What is the relationship between body mass index and eating disorder symptomatology in female fashion models? (2020)
Journal Article
Ralph-Nearman, C., Yeh, H.-W., Khalsa, S. S., Feusner, J. D., & Filik, R. (2020). What is the relationship between body mass index and eating disorder symptomatology in female fashion models?. Psychiatry Research, 293, Article 113358. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2020.113358

Low body mass index (BMI [less than] 18/18.5) is utilized as a mandated cutoff for professional fashion model employment, based on assumptions that low BMI indicates eating disorder pathology. No previous studies have examined the association between... Read More about What is the relationship between body mass index and eating disorder symptomatology in female fashion models?.

An associative analysis of recognition memory: Relative recency effects in an eye-tracking paradigm (2020)
Journal Article
Nitka, A. W., Bonardi, C., & Robinson, J. (2020). An associative analysis of recognition memory: Relative recency effects in an eye-tracking paradigm. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 46(3), 314-326. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000258

We report 2 eye-tracking experiments with human variants of 2 rodent recognition memory tasks, relative recency and object-in-place. In Experiment 1 participants were sequentially exposed to 2 images, A then B, presented on a computer display. When s...

Defining the key issues discussed by problematic gamblers on web-based forums: a data-driven approach (2020)
Journal Article
Bradley, A., & James, R. (2021). Defining the key issues discussed by problematic gamblers on web-based forums: a data-driven approach. International Gambling Studies, 21(1), 59-73. https://doi.org/10.1080/14459795.2020.1801793

Online forums can be a source of support for people with gambling-related problems. Forum threads contain detailed information about these gamblers’ experiences. However, because of limitations in data collection and analysis, there have been few sys...

The timing mega-study: comparing a range of experiment generators, both lab-based and online (2020)
Journal Article
Bridges, D., Pitiot, A., Macaskill, M., & Peirce, J. (2020). The timing mega-study: comparing a range of experiment generators, both lab-based and online. PeerJ, 8, Article e9414. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.9414

Many researchers in the behavioral sciences depend on research software that presents stimuli, and records response times, with sub-millisecond precision. There are a large number of software packages with which to conduct these behavioural experimen...

Development and validation of new figural scales for female body dissatisfaction assessment on two dimensions: thin-ideal and muscularity-ideal (2020)
Journal Article
Ralph-Nearman, C., & Filik, R. (2020). Development and validation of new figural scales for female body dissatisfaction assessment on two dimensions: thin-ideal and muscularity-ideal. BMC Public Health, 20, Article 1114. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09094-6

Background:
Body dissatisfaction influences women’s mental and physical health. To date, most research has focused on body dissatisfaction in relation to the ‘thin-ideal’. Thus, the association between body dissatisfaction, eating disorder symptoma...
