Technology, Affordances and Occupational Identity Amongst Older Telecommunications Engineers
This article explores the relationship between technology and occupational identity based on working-life biographical interviews with older telecommunications engineers. In the construction of their own working-life biographical narratives, participants attached great importance to the technology with which they worked. The article contends that workers' relationship with technology can be more nuanced than either the sociology of technology lit…
Foster carers’ reflective understandings of parenting looked after children
This study explores reflective functioning (RF) in foster carers using the Parent Development Interview. A mixed-methods design was employed in eliciting personal accounts of fostering by carers alongside an assessment of their RF. Results suggest that the carers displayed varying levels of RF and specifically that the elements of reflection that may be most salient for effective fostering – developmental, systemic and attachment-based thinking –…
Chewing gum moderates the vigilance decrement
We examine the impact of chewing gum on a Bakan-type vigilance task that requires the continual updating of short-term order memory. Forty participants completed a 30-min auditory Bakan-task either with, or without, the requirement to chew gum. Self-rated measures of mood were taken both pre- and post-task. As expected, the vigilance task produced a time-dependent performance decrement indexed via decreases in target detections and lengthened cor…

However, there has been little research examining whether this situation applies to foster carers. This study by Kate Morgan and Rachel Baron explores the relationship between looked after young people's behavioural difficulties and the s…
