Journal Article
Hurlburt, R. T., Alderson-Day, B., Kühn, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2016). Exploring the Ecological Validity of Thinking on Demand: Neural Correlates of Elicited vs. Spontaneously Occurring Inner Speech. PLoS ONE, 11(2), Article e0147932. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0147932

Psychology and cognitive neuroscience often use standardized tasks to elicit particular experiences. We explore whether elicited experiences are similar to spontaneous experiences. In an MRI scanner, five participants performed tasks designed to elic...

The habitual female offender inside: How psychopathic traits predict chronic prison violence (2016)
Journal Article
Thomson, N., Towl, G., & Centifanti, L. (2016). The habitual female offender inside: How psychopathic traits predict chronic prison violence. Law and Human Behavior, 40(3), 257-269. https://doi.org/10.1037/lhb0000178

Psychopathy is considered one of the best predictors of violence and prison misconducts and is arguably an important clinical construct in the correctional setting. However, we tested whether psychopathy can be used to predict misconducts in prison e... Read More about The habitual female offender inside: How psychopathic traits predict chronic prison violence.

Social power and recognition of emotional prosody: High power is associated with lower recognition accuracy than low power (2016)
Journal Article
Uskul, A., Paulmann, S., & Weick, M. (2016). Social power and recognition of emotional prosody: High power is associated with lower recognition accuracy than low power. Emotion, 16(1), 11-15. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0000110

Listeners have to pay close attention to a speaker’s tone of voice (prosody) during daily conversations. This is particularly important when trying to infer the emotional state of the speaker. While a growing body of research has explored how emotion...

Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations (2016)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., Ravaux, L., de Waal, F. B., & Zuberbühler, K. (2016). Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations. Journal of Comparative Psychology, 130(1), 44-54. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0040088

Research has shown that great apes possess certain expectations about social regularities and both perceive and act according to social rules within their group. During natural and experimentally induced contexts, such as the inequitable distribution... Read More about Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations.

A synthesis of meta-analytic evidence of behavioral interventions to reduce HIV/STIs (2016)
Journal Article

To identify the mode of delivery, communicator, and content dimensions that make STI/HIV prevention interventions most successful at increasing condom use/protected sex or reducing STI/HIV incidence. A literature search for published meta-analyses of... Read More about A synthesis of meta-analytic evidence of behavioral interventions to reduce HIV/STIs.

Do humans spontaneously take the perspective of others? (2016)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Atkinson, M., Le, A., & Smith, D. (2016). Do humans spontaneously take the perspective of others?. Acta Psychologica, 164, 165-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.01.007

A growing number of authors have argued that humans automatically compute the visual perspective of other individuals. Evidence for this has come from the dot perspective task in which observers are faster to judge the number of dots in a display whe...

Do Ambiguous Normative Ingroup Members Increase Tolerance for Deviants? (2016)
Journal Article
Leite, A. C., Pinto, I. R., & Marques, J. M. (2016). Do Ambiguous Normative Ingroup Members Increase Tolerance for Deviants?. Swiss journal of psychology, 75(1), 47-52. https://doi.org/10.1024/1421-0185/a000170

Subjective group dynamics theory (Marques, Páez, & Abrams, 1998) proposes that deviant ingroup members who threaten the positive value of the group members’ social identity are evaluated negatively. In an experiment, we investigated whether group mem... Read More about Do Ambiguous Normative Ingroup Members Increase Tolerance for Deviants?.

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Auditory Verbal Hallucinations: New Techniques and Future Directions (2016)
Journal Article

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are the experience of hearing a voice in the absence of any speaker. Results from recent attempts to treat AVHs with neurostimulation (rTMS or tDCS) to the left temporoparietal junction have not been conclusive,...

Stability of right visual field advantage in an international lateralized lexical decision task irrespective of participants’ sex, handedness or bilingualism (2016)
Journal Article
Willemin, J., Hausmann, M., Brysbaert, M., Dael, N., Chmetz, F., Fioravera, A., …Mohr, C. (2016).

Laterality, 21(4-6), 502-524. https://doi.org/10.1080/1357650x.2015.1130716

In lateralized lexical decision tasks (LDTs), accuracy is higher and reaction times (RTs) are faster for right visual field (RVF) than left visual field (LVF) presentations. Visual field differences are thought to demonstrate the left hemisphere's (L...

Background: There are concerns that the marketing of e-cigarettes may increase the appeal of tobacco smoking in children. We examined this concern by assessing the impact on appeal of tobacco smoking after exposure to advertisements for e-cigarettes...
