Ethical Challenges and Moral Conation Capacities in Emerging Adults Moving into Media Industries
This study explores the development of moral identity and value systems among entry-level media workers during the formative period of emerging adulthood. Thematic analysis of extensive “life story” structured interviews with newly minted graduates of five journalism and communications programs in the United States (N = 65) focused on responses to specific interview queries regarding ethical challenges. Key themes of challenges involved autonomou…
Determining the influence of video-based benchmarking (VBB) on examiner variability in objective structured clinical exams (OSCE)
Introduction Reducing examiner variability in Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) is a priority within clinical performance assessment. In contrast to typical OSCE examiner training, video-based benchmarking (VBB) involves examiners scoring videos a/from their specific station b/shortly before the OSCE and then reflecting on and discussing scores/justifications agreed by an expert panel. Whilst realist evaluation has described mechanisms …
Simulated patient judgements of medical student performance in OSCEs
INTRODUCTION: Simulated patients (SPs) are widely used in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and increasingly contribute to summative scoring in high-stakes clinical assessments. While their judgments inform pass-fail decisions, concerns remain about variability and potential bias. There is limited theory-driven evidence explaining how SP involvement contributes to assessment decisions, and under what conditions this supports fair…
Navigating the educational landscape in primary care
INTRODUCTION: Despite challenges, interprofessional education during clinical placements offers well documented benefits. Interprofessional learning remains underutilised and under-researched in primary care practice-based settings. Sydney Medical School, Australia, implemented a program placing medical students in diverse primary care health professions. Grounded in bounded relativism and social constructivism, This study explored students' perc…
The Visual Journalism Credibility Scale
Credibility is an ancient, well-studied, complicated construct. Most credibility measurements consider messenger (ethos) and/or message (logos). Aristotle’s definition includes pathos—the speaker’s emotion, important in visual journalism but rarely applied to visual mediums. This experimental research seeks to fill that gap. It analyzed 45 variables representing ethos, logos, and pathos. High correlations among Aristotle’s three concepts suggest …
Equity, diversity and global contexts in clinical academic career pathways
Dear EditorThanks for the opportunity to engage with the insightful manuscript by Bracewell et al. [1] exploring medical students’ and specialised foundation doctors’ views on clinical academic car
Applying Virtue Ethics, in the Context of Ubuntu, to Soli in Ghana and Brown-Envelope Journalism in Africa
Journalism trust and community trust in many sub-Saharan African nations are stymied by “brown envelope” practices, of sources paying journalists to produce positive coverage and/or to not publish negative news. Ghana’s term for this is “soli”, short for the “solidarity” cultural norm of showing hospitality to visitors. This research uses interviews with community radio journalists in Ghana, and the professional and academic literature on ubuntu …
Moral Identity Development Among Emerging Adults in Media
This longitudinal study examines changes in the moral identity of 48 emerging-adult U.S. college graduates in media-related fields from their first year after college to three years later as they progressed into early work life. Results from four moral psychology survey instruments reflect significant shifts in moral reasoning, relativistic thinking and idealism, coupled with stability in personality traits and character strengths. A fifth instru…
Domains of spirituality and their importance to the health of 75 533 adolescents in 12 countries
Spirituality is an ancient concept with many contemporary applications to the field of health promotion. While recognized in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a basic human right, definitional misunderstandings about what spirituality is, and is not, and the mechanisms by which it affects the health of young people, remain. In this cross-national analysis involving >75 000 adolescents from 12 countries, we examined the relative impo…
Situated learning in community environments (SLICE)
PURPOSE: We sought to design a micro-curriculum to structure supervised clinical placements for junior medical students within a variety of community-based settings of differing clinical disciplines. Given the gaps in the literature, this paper reflects on the opportunities and challenges of our design, implementation, and evaluation strategies in constructing an integrated task-based micro-curriculum for interprofessional community-based learnin…
Unpacking the impacts of programmatic approach to assessment system in a medical programme using critical realist perspectives
Traditional, positivist assessment approaches generally fail to capture the nuances of learners’ clinical competence in medical programmes. This has led to the implementation of an alternate assessment approach known as ‘programmatic assessment’, which embraces subjectivity of human judgement in holistic decision making in clinical settings. Faculty and staff have found the introduction of programmatic assessment to be challenging because it is a…
Alternative Approaches to Human Rights
This book explores the comparative historical evolution of the European, Inter-American and African regional human rights systems. The book devotes attention to various factors that have shaped the systems: the different circumstances in which they were founded; the influence of major states and inter-state politics within their respective regions; gradual processes of institutional evolution; and the impact of human rights advocates and claimant…

Intentionally p…
Theory of Dining
Dining, the activity of eating food, is a basic human function. A theory of dining is offered focused on dining at home, in the local community, and while traveling far away from home. Dining is the process of consuming food, regardless of geography, culture, or era; however, human behaviors do vary depending on the setting. A historical overview of restaurants and dining in different areas of the world is presented to provide a background for th…
Theory of Events
Event management research has generally had a focus on the operational aspect of providing events. In this conceptual effort, the elements of an event are examined through the perspective of the attendee. Five key components of the event experience are identified and explored. Together, the five elements are used to build a model that presents the multifaceted nature of the attendee’s experience. The model is used as a basis for the theory of eve…
Student perspectives on programmatic assessment in a large medical programme
Engaging clinical examiners with structured feedback to enhance assessment practices
INTRODUCTION: Examiners' professional judgements of student performance are pivotal to making high-stakes decisions to ensure graduating medical students are competent to practise. Clinicians play a key role in assessment in medical education. They are qualified in their clinical area but may require support to further develop their understanding of assessment practices. However, there are limited studies on providing examiners with structured fe…
Re-evaluating New Zealand tourism–what the future holds
Purpose COVID-19 plunged tourism off the cliff in New Zealand. What did this mean for the country, how did we respond and what is the future? Design/methodology/approach This is a personal account, reflecting on my thoughts and experiences as Chief Executive of Tourism Industry Aotearoa. Findings It is a challenging time to try to predict the future given all the remaining COVID-19-related uncertainties. But there are a number of consistencies th…
Defining the Field of Events
When considering the field of events, an important initial step is to consider the definition of an event. The goal of this article was twofold, first to take a novel approach in defining an event by considering the contextual aspects of an event from the traditional definitions, but adding the perspective of the attendee; and second to develop a typology focused on a unified definition of the field of events relational to the extant literature. …
Moving Into the Media World
A growing body of psychology-based scholarship identifies emerging adulthood as a distinct, transitional stage of life and work characterized by several features, wherein relatively little is known regarding moral development. This study is part of a 3-year, longitudinal project involving recent graduates across six U.S. universities who studied journalism and media-related fields. Guided by emerging adulthood, moral psychology, and media exempla…
News story aggregation and perceived credibility
The practice of aggregating news content—repurposing content created by other news organizations—raises questions about credibility. This experimental study suggests that news organizations can boost credibility of aggregated content by more clearly identifying originating sources than by increasing or decreasing the use of aggregation. Relationships between levels of aggregation and credibility showed little or no significance, while relationshi…

BlackHealingMatters in the Time of #BlackLivesMatter
Since at least 2013, the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) has reanimated public conversation, highlighting a pattern of present-day and historical state-sanctioned violence against Black people. Much of the conversation has centered on the premise that Black Lives Matter, a statement that challenges an anti-Black logic in which Black and life or rather Black and human are thought to be antagonistic entities. Black Lives Matter is a necessary state…
The Learning Pathways Grid
The interview is an important data-gathering tool in qualitative research, since it allows researchers to gain insight into a person's knowledge, understandings, perceptions, interpretations, and experiences. There are many definitions of reflexivity in qualitative research, one such definition being 'Reflexivity is an attitude of attending systematically to the context of knowledge construction, especially to the effect of the researcher, at eve…
So Weird; So Cool; So Innovative
The use of intensifiers in the television series Friends between 1994 and 2002 provides a unique opportunity to (1) study linguistic innovation in real time and (2) test the viability of media-based data as a surrogate to“real-world” data in sociolinguistic research. TheFriends data exhibit almost the same overall rate of intensification as similar studies of contemporary English, and the same intensifiers occur most frequently: really, very, and…
Gps in Cyberspace
It has been argued that on-line networked communication can enable the establishment of 'virtual communities'. Empirical data from an electronic discussion group for general medical practitioners (GPs) are used to evaluate these claims, and to explore the similarities and discrepancies between on-line and face-to-face interactions. A distinct social order for this 'community' is reported, and the strategies to establish this order in a textual en…
Person‐centredness in the community care of older people
‘Person‐centredness’ is a ubiquitous term, employed in modern care services to signify policies and practices that attend to the uniqueness of each individual user. Despite being highly regarded in older adult community care services, there is much ambiguity over its precise meaning. Existing reviews of person‐centredness and its attributes have tended to focus on the medico‐nursing literature, neglecting other interpretations, such as those rele…
Correlations Among Variables in Message and Messenger Credibility Scales
Although credibility is a complicated construct involving interrelationships among messenger, message, communication channels, and recipients, the most widely used credibility indexes seek to measure only one of those attributes at a time. This study used two widely used credibility scales to simultaneously measure message and messenger credibility. An analysis showed high correlations between the two scales and among their individual variables b…
Identity, impairment and disablement
The social model of disability acknowledges the impact of impairments but argues that disablement is socially constructed. Taking a theoretical perspective, underpinned by the social model of disability and elements of social identity theory, we investigated the relationship between impairment, disablement and identity change in adults living with an acquired neurological impairment. Through the thematic analysis, three themes emerged: changing s…

Self-assessment and students’ study strategies in a community of clinical practice
This research suggests that the theoretical advantages linked to the self-assessment process are a result of its feedback component rather than the practice of self-assessment isolated from feedback. Further research exploring the effects of different contextual and personal factors on students' self-assessment is needed
Ethnic minority police officers and disproportionality in misconduct proceedings
Concern with perceptions of disproportionality on the grounds of ethnicity in internal police misconduct proceedings surfaced in England and Wales in the early 2000s.

A brief review of existing research is followed by presentation of research on the experiences of serving and former Greater Manchester Police ethni…
Predictors of physical activity and sedentary behaviours among 11-16 year olds
Shorter lunch breaks were associated with increased sedentary time. Therefore, while further research is needed to better understand the causal nature of this association, extending lunch breaks could have a positive impact on sedentary behaviour through the provision of more time for physical activity. The findings also suggest that active travel could offer a mechanism for increasing physical activity levels particularly amongst girls. Particul…
