  • Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries

    Open AccessViktoria Cologna, Niels G Mede et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025Cited by: 7References: 76

    Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns with a preregistered 68-country survey of 71,922 respondents and found that in most countries, most p…

  • Emotion in motion

    Open AccessMatthew T Crawford, Christopher Maymon et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2024

    The ability to quickly and accurately recognise emotional states is adaptive for numerous social functions. Although body movements are a potentially crucial cue for inferring emotions, few studies have studied the perception of body movements made in naturalistic emotional states. The current research focuses on the use of body movement information in the perception of fear expressed by targets in a virtual heights paradigm. Across three studies…

  • Monetary and non-monetary rewards reduce attentional capture by emotional distractors

    Open AccessAmy T Walsh, David Carmel et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2021

    Irrelevant emotional stimuli often capture attention, disrupting ongoing cognitive processes. In two experiments, we examined whether availability of rewards (monetary and non-monetary) can prevent this attentional capture. Participants completed a central letter identification task while attempting to ignore negative, positive, and neutral distractor images that appeared above or below the targets on 25% of trials. Distraction was indexed by slo…

  • Contrasting reactive and proactive control of emotional distraction

    Gina M Grimshaw, John Kotcher et al.ARTICLEEmotion2017

    Attending to emotional stimuli is often beneficial, because they provide important social and environmental cues. Sometimes, however, current goals require that we ignore them. To what extent can we control emotional distraction? Here we show that the ability to ignore emotional distractions depends on the type of cognitive control that is engaged. Participants completed a simple perceptual task at fixation while irrelevant images appeared periph…
