Journal Article
Stiff, C., Rosenthal-Stott, H. E., Wake, S., & Woodward, A. (2019). Student pro-sociality: Measuring institutional and individual factors that predict pro-social behaviour at university. Current Psychology, 38(4), 920-930. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-019-00256-3

Students operate within a bounded social context and often face decisions regarding whether to pursue selfish or group-level benefit. Yet little work has examined what predicts their behaviour towards fellow students. This work addresses this gap by...

Background The emergence of medical students’ professional identity is important. This paper considers this in a snapshot of the early years of undergraduate medical education. From the perspective of social identity theory, it also considers self-st...

We examined whether self-generated (status updates) or other-generated (wall-posts) information on Facebook influenced the impression formed of the target individual. Along with examining reliance on particular types of information, we explored the v...

Gender-based navigation stereotype improves men’s search for a hidden goal (2012)
Journal Article

While a general stereotype exists that men are better at navigating than women, experimental evidence indicates that men and women differ in their use of spatial strategies, and this preference determines gender-differences. When both environmental g... Read More about Gender-based navigation stereotype improves men’s search for a hidden goal.
