Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) is a perceptual disorder reported to affect 1–3 per cent of the population, usually in childhood. Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is associated with similar symptoms to AIWS, reported into adulthood. ASMR is also thought to stem from a heightened sensitivity to external stimuli. Despite similarities, there has been limited research investigating the link between these two phenomena. We sought to establish a link between AIWS and ASMR. Our findings show an increased presence of AIWS symptoms amongst a population who are aware of experiencing ASMR. We described a predictive relationship between the visual symptoms of AIWS and the age of onset of ASMR. ASMR has an increasing presence and is suggested as an intervention for a range of disorders. Despite this, there remains little understanding of its causation. These findings provide an important basis for establishing the causation of ASMR as well as furthering understanding of AIWS.

The PsyPAG 34th Annual Conference 2019 took place from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 July 2019 at Sheffield Hallam University. This year, the focus of the conference was to promote the health and wellbeing of delegates while they had the opportunity to meet, network and share their research with peers. PsyPAG 2019 was a wonderful, challenging and reflective week, where I had the opportunity to share my research, learn of other people’s work, and also discuss the challenges of postgraduate study with like-minded people.

Hare’s (2003) Psychopathy Checklist – Revised (PCL-R) comprises a 20-item checklist designed to assess the clinical construct of psychopathy. There is research to show that the PCL-R has impressive predictive validity for offending behaviour, and this has led some to suggest that psychopathy is the most important single component to measure when assessing risk of offending behaviour and likely response to treatment. Here I consider and critique the evidence for and against this argument.

Conferences in academia are unique spaces. They can be enriching and exciting, filled with a sense of opportunity. However, they can also be overwhelming and daunting. This is especially true in international settings, where cultural differences of social codes are subtle yet pervasive. In this article, I share some insights from my first venture abroad as a first-year PhD student. I offer advice to those preparing for a trip away and reflect on the benefits of international travel as an Early Career Researcher.

Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder encompassing a constellation of behavioural, affective and interpersonal features. This critical review considers the neuroscientific literature in relation to the disorder. The neuroscience of psychopathy is a burgeoning field with promise, both in terms of diagnosis and potential treatment. Akin to any discipline in its early stages, the study of psychopathology is also is fraught with interpretative variation caused by methodological inconsistencies. Moving forward, two issues will be fundamental in the maintenance of momentum in this field: (i) overcoming issues in methodology, and (ii) application of the knowledge gleaned to diverse fields, such as legal ethics and neurogenetics.

The current ethical approach in psychological research gives importance to protecting the physical and psychological safety of participants. This article highlights the need to go beyond the existing ethical standards in order to improve the safety of researchers in psychological research in sensitive topics as well.

Play promotes holistic development in children and is often considered one of their fundamental rights. However, opportunities for play are steadily decreasing in the child’s two main environments, at home and in school. Parents are largely unaware of the value play has. Similarly, teachers are under pressure to provide structured academic activities which leave little time for free play. If it is to be more readily endorsed at a societal level, recognition of the important roleplay has in development is needed at a governmental level. Psychological research supports the need for such significant shifting. Crucially, we must encourage play, both as a home-based leisurely activity and a concrete element of the UK curriculum, in order to enhance our children’s learning.

Guided imagery interventions have a range of applications to affect emotion, thought and behaviour. They may be effectively used by staff with minimal training and are simple and quick to use. Service user involvement is essential in developing a guided imagery intervention. This article provides guidance on how to develop an effective and vivid guided imagery intervention in collaboration with service users. Guidance is also offered on how to administer and review these interventions.
