Virtual morality in the helping professions: Simulated action and resilience (2017)
Journal Article
Francis, K. B., Gummerum, M., Ganis, G., Howard, I. S., & Terbeck, S. (2018). Virtual morality in the helping professions: Simulated action and resilience. British Journal of Psychology, 109(3), 442 - 465. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12276

Recent advances in virtual technologies have allowed the investigation of simulated moral actions in aversive moral dilemmas. Previous studies have employed diverse populations to explore these actions, with little research considering the significan...

Most democratic states tolerate, to various extents, conscientious objection. The same states tend not to tolerate acts of civil disobedience and what they perceive as selective conscientious objection. In this paper it is claimed that the dichotomy...

In order to assess and understand human behavior, traditional approaches to experimental design incorporate testing tools that are often artificial and devoid of corporeal features. Whilst these offer experimental control in situations in which, meth... Read More about Thinkering through experiments: Nurturing transdisciplinary approaches to the design of testing tools.

Two cases of spinal muscular atrophy type II with eosinophilic oesophagitis (2017)
Journal Article

Although primarily characterised by loss of motor neurons from the anterior horn of spinal cord and muscle atrophy, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is now recognised as a multi-systemic disorder. Here, we report two SMA Type II patients with eosinophil... Read More about Two cases of spinal muscular atrophy type II with eosinophilic oesophagitis.

The sensitivity of breeding songbirds to changes in seasonal timing is linked to population change but cannot be directly attributed to the effects of trophic asynchrony on productivity (2017)
Journal Article
