What Is the Measure of a Man? A Systematic Scoping Review of 50 Years of Masculinities Scales
The dominant conceptual narrative in research on and measurement of masculinities has emphasized that greater adherence to traditional masculine norms is associated with a range of harmful outcomes. The primacy of this deficit-focused may have shaped the development of measures of masculinities in ways that underrepresent adaptive, relational, or health-promoting dimensions of masculine identity, even as it remains an open empirical question whet…
Latent profiles of masculine norm adherence among U.S. and U.K. fathers
Traditional masculine norms shape the well-being of fathers and how they care for their children. This study used latent profile analysis to identify distinct configurations of these masculine norms. The sample consisted of 740 fathers (Mage = 40.00 years, SD = 7.83 years) of mostly White (68%), Black (18%), or Asian ethnicity (5%), with children aged 5–12 years. The latent profile analysis revealed four distinct configurations of traditional mas…
Metacognitive beliefs predict test anxiety and examination performance
Test anxiety is common among university students and impairs examination performance. Existing interventions for test anxiety are not particularly effective. Prior to developing an effective intervention, the key psychological beliefs that predict test anxiety need to be identified. Two transdiagnostic models, the intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) models, propose different beliefs that result in emotio…
Assessing metacognitive beliefs in test anxiety
The Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) measures maladaptive metacognitive beliefs considered central to the metacognitive model of psychopathology. However, the psychometric properties of the MCQ-30 in test anxiety (TA) among university students are unknown. This study examined the MCQ-30 factor structure and concurrent validity in both trait and state TA. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses support the previously established five-…
‘I Don't Like Uncertainty, I Like to Know’
BACKGROUND: Technological advances have led to cancer prognostication that is increasingly accurate but often unalterable. However, a reliable prognosis of limited life expectancy can cause psychological distress. People should carefully consider offers of prognostication, but little is known about how and why they decide on prognostication. Using uveal melanoma (UM) patients, we aimed to identify (i) how and why do people with UM decide to accep…
Testing times
Both intolerance of uncertainty and metacognitive beliefs are linked to test anxiety, but results suggest metacognitive beliefs have more explanatory utility, providing greater support for the S-REF model. Modification of intolerance of uncertainty and metacognitive beliefs could alleviate test anxiety and help students fulfil their academic potential

The Role of Pre-letting in Office Property Development in the UK
The paper reports on research on the role of pre-letting within office property development in the UK. Pre-letting is defined legally and the causes and consequences of pre-letting are examined. Pre-letting is discussed from the perspectives of risk, marketing, the occupiers' view and the property cycle. Senior executives from property development companies and occupier organizations were interviewed. Three detailed case studies are reported. Bef…
Does CCTV displace crime
Crime displacement is a concern often raised regarding situational crime prevention measures. A national evaluation of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) has provided an interesting test-bed for displacement research. A number of methods have been used to investigate displacement, in particular visualization techniques making use of geographical information systems (GIS) have been introduced to the identification of spatial displacement. Re…
The Hawthorne Effect
The Panopticon's Changing Geography
Over the past two centuries, surveillance technology has advanced in three major spurts. In the first instance the surveillance instrument was a specially designed building, Bentham's Panopticon; in the second, a tightly controlled television network, Orwell's Big Brother; today, an electronic human‐tracking service. Functionally, each technology provided total surveillance within the confines of its designated geographical coverage, but costs, g…

The Failures of Economic Development Incentives
Amidst the continuing controversy over American economic development incentives, this article looks at three key effectiveness issues: Do economic development incentives encourage new investment and employment? Are these incentives targeted at economically depressed areas or economically depressed people? How costly are these incentives? For all these questions, our findings come out against traditional economic development incentives. We suggest…
Where is Helvellyn? Fuzziness of multi‐scale landscape morphometry
The landscape in which people live is made up of many features, which are named and have importance for cultural reasons. Prominent among these are the naming of upland features such as mountains, but mountains are an enigmatic phenomenon which do not bear precise and repeatable definition. They have a vague spatial extent, and recent research has modelled such classes as spatial fuzzy sets. We take a specifically multi‐resolution approach to the…

International Virtual Field Trips
Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) have a valuable role in supporting and enhancing real fieldwork and empowering students who are disadvantaged financially or physically. The development of good VFT and VFT tools is still in its infancy and full 'virtuality' is still many years away. This article traces the evolution of virtual field trips, outlining their advantages and disadvantages and provides a brief overview of the materials and approaches current…
State laws on youth access to tobacco in the United States
Although all states have laws addressing youth access to tobacco, this analysis reveals that, as of the end of 1996, the progress towards meeting health policy targets is slow, and state legislation that preempts local tobacco regulation is becoming more common

Although much research has been conducted on state and local government economic development policy in the US, there is no agreement on how tax and other incentives should be measured. There are serious problems with the widely used summary measures of tax burdens and incentive programme activity. The hypothetical f…

Flint‐working in the Metal Age
This paper considers the relationship between flint technology and the development of metalworking in Britain. The gradual adoption of metals is reflected by changes in the range of flint flakes being produced, the efficiency with which the raw material was worked and the number of implement types that continued to be made of stone. The main types to remain in use were those for which flint was a more suitable material than bronze. The intensity …

Tax Incentives to Slow Farmland Conversion
Absentee Ownership of Farmland and State and Local Tax Policy
The incentive effects of state and local tax policies in promoting or inhibiting the ownership of farmland by non-operators are evaluated. Previous research on the economic, social and environmental effects of absentee ownership is reviewed as well as evidence regarding the impact of tax laws on absentee owners versus owner-operators. The Federal tax laws, it is found, work to increase land prices, reduce entry into farming by young farmers, and …
Sieving for Soil Marks
Recent work has suggested that greater attention might be paid to the archaeological potential of the modern ploughsoil. In particular, it seems likely that soil marks in chalkland areas can be remarkably resilient. This paper describes an attempt to recover and analyse soil marks on a gravel site through sieving of the modern ploughsoil. Such an approach may shed considerable light on the original form of earthwork monuments otherwise obliterate…

analysis of the errors which was undertaken. It appears to us that the experimental conditions so modified the normal reading act that generalizing from the results of this study to normal reading is inappropriate. We would suggest, therefore, that future research in this area take into account the normal reading process, so that evidence of the possible importance of word length and word shape can be accepted more readily

Visualizing Uncertainty in Soil Maps by Animation
The quality of mapped environmental information, especially soil maps, is relatively poor. Tradidonally reporting of this quality information has been restricted to standards and reports, which acting as adjuncts to the map but are accessible and understandable to few. Recent soil maps produced by the United States Soil Conservation Service are an example of this. They conform to a published mapping standard, and accompanying reports give details…
