Background
Controversy over treatment for people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a barrier to appropriate treatment. Energy management or pacing is a prominent coping strategy for people with ME/CFS. Whilst a definitive definition of pacing is not unanimous within the literature or healthcare providers, it typica...
Attitudes toward secession are studied across disciplines yet remain under-researched in the field of personality psychology. The present study (N = 430) examined xenophobia, identification with all humanity (IWAH) and 4 personality traits (universalism-tolerance, openness, right-wing authoritarianism, collective narcissism) in relation to attitude...
Background
Controversy over treatment for people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a barrier to appropriate treatment. Energy management or pacing is a prominent coping strategy for people with ME/CFS that involves regulating activity to avoid post exertional malaise (PEM), the worsening of symptoms after an activi...
Background:
Commonly reported symptoms of long-COVID may have different patterns of prevalence and presentation across different countries. While some limited data has been reported for the UK, national specificity for Scotland is less clear. We present a cross-sectional survey to examine the symptom prevalence, frequency and severity of long-COVI...
Background:
There has been some effort to map the prevalence, frequency, and severity of symptoms of long-COVID at local and national levels. However, what is frequently absent from such accounts is details of the impact the disease and its symptoms have had on those living with the condition. In this manuscript, we present details of impact to wo...
Evidence suggests that language processing in bilinguals is less left-lateralized than in monolinguals. We explored dual-task decrement (DTD) for mono-, bi- and multilinguals in a verbal-motor dual-task paradigm. We expected monolinguals to show greater DTD than bilingual participants, who would show greater DTD than multilingual participants. Fift...
With the rise in accessibility of media personae and celebrities through social media sites, parasocial relationships (PSRs) can offer a meaningful alternative for individuals who experience obstacles in forming real-life relationships. Existing research suggests that PSRs are multidimensional. Building on this, we considered how social media and s...
We present data from two studies examining how COVID-19 restrictions affected health behaviours (alcohol consumption, diet, sleep quality, and physical activity levels), mental wellbeing (negative mood) and cognitive function (decision making, attention, learning, working memory, and time perception) in association with socio-demographic factors. S...
Countries have instigated different restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, nationwide, strict “lockdown” in Scotland was enacted with breaches punishable by law, whereas restrictions in Japan allowed for travel and interaction, with citizens requested rather than required to conform. We explored the impact of these differe...
According to the Presupposition-Denial Account, complement set reference arises when focus is on the shortfall between the amount conveyed by a natural language quantifier and a larger, expected amount. Negative quantifiers imply a shortfall, through the denial of a presupposition, whereas positive quantifiers do not. An exception may be provided b...
Background: Persistent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms are increasingly well-reported in cohort studies and case series. Given the spread of the pandemic, number of individuals suffering from persistent symptoms, termed ‘long COVID', are significant. However, type and prevalence of symptoms are not well reported using systematic litera...
Globally, everyday life has been restricted – varyingly – to control the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2021, nationwide “lockdown” was enacted in Scotland with breaches punishable by law. Contrastingly, Japanese restrictions were managed prefecture-by-prefecture, with opportunities for travel and interaction, with citizens requested rather than req...
Studies examining the effect of social isolation on cognitive function typically involve older adults and/or specialist groups (e.g., expeditions). We considered the effects of COVID‐19‐induced social isolation on cognitive function within a representative sample of the general population. We additionally considered how participants ‘shielding’ due...

Studies examining the effect of social isolation on cognitive function typically involve older adults, and/or specialist groups (e.g., astronauts, Antarctic explorers). We considered the effects of COVID-19-induced long-term social isolation on cognitive function within a representative sample of the general population. We additionally considered h...
The United Kingdom and Scottish governments instigated a societal lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, many experienced substantial lifestyle changes alongside the stresses of potentially catching the virus or experiencing bereavement. Stressful situations and poorer health behaviors (e.g., higher alcohol consumption, unheal...
The dark triad of personality and hero/villain status as predictors of parasocial relationships with comic book characters Dark triad and comic book PSR 2 Public Significance Statement This study suggests that comic book readers with a more grandiose sense of self perceive a unique and meaningful bond between the self and comic book characters. The...
The influence of domain knowledge on reading behavior has received limited investigation compared to the influence of, for example, context and/or word frequency. The current study tested participants with and without domain knowledge of the Harry Potter (HP) universe. Fans and non-fans read sentences containing HP, high-frequency (HF), or low-freq...
The functional distance hypothesis (FDH) predicts that tasks regulated by cerebral networks in closer anatomical proximity will cause more interference than tasks regulated by distant regions. Support for the FDH has been found in studies of left/right brain asymmetries in the interactions of concurrent communication and manual tasks. A mixed desig...
We explored parasocial interactions with characters from a narrow range of books and movies, namely, those featuring the character “Harry Potter.” Following research that suggests that parasocial interactions are multidimensional, we investigated which personality, reading, and viewing motives predicted 4 dimensions of parasocial interaction with c...
An anaphoric reference to the complement-set is a reference to the set that does not fulfil the predicate of the preceding sentence. Preferred reference to the complement-set has been found in eye movements when a character’s implicit desire for a high amount has been denied using a negative emotion. We recorded event-related potentials to examine...
Antonym pair members can be differentiated by each word’s markedness–that distinction attributable to the presence or absence of features at morphological or semantic levels. Morphologically marked words incorporate their unmarked counterpart with additional morphs (e.g., “unlucky” vs. “lucky”); properties used to determine semantically marked word...

Choice-based experiments indicate that readers draw sophisticated inferences from logically equivalent frames. Readers may infer that a glass was previously full if described as currently half empty, and previously empty if described as currently half full. The information leakage framework suggests these inferences are made because information abo...
Production and comprehension of pronominal references may vary depending on whether this is preceded by a statement including a positive or a negative natural language quantifier (NLQ). After a negative NLQ there is a preference to refer to the complement set, a set not explicitly mentioned (Moxey & Sanford, 1987). We report two experiments which e...
Dissertation submitted to the Department of Psychology, University of Glasgow, 2002. "Maxi project." Thesis (M.A.)--University of Glasgow, 2002. Includes bibliographical references.
The experiments reported in this thesis examine a reader's ability to draw inferences about a situation from desires, emotion words and logically equivalent frames. Previous research has provided evidence that listeners (or readers) are able to make inferences about current or presupposed states from the speaker's choice of frame. That is, in exper...

There are loads of wikis, blogs, videos and courses available online to help with statistics (and I don't just mean to help students). I am trying to review these at the moment and it would be great to learn what the statistics community would like to see as essential information. For example: if a video demonstrates how to perform a t-test without discussing the assumptions under which this test should be completed does this become a poor resource because essential information is missing?
If you have any ideas on what a resource must include [assumptions/choice of test/interpretation...] I would be glad to receive your comments so I can establish a baseline of criteria for review.
Many thanks in advance.
