Physical and emotional development, appetite and body image in adolescents who failed to thrive as infants (2006)
Journal Article

Background: Previous studies suggest that failure to thrive in infancy may be associated with adverse sequelae in childhood. Although cognitive abilities have been extensively investigated, little systematic research is available on other aspects of...

Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006)
Journal Article
Campbell, A. (2006). Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators?. Aggression and Violent Behavior, 11(3), 237-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avb.2005.09.002

Provocation enhances aggression but diminishes the magnitude of the sex difference. This suggests that the greater involvement of men in aggression might derive from their higher levels of anger or from their lower levels of fear and fear-related inh...

Assortative mating for perceived facial personality traits (2006)
Journal Article
Little, A., Burt, D., & Perrett, D. (2006). Assortative mating for perceived facial personality traits. Personality and Individual Differences, 40(5), 973-984. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2005.09.016

The widespread belief that partners look alike has received some empirical support. Here we examine some perceptual characteristics of faces that may account for this similarity. Across two studies judges rated perceived age, attractiveness, and five... Read More about Assortative mating for perceived facial personality traits.

Reducing stereotype threat by blurring intergroup boundaries (2006)

The authors aimed to establish whether interventions designed to reduce intergroup bias could be applied to the stereotype threat domain. In three experiments, the hypothesis was tested that blurring intergroup boundaries would reduce stereotype thre... Read More about Reducing stereotype threat by blurring intergroup boundaries.

Neural correlates of inner speech and auditory verbal hallucinations: A critical review and theoretical integration (2006)
