Self-Reported Spite Predicts Spiteful Behavior in an Online Crowd-Sourced Sample
Spiteful behavior, where one is willing to harm oneself to harm another, is a common social behavior that is associated with social competition. However, there is currently only one well-used psychological measure that claims to measure spitefulness, the Spitefulness Scale (Marcus et al., Citation2014). At present, there is little research investigating whether spite, as measured by this scale, is associated with spiteful decision-making. To test…
Spite and Science‐Denial: Exploring the Role of Spitefulness in Conspiracy Ideation and Covid‐19 Conspiracy Beliefs
Science denialism is at the heart of many conspiracy theory beliefs. We propose that such beliefs are manifestations of a distal social process: spite. In three pre‐registered studies, we test the hypothesis that established predictors of these beliefs (epistemic, existential, and social motives) are specific cues of competitive disadvantage that provoke a common facultative “spiteful” psychological response, making a person more open to believin…
Facial Expression of Tipi Personality and CHMP-Tri Psychopathy Traits in Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): Evidence for Honest Signalling
Honest signalling theory suggests that humans and chimpanzees can extract socially relevant information relating to personality from the faces of their conspecifics. Humans are also able to extract information from chimpanzees' faces. Here, we examine whether personality characteristics of chimpanzees, including measures of psychopathy, can be discerned based purely on facial morphology in photographs. Twenty-one chimpanzees were given naïve and …

The willingness to continue caring in family supporters of older people
Research has revealed the importance of characteristics of the supporter, the care-recipient, and circumstances of caregiving in the success or failure of community-based care of older people. The Dundee Study of Carers and Dementia examined factors associated with the maintenance and care of older people in the community, and with the impact of dementia on family supporters. Two hundred and twenty-eight family supporters of community-resident ol…
Patterns of caring: Case studies in informal care
Ten case studies of informal caring situations show the diversity of such situations. There are three broad patterns: those where there is mutuality or reciprocity; those where there are distinct carer and cared-for roles; and those where the main supporter is a formal service worker. It is argued that good care - formal or informal - is centred on people and their inter-relationships and inter dependencies. Poor care centres on their problems an…
Evaluation and community social work
Some of the issues involved in evaluation as it might be applied to community Social Work are identified and discussed. Stress is laid an the value of practitioner participation in evaluation. A number of case studies illustrate some of the issues. A short annotated bibliography is included
