Understanding How University Students Use Perceptions of Consent, Wantedness, and Pleasure in Labeling Rape
While the lack of consent is the only determining factor in considering whether a situation is rape or not, there is sufficient evidence that participants conflate wantedness with consent and pleasurableness with wantedness. Understanding how people appraise sexual scenarios may form the basis to develop appropriate educational packages. We conducted two large-scale qualitative studies in two UK universities in which participants read vignettes d…

Birthweight predicts individual differences in adult face recognition ability
It has long been known that premature birth and/or low birthweight can lead to general difficulties in cognitive and emotional functioning throughout childhood. However, the influence of these factors on more specific processes has seldom been addressed, despite their potential to account for wide individual differences in performance that often appear innate. Here, we examined the influence of gestation and birthweight on adults’ face perception…
Narrative approach to understand people’s comprehension of acquaintance rape
One of the most unreported crimes is acquaintance rape. This may be the result of people’s understanding of what rape is because of their rape script and their stereotypes of victim characteristics. These judgements may be moderated by sex-role stereotyping (SRS). We utilised a narrative approach to understand low and high SRS participants’ rape scripts. Young-adult participants described what they believed a typical rape was, followed by describ…
A developmental study of the own-age face recognition bias in children
The own-age bias is one in which people recognize faces of people their own age more accurately than faces of other ages (e.g., Anastasi & Rhodes, 2005, 2006) and appears to be, at least, partially based on experience (Harrison & Hole, 2009). Indeed, Hills and Lewis (2011a) have shown that 8-year-old faces are more accurately recognized by 8-year-old children than by 6- or 11-year-old children, suggesting the own-age bias develops rapidly. The pr…
Aberrant first fixations when looking at inverted faces in various poses
Face recognition is essential in everyday human life, and all faces are encountered in different poses. However, when a face is inverted, difficulties arise for recognition and eye movements may (Barton, Radcliffe, Cherkasova, Edleman, & Intriligator, 2006) or may not be disrupted (Williams & Henderson, 2007). The present study explored the effects of orientation and pose on recognition and eye movements during a standard old/new recognition task…
Sad people are more accurate at face recognition than happy people
Sad people avoid the eyes or happy people focus on the eyes? Mood induction affects facial feature discrimination
Depressed people tend to avoid eye-contact in social situations and in experimental settings, whereas happy people actively seek eye-contact. We report an experiment in which participants made discriminations between faces that had either configural or featural changes made to the eyes, nose, or head shape. The results showed participants induced to be happy detected changes in eyes more often than participants induced to be sad, but failed to de…
Concerns over biomass sources of greenhouse gases
Issues related to developing country sources of greenhouse gases are likely to be among the most difficult and contentious matters in any concerted international attempt to curtail emissions of greenhouse gases. Biomass sources of such gases as methane and carbon dioxide come largely from lower income nations and represent particularly difficult problems because of their close association with food production and near‐term economic gains from exp…
