The attentional cost of comparisons
The current work aimed to uncover the pattern of attention given to external comparison standards when engaged in social judgments. In a series of 5 experiments (N = 463), a Modified Spatial Cueing Task provided evidence for a general Comparison Induced Delay (CID), but found no signs of visuospatial attention (Pilot, Study 1 & 2). However, the CID did not occur if cues did not remain visually available throughout the trials (Study 3 & 4). Hetero…
A Multilab Replication of the Ego Depletion Effect
There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect is real. A recent preregistered experiment with the Stroop task as the depleting task and the antisaccade task as the outcome task found a medium-level effect size. In the current research, we conducted a preregistered multilab replication of that experiment. Data from 12 labs across the globe ( N = 1,775) revealed a small and significant ego depletion effect, d = 0.10. After ex…
Assessing the Removal of Regional Health Authorities in Ontario
A little more than a decade ago, a series of regional bodies were introduced throughout Ontario to help resolve difficulties with the province’s health care system. The Local Health Integration Networks, the name given to the new health entities, sought to create a connected set of health services and to achieve more effective control and distribution of health care finances. A third intent was to engage the community when setting priorities for …
Continuing the narrative turn in public administration research
The dynamic interactive pattern of assimilation and contrast
Social judgments are often influenced by comparison to some standard in the environment, either moving the judgment closer (assimilating) to or away (contrasting) from this standard. Which direction this effect will take depends heavily on the relative standing of these standards on the judgment dimension compared to the target of the judgment. In previous research, items and comparison standards were often selected arbitrarily, ignoring or simpl…
Deterritorialising the Research Space
Artistic research has in recent years concerned itself with the nature of practice and how this may be framed as research. These debates may have blinded us to a more fundamental concern: territorial claims to the research space made by other forces. Competition for access to material and human resources, funds, space, and infrastructural support, among others, drive debates about the academic status of performance within higher education. The ma…
A Tract for the Times
Ripon Minster
Whilst the exact plan of the original 12th-century church at Ripon can probably only be recovered by archaeological excavation, the evidence suggests that it may have had an eastern ambulatory and was intended to have high stone vaults in the choir and transepts. Substantial evidence for the roof framing of the north transept has been recognised within the core if its north-east turret. The original central tower was at least one storey higher th…

Medicare, Meech Lake, and the Federal Spending Power
In the spring of 1987, Canada's first ministers agreed to a package of proposals for reforming major elements of the country's constitution. The package, which has come to be known as the Meech Lake Accord, contains a number of significant provisions, one of which deals with the federal spending power and national shared-cost programs. This provision stipulates that the federal government must compensate provinces that decline to participate in f…
An Assessment of Ontario's Health Strategy
In 1987, the Ontario government introduced its new health strategy, which focuses on shifting the orientation of the province's health system away from hospital and physician care and towards a greater reliance on community-based services, health promotion, and disease prevention. The hope is that the strategy will increase the quality of care and, more important, limit health care expenditures. An analysis of the health strategy suggests, howeve…
The Canada Health Act and the cabinet decision‐making system of Pierre Elliott Trudeau
The cabinet decision‐making system of the last Trudeau government was the object of much criticism. The system purportedly frustrated individual ministers, relied excessively on central agencies, and made policy‐making difficult. Based on a study of the manner in which the federal government dealt with the issue of direct patient charges, this article argues that the failings of the Trudeau decision‐making system were exaggerated. Instead of bein…
Byland Abbey, North Yorkshire
Study of the architecture of the west front of the church at Byland Abbey shows that during its erection many changes of design were made. An enlargement of the central doorway caused the level of the galilee porch roof to be raised followed by a major revision to the design which involved the introduction of different buttresses. The three lancet windows were widened internally after their construction had begun while, at the same time, the head…
