Journal Article
Innes, R., Burt, D., Birch, Y., & Hausmann, M. (2016). A leftward bias however you look at it: revisiting the emotional chimeric face task as a tool for measuring emotion lateralization. Laterality, 21(4-6), 643-661. https://doi.org/10.1080/1357650x.2015.1117095

Left hemiface biases observed within the Emotional Chimeric Face Task (ECFT) support emotional face perception models whereby all expressions are preferentially processed by the right hemisphere. However, previous research using this task has not con...

Processing of Facial Emotion in Bipolar Depression and Euthymia (2015)
Journal Article
Robinson, L., Gray, J., Burt, M., Ferrier, I., & Gallagher, P. (2015). Processing of Facial Emotion in Bipolar Depression and Euthymia. Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 21(09), 709-721. https://doi.org/10.1017/s1355617715000909

Previous studies of facial emotion processing in bipolar disorder (BD) have reported conflicting findings. In independently conducted studies, we investigate facial emotion labeling in euthymic and depressed BD patients using tasks with static and dy...

Red clothing increases perceived dominance, aggression and anger (2015)
Journal Article
Wiedemann, D., Burt, D., Hill, R., & Barton, R. (2015). Red clothing increases perceived dominance, aggression and anger. Biology Letters, 11(5), Article 20150166. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2015.0166

The presence and intensity of red coloration correlate with male dominance and testosterone in a variety of animal species, and even artificial red stimuli can influence dominance interactions. In humans, red stimuli are perceived as more threatening... Read More about Red clothing increases perceived dominance, aggression and anger.

Concurrent parent–child relationship quality is associated with an imprinting-like effect in children’s facial preferences (2015)
Journal Article
Vukovic, J., Boothroyd, L., Meins, E., & Burt, D. (2015). Concurrent parent–child relationship quality is associated with an imprinting-like effect in children’s facial preferences. Evolution and Human Behavior, 36(4), 331-336. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2015.03.004

Humans have been shown to display phenomena resembling sexual imprinting, whereby adults are attracted to features in potential mates which resemble their opposite sex parent. In humans this may be particularly so when the parent–child relationship i...
