Evaluating image modification as a harm reduction approach in content moderation
Content moderators are repeatedly exposed to disturbing material, leaving them susceptible to harm, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Currently, social media platforms such as Facebook allow moderators to modify (i.e., blur or greyscale) the visual features of images to mitigate the potential impact of the material. However, there is little empirical basis for this intervention. Therefore, we examined whether viewing distu…
Non‐negligible levels of implicit skin tone bias among Australian healthcare workers between 2007 and 2022
Implicit (i.e. unconscious) racial biases held by health professionals negatively affect patient–practitioner communication and health outcomes. Implicit biases are typically assessed through implicit association tests (IATs). We extracted cross‐sectional IAT data originating in Australia from two large publicly available data sets hosted by Project Implicit . In total, IATs were available from 1956 healthcare workers (1249 of European ethnicity;…

Complex cognitions are involved in professing to love animals whilst eating them – the “meat paradox.” Meat-related cognitive dissonance varies depending upon the self-identified gender of the individual, with women more likely to report more negative affect and more likely to express a desire to reduce meat consumption than men. In this study, we investigated possible reasons for why gender effects are observed. We hypothesized that there may be…
