Cognitive biases in individuals with chronic pain
Chronic Pain (CP) significantly impairs quality of life, making it critical to understand the psychological factors that contribute to its onset and persistence. This study investigated interpretation biases (IB) and memory biases (MB) in 153 individuals (CP = 77; non-pain controls = 76). Participants completed tasks assessing IB using ambiguous scenarios, and MB via surprise short-term recall and delayed recognition (after one month) of pain/ill…
Exploring the predictors of physical inactivity in a university setting
The results of this study should be used as a theoretical starting point in carrying out behavioural diagnosis, which could inform the design of effective interventions to increase PA levels in universities and other settings
Application of theoretical domains framework to explore the enablers and barriers to physical activity among university staff and students
These findings suggest that several enablers and barriers influence university staff and students' capability, opportunity, and motivation to engage in physical activity. This study, therefore, provides a theoretical foundation to inform the development of bespoke interventions to increase physical activity among inactive university staff and students

The impact of a school-based gardening intervention on intentions and behaviour related to fruit and vegetable consumption in children
A total of 77 children (34 boys, 43 girls, mean age ± standard deviation = 9 ± 1 years) participated in this study; 46 children (intervention) undertook a 12-week school gardening programme and 31 children acted as controls. Measures of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and fruit and vegetable consumption were taken pre- and post-intervention. Repeated measures analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the interventio…

I Have No Beginning and No End‘
Audrey Mullender, Anita Pavlovic and Victoria Staples report on the second stage of a study of abandonment conducted at the University of Warwick in 2002–03. Interviews with ten adults who had been ‘foundlings' revealed a wealth of thoughts and feelings that were often significantly different from those of other adopted people. Abandonment is harder to talk about and perhaps harder to come to terms with than adoption alone. The profound ignorance…
