Exploring critical incidents and post-traumatic stress among UK prison officers
Prison staff face regular exposure to potentially traumatic events, yet research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among UK prison officers has remained limited. A mixed-methods design comprising an online survey (study one) and semi-structured interviews (study two) explored traumatic stress within this population. The survey measured PTSD symptomology among 447 participants, and associations with demographic factors, critical incident ex…
Implementing a brief mentalisation-based intervention for foster carers and adoptive parents in a child and adolescent mental health service setting: Practitioner experiences
Examining the professional experiences of mental health and social care practitioners in real-world settings contributes to understanding best practice in intervention approaches designed to support foster carers and adoptive parents. Focusing on these experiences helps apprehend contextual considerations relating to intervention delivery, as well as mechanisms of intervention therapeutic action. Contributing to such work, this article reports fi…

The relationship between Stoic attitudes, resilience, and mental health
Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health disorders worldwide and are frequently characterized by maladaptive cognition such as worry, rumination and dysfunctional attitudes. However, good mental health is also dependent on positive factors, with self-efficacy, emotion regulation, resilience and wellbeing of increasing interest as targets for intervention. Concepts from Stoicism, a Greco-Roman philosophy, may have value for the pro…
Neglect and Behavior Problems in Early Childhood: A Test of Indirect Effects Through Emotion Knowledge
Neglected children are at-risk for behavior problems, although the processes by which such problems develop are poorly understood. We examined whether Emotion Knowledge (EK) mediated the relationship between neglect and young children's behavior problems. In a community sample (N = 127), neglect history was assessed at 4.0 years using Child Protective Services records (44% neglected); at 4.5 years children completed an EK assessment (expression r…
Improving Systems for Processing Public Finds: Digital Technology and Citizen Science
This article concerns opportunities for improving systems for processing public finds through digital technology and citizen science, taking England, Estonia, and Finland as case studies. These three countries have differing legislation, but all face a significant growth in hobby metal detecting and consequent increase in archaeological finds being reported, which places pressure on existing resources for recording them. While archaeologists in t…

Rethinking the uncanny valley as a moderated linear function: Perceptual specialization increases the uncanniness of facial distortions
The relationship between artificial entities’ human likeness and aesthetic preference is thought to be best modelled by an N-shaped cubic “uncanny valley” function, which however suffers from conceptual criticisms and lack of parsimony. Here it is argued that uncanniness effects may instead be modelled by a linear function of deviation moderated by perceptual specialization. The two models are compared in an experiment with five incrementally dis…
Potential Sources of Moral Injury for Healthcare Workers in Forensic and Psychiatric Settings: A Systematic Review and Meta-ethnography
The current research examines potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) faced by healthcare professionals working in forensic and psychiatric environments. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles reporting on sources of moral injury or similar concepts (e.g., moral distress) for healthcare workers in such settings. Thirty articles were included and analyzed using a meta-ethnographic approach. Synthesis y…
Palette, Pigments and Pictorial Narrative in 11th-Century England: The Use of Colour in the Bayeux Tapestry and the Old English Hexateuch
This article examines how colour was used as a tool of pictorial narrative in the Bayeux Tapestry and the illustrated Old English Hexateuch, the two longest such cycles to survive from 11th-century England. The dyes employed for the former and the pigments of the latter are identified; the palettes that they permitted their respective artists to realize are set out; the colouring of cognate scenes are compared; and the general principles (such as…
Consultation to Adoptive Parents and Adoption Professionals in Child and Adolescent Mental Health: Findings From a Quality Improvement Project Analysis
The mental health vulnerability of children and young people in foster and adoptive families is well recognised, which has led to the development of dedicated posts and care pathways in mental health care provision. This article reports on learning resulting from local quality improvement work in a single child and adolescent mental health service team. This work was concerned with the ‘front door’ of access to care for these groups and specifica…
Legal Definitions as a Cornerstone for Protecting ‘Archaeological Finds’
Developing a group-based psychoeducation intervention for adoptive parents and foster carers in a specialist child and adolescent mental health service setting
Children and young people in foster and adoptive families are considered more vulnerable to a high level of mental health need when compared to peers who are not care-experienced or adopted. Acceptance of this view amongst clinical providers and policy makers has necessitated the development of specialist provision and dedicated care pathways within child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHSs). In this provision, practitioner-initiated qu…
Defining and identifying potentially morally injurious experiences for secure mental healthcare workers: A Delphi study
Purpose Staff in secure mental health-care settings face unique occupational challenges that may conflict with their personal or professional moral code. Initial research has established the presence of moral injury in this population, though insight into the specific sources and driving factors at the root of this syndrome is limited. The purpose of this study was to identify potentially morally injurious events and associated risk factors for s…
Hobby Metal-detecting as Citizen Science. Background, Challenges and Opportunities of Collaborative Archeological Finds Recording Schemes
This paper discusses five digital archeological finds recording schemes from England and Wales, Denmark, Finland, Flanders (Belgium), and the Netherlands; countries and areas where members of the public can search for archeological material, usually by metal-detecting. These schemes are a part of the European Public Finds Recording Network. The authors argue that citizen science approaches to recording discoveries made by the public present impor…
Remote and Digitally Delivered Mental Health Support for Care-Experienced Young People: Some Practice-Based Reflections in Response to Cummings (2023)
In a recent contribution to this journal, Cummings (2023) reports findings from a preliminary qualitative study of practitioner viewpoints regarding digitally delivered mental health support to care-experienced young people. Cummings’ study highlights the need to engage with professional experiences of using digital methods with this group, both during and outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. A response to - and commentary on – Cummings’ contributio…
Evaluating Transformations in Small Metal Finds Following the Black Death
THIS PAPER SEEKS to evaluate transformations in portable material culture following the Black Death in England (1348–1349), specifically through an analysis of small metal finds data recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS). It will discuss the use of Geographic Information Systems and other computational methods in archaeological research, and apply this to compare and contrast PAS data against that from excavated urban sites. The imp…
Philosophy, Biopolitics, and the Virus: The Elision of an Alternative
Every aspect of the pandemic was said to be 'total,' absolute, and undiscriminating. Its very name implied as much. The virus was everywhere, and a threat to us all. In Philosophy, Biopolitics, and the Virus: The Elision of an Alternative, Michael Lewis identifies three moments within the pandemic that were conceived in such a monolithic way: (1) 'The Science,' which had to be unanimous if it was to assume a sovereign role, and to have us 'follow…
The South Carolina Commission and the Creation of Saskatchewan’s Liquor Dispensary, 1915
In 1915, responding to significant prohibitionist agitation, the provincial government of Saskatchewan abolished private liquor sales and replaced them with a system of government-run dispensaries. Prior to Saskatchewan’s adoption of a state liquor dispensary system, the model had been tried only once on such a scale in North America, in South Carolina, which abandoned it in 1907. Drawing on the details of Saskatchewan’s commission that investiga…
Metal-Detecting Rallies: Characterizing the Phenomenon, Understanding the Challenges, and Identifying Strategies for Heritage Protection
Hobby metal detectorists search for archaeological finds as individuals and within groups, the latter being the focus of this article. Such groups come together as “clubs” and “meetings,” but also as part of large, often commercially run events typically known as “rallies.” All these activities are attractive to detectorists because they provide them with access to land to search, along with the promise of making interesting (even valuable) disco…
Animal Abuse Proclivity Among Women: Exploring Callousness, Sadism, and Psychopathy Traits
Two studies examining adult women are presented. The first (n = 162) examines the relationship between proclivity (i.e. interest in, predisposition) to abuse animals and the link to aggression motivation, with psychopathy traits, sadism and general maladaptive personality explored. The second study (n = 159) extended to focus on callous-unemotional traits. We predicted that proclivity to abuse would be associated with increased proactive aggressi…
The Development of Disgust and Its Relationship to Adolescent Psychosocial Functioning
From Pharmacies to Liquor Dispensaries in the US South, 1893–1907: Thinking through One Adaptation of the Gothenburg System
This article explores the political and social factors behind the adoption of liquor dispensaries in the US South between 1893 and 1907. This wave of state and municipal liquor stores emphasized off-site consumption, a feature that was relatively unique for the time period. Once southern political leaders found that prohibition did little to prohibit the saloon and not wanting to see its return, they sought a middle ground. I argue that it was th…
Evidence for a winter-snowpack derived water source for the Fremont maize farmers of Range Creek Canyon, Utah, USA
We present results of multiproxy analysis of a sediment core collected from Billy Slope Meadow, a spring-fed wet meadow in Range Creek Canyon, Utah. Range Creek Canyon was the home to Fremont maize farmers between roughly 1200 and 800 cal BP (AD 750–1150). Stable carbon isotope analysis of core sediments from Billy Slope Meadow indicate the Billy Slope Meadow site was used as a field for maize agriculture during that time. Some scholars have sugg…

Deception in 3-year-olds
Children's ability to deceive was examined in order to determine whether they are able to hide their emotional expression intentionally. Three-year-oids were instructed not to peek at a toy while the experimenter left the room. When asked, the great majority either denied that they peeked or would not answer the question. Facial and bodily activity did not differentiate the deceivers from the truth tellers. Boys were more likely than girls to adm…
The transition from middle childhood to early adolescence: Sex differences in the social network and perceived self-competence
Adjustment following sexual abuse discovery: The role of shame and attributional style
This study examined adjustment following sexual abuse as a function of shame and attributional style. One hundred forty-seven participants (83 children and 64 adolescents) were seen at the time of abuse discovery and again 1 year later. Once adjustment at abuse discovery was accounted for, shame and attribution style explained additional variation in subsequent adjustment, whereas abuse severity did not. A pessimistic attribution style at abuse d…
Political Volunteering From Late Adolescence to Young Adulthood: Patterns and Predictors
Political and general volunteering were characterized in late adolescence and young adulthood and related to predictive factors from infancy, childhood, and adolescence. One hundred five White participants (48 boys) completed measures of their volunteer involvement at 18 and 21 years of age. In addition, cognitive, social, adjustment, stress, and family data were collected from infancy through adolescence. Results indicated that most adolescents …

Environmental risk, biological risk, and developmental outcome
The impact of 2 environmental and 2 biological risk measures was studied in 175 preterm children. Levels of family risk, which included family composition, support, and interaction variables, and social class, as well as increases or decreases in family risk over the 1st year of life, were examined with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and other neonatal medical complications as predictors of cognitive and motor outcomes in the 2nd year of life.…
Towards a Cooperative Approach to Hobby Metal Detecting: The European Public Finds Recording Network (EPFRN) Vision Statement
Hobby metal detecting is a controversial subject. Legal and policy approaches differ widely across national and regional contexts, and the attitudes of archaeologists and heritage professionals towards detectorists are often polarized and based on ethical or emotive arguments. We, the European Public Finds Recording Network (EPFRN), have implemented collaborative approaches towards detectorist communities in our respective contexts (Denmark, Engl…
Mothers and toddlers lunch together. The relation between observed and reported behavior
Many factors are acknowledged as contributing to the current childhood obesity crisis, with the role of parenting style having recently come under scrutiny as researchers have begun to apply behavioral concepts like control and permissiveness to the context of feeding. In the present study, 20 mothers (10 overweight, 10 normal weight) and their 2-year-old offspring were observed eating a lunch under laboratory conditions. Mothers additionally pro…
Children's intellectual and emotional-behavioral adjustment at 4 years as a function of cocaine exposure, maternal characteristics, and environmental risk
The authors examined 223 children at age 4 years for the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, exposure to other substances, maternal and environmental risk factors, and neonatal medical problems on IQ, externalizing problems, and internalizing problems. Regression analyses showed that maternal verbal IQ and low environmental risk predicted child IQ. Cocaine exposure negatively predicted children's overall IQ and verbal reasoning scores, but only…

A Detectorist’s Utopia? Archaeology and Metal-Detecting in England and Wales
Archaeologists in England and Wales have a long tradition of liaising with metal-detectorists, particularly following the reform of Treasure law and advent of the Portable Antiquities Scheme - a project to record archaeological finds discovered by the public. Although this process of dialogue has been seen by most as productive and mutually beneficial, there still remain issues that divide archaeologists and detectorists. This paper will highligh…
Arousal modulation in cocaine-exposed infants
The ability to modulate arousal is a critical skill with wide-ranging implications for development.In this study, the authors examined arousal regulation as a function of levels of prenatal cocaine exposure in 107 infants at 4 months of age using a "still-face" procedure.Facial expressions were coded.A greater percentage of heavily cocaine-exposed infants, compared with those who were unexposed to cocaine, showed less enjoyment during en face pla…
Effects of birth order and spacing on mother–infant interactions
Early differences in mother-infant interaction were examined as a function of infant birth order and birth spacing. One hundred ninety-three 3-monthold infants and their mothers were observed in the home for a 2-hour period during which a wide variety of mother and infant behaviors were recorded. Birth-order effects were significant, with firstborns generally receiving and emitting behavior more frequently than later borns. Birth-spacing effects …
Learning and emotional responsivity in cocaine-exposed infants
This study examined both instrumental responses and facial expressions during learning and extinction in a group of cocaine-exposed infants ages 4 to 8 months. Of the 72 infants studied, half were exposed to cocaine in utero and halfserved as matched controls. The groups were matched on maternal demographic characteristics and maternal use of other substances. Findings indicated that (a) infants exposed to cocaine had a significant decrease in me…
The child's social network: Sex differences from three to six years
Compensatory education and social justice
In past generations, as today, it is true that world is in chaos. Our own country faces the most menacing social and economic problems it has ever known. Where can it look for salvation?... Certainly we can hope to do nothing to stave off the collapse of Western civilization if we remain absorbed in the frivolous and irrelevant occupations that consume the attention of many scholars and many faculties.1
Franchise Relocation and Fan Allegiance
This article examines how the fans of four sports teams reacted when their favorite team relocated to another city: the Houston Oilers to Nashville, the Quebec Nordiques to Denver, the Hartford Whalers to Raleigh, and the Winnipeg Jets to Phoenix. Drawing on conversations among fans of these teams on Web sites, it was found that, despite the differences in sports, teams, and cities across these four franchises, the people studied expressed simila…
Violation of expectancy and frustration in early infancy
This study examines infant instrumental responses during learning and extinction and whether this responses are related to individual differences in temperament as reported by mothers. To explore this problem, a cross-sectional design examining behavioral responding to extinction was initiated. Thre questions were asked: 1) Does a brief period of nonreward following consistent reward lead to an increase in the learned response? 2) Is age an impor…
The Increasing Significance of Class: The Relative Effects of Race and Socioeconomic Status on Academic Achievement
Previous researchers have found that, on average, African American students don't perform as well in school as their white counterparts. Another frequent finding is that the higher a student's socioeconomic status the higher her or his educational achievement. However, there has been little attention paid to how race and socioeconomic status interact to affect educational achievement. Using a nationally representative sample from the National Edu…
Cross-age stability in emotional expressions during learning and extinction
Three groups of infants who initially learned an arm-pull contingency at 2, 4, or 6 months of age were seen again in the same procedure 2 months later. Correlational analysis across a 2-month period for each group indicated that individual differences in emotional expressions were stable during learning and extinction. Specifically, anger during extinction and interest and enjoyment during learning were stable over a 2-month interval. Repeated ex…

Potential Pitfalls of Pollen Dating
Pollen extracted from ocean and wetland sediments cored from the eastern Canadian Margin, James Bay region, and Atlantic provinces of Canada have been radiocarbon dated and results are reported here. Pollen dates from ocean sediments were compared with marine carbonate (mollusk shells or foraminifera) dates from the same core levels, dates for which validity was assessed via correlations with other cores, and for which reworking has been excluded…
The Law of Aerial Bombardment in the 1991 Gulf War
I shall often go wrong through defect of judgment. When right, I shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the whole ground. I ask your indulgence for my own errors, which will never be intentional, and your support against the errors of others, who may condemn what they would not if seen in all its parts. —Thomas Jefferson On August 2,1990, Iraqi forces invaded and occupied Kuwait, beginning a seven-monthlo…

Effect of Effort on Choice: Value of a Secondary Reinforcer
The present experiment tests the hypothesis that a secondary reinforcer associated with high effort would be preferred to the same secondary reinforcer with low effort. Preference was measured by (a) S's choice in a T-maze and (b) time spent in the presence of the secondary reinforcet. Each of 40 animals experienced both high and low effort conditions associated with either a vertical or a horizontal striped area. Half of the Ss experienced high …

Play Behavior in the Year-Old Infant: Early Sex Differences
The purpose of this study was to determine if sex differences were observable in I-year-olds in response to their mother and in choice and style of play with toys. Thirty-two boys and thirty-two girls were put in separate rooms with several toys, several nontoys (door knobs, taped sockets, etc.) and their mothers. The infant's mother was to observe the child in play and respond as she desired. Observation was conducted from another room. Earlier …

Relevant Training for Relevant Roles: A Model for Educating Inner-City Counselors
The inner-city counselor is expected to enter into his role with an understanding of his students and their culture, as well as with a knowledge of the processes of social change and his own potential contribution. Present programs of counselor education do not tend to provide the basis for development of these wide-ranging skills. It is suggested that counselor education should place potential counselors in public school settings working in team…
Family Organization, Interaction and Ritual: A Cross-Cultural Study in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany and Ireland
The role of family rituals in maintaining kin relationships is examined in four sodieies which vary in their degree of modernity. Preliminary results show a slightly higher frequency of ritual interaction and visits with kin, particularly over Christmas, in the more modern societies. This appears to contradict Durkheim's law of contraction but further analysis of the data is needed before firm conclusion can be drawn
