People with neurological conditions experience higher rates of depression than those in other patient groups without neurological conditions. Decreased social activities contribute to the continuation and exacerbation of depression through a loss of contact with contingencies that were previously reinforcing and mood enhancing. Conversely, engagement in social and leisure activities for people with multiple sclerosis promotes…Continue Reading Behavioural activation treatment for depression in individuals with neurological conditions: a systematic review

Extending the Role of Analogies in the Teaching of Physics
Research in physics teaching has supported the use of analogies as an effective instructional tool that can be used to facilitate students’ understanding of physics concepts. The effectiveness of analogies lies in that they allow students to form cognitive links between what they already know and what they are learning, harmoniously integrating, in this way,…Continue Reading Extending the Role of Analogies in the Teaching of Physics
To be or not to be phenomenology: that is the question
Recent years have seen a burgeoning in phenomenological research on sport, physical cultures and exercise. As editors and reviewers, however, we frequently and consistently see social science articles that claim to be ‘phenomenological’ or to use phenomenology, but the reasons for such claims are not always evident. Indeed, on closer reading, many such claims…Continue Reading To be or not to be phenomenology: that is the question
The role of intuitive moral foundations in Britain’s vote on EU membership
In June 2016, British voters took part in a referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union (EU). By a margin of 52% to 48%, they voted to leave. Studies have demonstrated that fixed demographic factors were the best predictors of voting intentions in either direction, or that “leave” voters were driven by…Continue Reading The role of intuitive moral foundations in Britain’s vote on EU membership
The Ethics of Technology choice: Photovoice methodology with men living in low-income contexts
This article describes a two-phased reflexive ethical process initiated when choosing digital cameras for the photovoice method in research with men living in low income contexts. While this participatory method aims to flatten power asymmetries in researcher-researched relationships, debate is needed about how pragmatic technology choices may inadvertently underscore or even reinforce participants’ situated experiences…Continue Reading The Ethics of Technology choice: Photovoice methodology with men living in low-income contexts
Ethical considerations in prehospital ambulance based research: qualitative interview study of expert informants
Prehospital ambulance based research has unique ethical considerations due to urgency, time limitations and the locations involved. We sought to explore these issues through interviews with experts in this research field. We undertook semi-structured interviews with expert informants, primarily based in the UK, seeking their views and experiences of ethics in ambulance based clinical research….Continue Reading Ethical considerations in prehospital ambulance based research: qualitative interview study of expert informants

A balancing act: Agency and constraints in university students’ understanding of and responses to sexual violence in the night-time economy
This paper extends our understanding of how university students make sense of, and respond to, sexual violence in the night-time economy (NTE). Based on semi-structured interviews with 26 students in a city in England, we examine students’ constructions of their experiences of sexual violence within the NTE, exploring their negotiations with, and resistance to, this…Continue Reading A balancing act: Agency and constraints in university students’ understanding of and responses to sexual violence in the night-time economy
Removing Hand Form Information Specifically Impairs Emotion Recognition for Fearful and Angry Body Stimuli
Emotion perception research has largely been dominated by work on facial expressions, but emotion is also strongly conveyed from the body. Research exploring emotion recognition from the body tends to refer to “the body” as a whole entity. However, the body is made up of different components (hands, arms, trunk, etc.), all of which could…Continue Reading Removing Hand Form Information Specifically Impairs Emotion Recognition for Fearful and Angry Body Stimuli
