Relatively speaking: contrast effects influence assessors’ scores and narrative feedback (2015)
Journal Article
Yeates, P., Cardell, J., Byrne, G., & Eva, K. W. (2015). Relatively speaking: contrast effects influence assessors’ scores and narrative feedback. Medical Education, 49(9), 909-919. https://doi.org/10.1111/medu.12777

Context In prior research, the scores assessors assign can be biased away from the standard of preceding performances (i.e. ‘contrast effects’ occur). Objectives This study examines the mechanism and robustness of these findings to advance under...

We review the distribution, timing and probable causes of ~8000 onshore UK seismic events between the years 1970–2012. Of 1769 onshore seismic events with local magnitudes (ML) = 1.5, we estimate at least ~21% of these have an anthropogenic origin, a...
