Journal Article
Alhusayni, A., Sheppard, E., Mitchell, P., & Marsh, L. (2024). How Do Autistic Students Do in the Eyes of Their Peers? Non-Autistic Judgments About the Academic Experiences of Autistic and Non-Autistic University Students, Based on Brief Samples of Behavior. Autism in Adulthood, https://doi.org/10.1089/aut.2023.0049

Background: Previous research has found that people can make a variety of judgments about others based on brief samples of their behavior such as judging their social favorability and whether they wish to socialize with them. Non-autistic people freq... Read More about How Do Autistic Students Do in the Eyes of Their Peers?

Report
Sheppard, E. (2024). Policy Brief: Autism and Driving. University of Nottingham

More than one in 100 people in the UK are autistic. Despite the prevalence of autism within society, autistic people face barriers in their everyday lives. One example of this is with learning to drive.

Research shows that autistic people are less... Read More about Policy Brief: Autism and Driving.

Journal Article
de Alcântara Mendes, J. A., Lucassen, M., Adams, A., Martin, L., Aicardi, C., Woodcock, R., Nielsen, E., Townsend, E., & Jirotka, M. (2024). Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approaches in mental health projects involving young people: a scoping review protocol. Research Involvement and Engagement, 10, Article 60. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40900-024-00591-1

Background: Rather than being perceived as merely ‘part of the problem’, the perspectives and experiences of young people play a pivotal role in devising effective solutions for mental health challenges. Two distinct methodologies that aid in this en...

Collaborative imagination synchronizes representations of the future and fosters social connection in the present (2024)
Journal Article
Fowler, Z., Palombo, D. J., Madan, C. R., & O’Connor, B. B. (2024). Collaborative imagination synchronizes representations of the future and fosters social connection in the present. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 121(25), Article e2318292121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2318292121

From close friends to people on a first date, imagining a shared future appears fundamental to relationships. Yet, no previous research has conceptualized the act of imagination as a socially constructed process that affects how connected we feel to...

Leveraging multiple digital footprint datasets to predict racial, sex-based, and sexual-orientation bias across US states (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction & Background
Racial, gender, and sexual-orientation biases are pervasive throughout society. Importantly, modern digitally oriented datasets can elucidate important societal variables and potential solutions. One contemporary theory tha... Read More about Leveraging multiple digital footprint datasets to predict racial, sex-based, and sexual-orientation bias across US states.

Propranolol attenuates the establishment of conditioned context aversions: differential effects compared to MK-801 in an animal model of anticipatory nausea and vomiting (2024)
Journal Article
İlhan, Ç. F., Ülke, E., Urcelay, G. P., & Kişlal, S. (2024). Propranolol attenuates the establishment of conditioned context aversions: differential effects compared to MK-801 in an animal model of anticipatory nausea and vomiting. Behavioural Pharmacology, 35(5), 293–302. https://doi.org/10.1097/fbp.0000000000000779

Cancer patients often experience anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV) due to Pavlovian conditioning. Both N-methyl-D-aspartate and beta-adrenergic receptors are known to mediate memory formation, but their role in the development of ANV remains unc...

Upholding social hierarchies: Social dominance orientation moderates the link between (intergroup) conspiracy exposure and violent extremism (2024)
Journal Article
Schrader, T., Jolley, D., Jolley, R., & Krahenbuhl, S. (2024). Upholding social hierarchies: Social dominance orientation moderates the link between (intergroup) conspiracy exposure and violent extremism. Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, https://doi.org/10.1177/13684302241247985

Across two experimental studies, we explored whether exposure to intergroup conspiracy theories can increase violent reactions towards targeted groups. We also examined how ideological attitudes may moderate the effect. In Study 1 (N = 160, preregist...

Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 58, Article 101411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cobeha.2024.101411

Digital technology use (i.e. digital activity) has been proposed to contribute to a decline in adolescents’ mental health. We present a new model of how risky digital activity may increase depressed mood via reciprocal pathways, cre...
