Measuring Sexual Preference With Mouse Tracking and Machine Learning
Various methods have been proposed to measure a person’s sexual preference, but most of these methods have not been evaluated on a yet unseen sample of participants. We examine here the importance of using an unseen sample with the recently introduced mouse tracking method, which has been previously shown to produce reliable group differences in trajectories. To this end, we applied machine learning on data from a mouse tracking task with 52 self…
Eyes don't lie
Past research has suggested that eye movements can be used to uncover perpetrators of a crime to some extent (around 65 % accuracy). We extended this work to examine whether similar or better results could be obtained for eyewitnesses by employing a data-driven eye-tracking approach. We expect that participants who saw the crime before: (1) look more at where the crime happened, (2) differ in the frame-by-frame viewing location, and (3) differ in…
The construct validity of attitudes toward sex offenders ( ATS ) scale
Negative attitudes toward offenders may hinder the rehabilitation process. The present study examines the relationship between attitudes toward sex offenders and stated acceptance of offenders and non‐offenders into various aspects of daily life. Sixty female members of the public (18–50 years old, UK residents, recruited by word of mouth and via social media) completed an attitudes towards sex offenders (ATS) scale and indicated for each of eigh…
Examining Burglary Scripts in Community-Based Samples
Burglary is a high-volume and frequently repeated offense. However, little is known about the cognitive scripts that may facilitate first-time burglaries. Thus, this paper reports three studies that examined burglary scripts within community participants. Study 1 (N = 113) involved developing two versions of a Burglary Script Assessment; one that assesses burglary scripts with different motivations and one that does not stipulate a specific motiv…
New Psychoactive Substances and Violence within a UK Prison Setting
Background and aims: New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) have affected prison populations, threatening the safety of prisoners and staff. We investigated the prevalence of substance use within a prison in the United Kingdom, focusing on NPS and its links with violence and impulsivity. Method: Cross-sectional questionnaire of 158 male category C prisoners with a mean age of 34.82 years (SD = 8.78). During their current sentence, 23% reported NPS use…
