Background: Previous research has shown that, when presented with brief samples of behavior, non-autistic university students judge autistic peers less favorably than non-autistic peers on measures of academic experience (e.g., motivation to study, a...

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 (2024)
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?

Young dictators—Speaking about oneself decreases generosity in children from two cultural contexts (2024)
Journal Article
Weltzien, S., Marsh, L., Kanngiesser, P., & Hood, B. (2024). Young dictators—Speaking about oneself decreases generosity in children from two cultural contexts. PLoS ONE, 19(3), Article e0300200. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0300200

Sharing of resources is a common feature of human societies. Yet, there is substantial societal variation in children’s generosity, and this variation emerges during middle childhood. Societal differences in self-construal orientation may be one fact... Read More about Young dictators—Speaking about oneself decreases generosity in children from two cultural contexts.

The influence of collaboration and culture on the IKEA effect: Does cocreation alter perceptions of value in British and Indian children? (2022)
Journal Article
Marsh, L. E., Gil, J., & Kanngiesser, P. (2022). The influence of collaboration and culture on the IKEA effect: Does cocreation alter perceptions of value in British and Indian children?. Developmental Psychology, 58(4), 662-670. https://doi.org/10.1037/dev0001321

Creating objects can increase our evaluation of them, even when we compare them to physically identical copies (IKEA effect). Here we evaluate the influence of collaboration on the IKEA effect in two societies – the UK and India. 128 5-to-6-year-old...

Thinking of me: Self-focus reduces sharing and helping in seven- to eight-year-olds (2018)
Journal Article
Weltzien, S., Marsh, L. E., & Hood, B. (2018). Thinking of me: Self-focus reduces sharing and helping in seven- to eight-year-olds. PLoS ONE, 13(1), Article e0189752. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0189752

By 7-to 8-years of age, most children readily adhere to prosocial norms aimed at benefiting others through giving up time and effort (helping) or resources (sharing). Two studies explored whether sharing and helping by 7-to 8-year olds (N = 180) coul... Read More about Thinking of me: Self-focus reduces sharing and helping in seven- to eight-year-olds.

When and how does labour lead to love? The ontogeny and mechanisms of the IKEA effect (2017)
Journal Article
Marsh, L. E., Kanngiesser, P., & Hood, B. (2018). When and how does labour lead to love? The ontogeny and mechanisms of the IKEA effect. Cognition, 170, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2017.10.012

We elevate our constructions to a special status in our minds. This ‘IKEA’ effect leads us to believe that our creations are more valuable than items that are identical, but constructed by another. This series of studies utilises a developmental pers... Read More about When and how does labour lead to love? The ontogeny and mechanisms of the IKEA effect.

The imitation game: effects of social cues on 'imitation' are domain-general in nature (2016)
Journal Article
Marsh, L. E., Bird, G., & Catmur, C. (2016). The imitation game: effects of social cues on 'imitation' are domain-general in nature. NeuroImage, 139, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.06.050

Imitation has been hailed as ‘social glue’, facilitating rapport with others. Previous studies suggest that social cues modulate imitation but the mechanism of such modulation remains underspecified. Here we examine the locus, specificity, and neural... Read More about The imitation game: effects of social cues on 'imitation' are domain-general in nature.

Picture yourself: self-focus and the endowment effect in preschool children (2016)
Journal Article
Hood, B., Weltzien, S., Marsh, L., & Kanngiesser, P. (2016). Picture yourself: self-focus and the endowment effect in preschool children. Cognition, 152, 70-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2016.03.019

When an object comes into possession, the owner will typically think that it is worth more than it did before they owned the item in a bias known as the endowment effect. This bias is particularly robust in Western societies with independent self-con... Read More about Picture yourself: self-focus and the endowment effect in preschool children.
