Measures of public attitudes towards science
The role that attitudes towards science plays in science acceptance has received attention in recent years, yet little is known about the ways that public attitudes towards science are conceptualised and measured. To address this, our review sought to identify instruments developed to measure attitudes towards general science or the scientific method for use with adult populations that had been subjected to psychometric analyses. The review proto…
Capital Gains
Learning to capitalize in English requires identifying a word's type and sentence position. In two cloze studies (2021–2022), Australian students of all genders (95% White, monolingual) spelled words with one and two capitalization cues (proper nouns, sentence-initial words) and no-cue control words. High school (12–18 years, n = 59) and university students (18–63 years, n = 78) exhibited near-perfect capitalization. Primary school students (8–12…
In science we trust? Public trust in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections and accepting anthropogenic climate change
One barrier to action on climate change is public trust in climate science, and projections made by climate scientists. However, climate science projections are rarely measured in public surveys. We designed survey questions based on two Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections regarding global warming and coral reef decline. We gauge Australians’ trust in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections, and explore how trust i…
Eyewitness identifications of multiple culprits
Eyewitnesses to multiple-culprit crimes are often asked to try to identify the culprits from differentlineups during a police investigation. In 2 experiments (N = 557), we show that disconfirming feedbackafter an identification attempt for 1 culprit can impair identification performance on a subsequent lineupfor a different culprit. In each experiment, witnesses viewed a simulated, 2-culprit crime, followed by 2police lineups: A culprit-absent li…
Eyewitness identification
Current guidelines for selecting lineup fillers are imprecise. Consequently, filler characteristics likelyvary widely across lineups, potentially affecting identification decisions in important but unexplainedways. We report 2 experiments investigating the impact of 1 source of variation, the number of relativelyhigh versus low similarity match-description fillers, on identification outcomes. Identifications followinga retention interval of a few…
Pitfalls in using eyewitness confidence to diagnose the accuracy of an individual identification decision
Recently, a number of authors have made strong claims about the likely very high accuracy of identifications made with very high levels of confidence when identification testing conditions are pristine. We argue that although these strong claims about the confidence–accuracy relation are justifiable at the aggregate level, they may be misleading when attempting to evaluate the accuracy of an individual identification. First, we consider the recen…
Alcohol intoxication impairs recognition of fear and sadness in others and metacognitive awareness of emotion recognition ability
Alcohol intoxication is linked to negative social behaviors, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are poorly understood. We investigated the effects of high-dose alcohol intoxication on the ability to perceive a range of basic emotions (sad, happy, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise) of different intensities, and on self-appraisals of emotion perception ability (i.e., metacognitive judgments). Sixty-four participants consumed either an…
The effects of allowing a second sequential lineup lap on choosing and probative value
When presented with a sequential lineup, witnesses see each member of the lineup individually, essentially making a yes/no decision for each person shown. An important policy question is whether witnesses should be allowed to see an additional lap of a sequential lineup. We investigated the impact of a second lap on eyewitness decision making and on the probative value of suspect identifications. We recruited a large community sample of participa…
