Plot details in extremist activity based on prior military experience
A Hofstede Cultural Dimensions Analysis of Extremist Radicalization
A Comparative Evaluation of Radicalization Factors between Civilians, Veterans, and Active-Duty Military
Talk Is Cheap
Marksmanship is a critical skill for military, law enforcement, and security professionals as well as recreational shooters who participate in competitions or hunting. Unfortunately, skill assessments vary wildly between branches of military service and even more so when compared with local law enforcement or security requirements. This heterogeneity creates wide-ranging opinions about what constitutes a firearm expert, with people claiming exper…
Heart rate of fire
Introduction Shooting simulations provide an excellent opportunity to train use-of-force decisions in controlled environments. Recently, military and law enforcement organizations have expressed a growing desire to integrate physiological measurement into simulations for training and feedback purposes. Although participants can easily wear physiological monitors in these scenarios, direct implementation into training may not be simple. Theoretica…
Nuclear Risks Rise as Great-Power Conflict Goes On
Psychological endurance
Many concepts describe how individuals sustain effort despite challenging circumstances. For example, scholars and practitioners may incorporate discussions of grit, hardiness, self-control, and resilience into their ideas of performance under adversity. Although there are nuanced points underlying each construct capable of generating empirically sound propositions, the shared attributes make them difficult to differentiate. As a result, substant…
Perception Over Personality in Lethal Force
The use of lethal force is a combination of threat perception and individual judgment that sometimes warrants a behavioral response. This simplified description implicates perceptual factors and individual differences in lethal force decision making, which ongoing research continues to address. However, personality-based factors have been less explored as to how they might affect either threat perception or behavioral responses in a lethal force …
On Making Us Whole Again
On Making Us Whole Again Adam Biggs (bio) As a historian of race and medicine, my first visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture was a peculiar experience. I had been meaning to go since it opened in 2016 but only managed to arrange a trip this past summer as pandemic restrictions began to wane. By all accounts, it was extraordinary. World class in every way, the museum contained an abundance of richly informative and …

Differences in multiple‐target visual search performance between non‐professional and professional searchers due to decision‐making criteria
Professional visual searches, such as those conducted by airport security personnel, often demand highly accurate performance. As many factors can hinder accuracy, it is critical to understand the potential influences. Here, we examined how explicit decision‐making criteria might affect multiple‐target search performance. Non‐professional searchers (college undergraduates) and professional searchers (airport security officers) classified trials a…
