568 students to examine whether Inhibitory and Pros…
Attribute Conditioning is insensitive to cue competition and is not predicted by the Big Five Personality Traits
When a neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus denoting an attribute, the neutral stimulus inherits that attribute (i.e., Attribute Conditioning; AC). The current experiments examined whether this effect is sensitive to cue competition, specifically blocking (Experiment 1, n = 245) and overshadowing (Experiment 2, n = 213), and whether personality traits can predict this effect ( n = 458). Participants were shown cartoon images of people (CSs)…
Who is experiencing faculty/staff–student sexual misconduct in UK higher education
Sexual misconduct perpetrated by staff/faculty in higher education towards students remains underexplored compared to perpetration by peers. The article examines the types of sexual misconduct students in UK higher education experience from staff and differences in experience across groups, drawing on findings from a non-representative survey of students in UK higher education (n=1,768). It opens up a methodological discussion around measuring po…
Adapting in times of crisis
Gambling marketing on social media in countries like Great Britain (GB) is relatively well understood. Little is known, however, about how such marketing is impacted by major changes to the gambling landscape, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we assessed changes in the frequency, sentiment, and content of gambling marketing on Twitter by Great Britain (GB) gambling operators and affiliates. We analysed n = 353,134 tweets from 10 operators and af…
Is England’s Office for Students likely to falsely identify courses as below threshold on the B3 progression metric
Rising inflation and slow growth globally have led to governments focussing on value for money, and in the sphere of higher education policy that is often translated into graduate outcomes. In England, the Office for Students (OfS) has created the progression metric which for full-time, first degree and UK domiciled students requires courses to have 60% of graduates with positive outcomes 15 months after graduation. This paper utilises simulation…

Surveying ‘Dating Violence’ and Stalking Victimisation among Students at an English University
Domestic abuse and stalking in higher education (HE) have been overlooked in research in comparison to sexual harassment and sexual violence. This article reports on survey data from 725 students at an English university using measures of stalking and ‘dating violence’—physical and psychological violence from an intimate partner—from a US survey instrument (the Administrator Researcher Campus Climate Collaborative (ARC3) survey). According to thi…
Governments harnessing the power of data to get 'value for money
The mass participation in higher education has led to greater spending by governments and students which has increased the focus on graduate outcomes. In England, the Office for Students (OfS) is planning to take regulatory action, using the Proceed metric, against universities and their courses which do not have 60% of students with positive outcomes within 15 months of graduation. This study uses simulations to explore how effectively the Proce…
Evaluating the efficacy of embedding employability into a second-year undergraduate module
Employability is a primary concern for many students who face a competitive job market in the aftermath of COVID-19. It is also a pressing concern for universities with governments increasing pressure on universities to deliver courses that bring value for money to the students whilst also positively contributing to the economy. To address these demands some universities and courses have embedded employability within their degree (embedded approa…
How well are students engaging with the careers services at university
Employability is a key concern for students and it is of increasing importance to universities with the inclusion of employability outcomes affecting performance in league tables and in the Teaching Excellence Framework. Universities typically teach employability either by embedding it within a course curriculum (embedded approach) or via the career services (parallel approach). This article explores the ratio of United Kingdom (UK) psychology de…
Falling at the first hurdle
Making the transition from university to employment is a challenging process for many students. One common method used by recruiters to sift through graduate applications is the use of psychometric tests which typically consist of numerical and verbal reasoning tasks. To explore how frequently these tests are used by graduate employers, an audit of the Times Top 100 graduate schemes selection processes was conducted. To identify how well-prepared…
Repeated leak detection and repair surveys reduce methane emissions over scale of years
Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas industry is a critical climate action policy tool in Canada and the US. Optical gas imaging-based leak detection and repair (LDAR) surveys are commonly used to address fugitive methane emissions or leaks. Despite widespread use, there is little empirical measurement of the effectiveness of LDAR programs at reducing long-term leakage, especially over the scale of months to years. In this study, we me…
