Heterogeneity in students’ perceptions of teaching quality: A marker of adaptive teaching?
Students attending the same class can vary greatly in their perceptions of the teaching quality of the same lessons with the same teacher; however, the current understanding of heterogeneity in students’ perceptions of teaching quality, its sources, and implications remains limited. This study investigated whether heterogeneity in students' perceptions of teaching quality within classes may indicate that the teacher's instruction is not equally a…
Academic help-seeking interactions in the classroom: A microlongitudinal study
BackgroundHelp-seeking research has traditionally inferred behavioural responses to the need for help from post-hoc reflections and experiments outside of the classroom context.AimWe aimed to gain an ecologically valid understanding of the help-seeking process by examining the association between pupils' task-specific perceptions and their help-seeking interactions with teachers and peers during lessons.SampleParticipants were 290 pupils in Years…
Uncivil Mirth: Ridicule in Enlightenment Britain, by Ross Carroll
Historians have long been interested in the laughter of the past: the subjects that people saw fit to laugh at can provide a window into historical cultures like no other. In recent years, however, there has been growing attention to the act of laughing itself, how it has been understood in the past, and what its effects might have been. Ross Carroll’s book follows this line of inquiry, exploring debates in eighteenth-century Britain about the pr…
‘Plainly of Considerable Moment in Human Society’: Francis Hutcheson and Polite Laughter in Eighteenth-Century Britain and Ireland
This article focuses on Francis Hutcheson's Reflections Upon Laughter , which was originally published in 1725 as a series of three letters to The Dublin Journal during his time in the city. Although rarely considered a significant example of Hutcheson's published work, Reflections Upon Laughter has long been recognised in the philosophy of laughter as a foundational contribution to the ‘incongruity theory’ – one of the ‘big three’ theories of la…
Cold War Pavlov: Homosexual aversion therapy in the 1960s
Homosexual aversion therapy enjoyed two brief but intense periods of clinical experimentation: between 1950 and 1962 in Czechoslovakia, and between 1962 and 1975 in the British Commonwealth. The specific context of its emergence was the geopolitical polarization of the Cold War and a parallel polarization within psychological medicine between Pavlovian and Freudian paradigms. In 1949, the Pavlovian paradigm became the guiding doctrine in the Comm…
Early Modern Social Networks: Antecedents, Opportunities, and Challenges
This article reflects on the rising use of concepts, theories, and methodologies taken from social network analysis in early modern history, along with the opportunities and challenges it presents. Scholars have been quick to attribute the growing interest in historical social networks to movements for interdisciplinary research, new possibilities presented by digital technologies, and the prominence of the term “social network” in present-day cu…

Occasional Politeness and Gentlemen's Laughter in 18 Th C England
This article considers the intersection between polite manners and company in eighteenth-century England. Through the laughter of gentlemen, it makes a case for a concept of occasional politeness, which is intended to emphasize that polite comportment was only necessary on certain occasions. In particular, it was the level of familiarity shared by a company that determined what was considered appropriate. There was unease with laughter in polite …
The Spread of the Neolithic in the South East European Plain: Radiocarbon Chronology, Subsistence, and Environment
Newly available radiocarbon dates show the early signs of pottery-making in the North Caspian area, the Middle-Lower Volga, and the Lower Don at 8–7 kyr cal BC. Stable settlements, as indicated by “coeval subsamples,” are recognized in the Middle-Lower Volga (Yelshanian) at 6.8 kyr cal BC and the Caspian Lowland at about 6 kyr cal BC. The ages of the Strumel-Gostyatin, Surskian, and Bug-Dniesterian sites are in the range of 6.6–4.5 kyr BC, overla…

A Pan-European model of the Neolithic
We present a mathematical model, based on a compilation of radiocarbon dates, of the transition to the Neolithic, from about 7000 to 4000 BC in Europe. With the arrival of the Neolithic, hunting and food gathering gave way to agriculture and stock breeding in many parts of Europe; pottery-making spread into even broader areas. We use a population dynamics model to suggest the presence of two waves of advance, one from the Near East, and another t…
