Despite the increase in studies that investigate the level of complexity in causal explanations that people prefer in laboratory tasks, little is known about their preferences in more applied domains (e.g. the legal system). When participants evaluated competing legal explanations of the same evidence, their preferences for complexity of explanations were affected by: i) whether they were required to graphically represent the competing explanations as visual causal models, and ii) the way they organised information into the actual structure that was drawn. Although previous research has shown that people can reason correctly about causality, these findings are amongst the few that show that generating and drawing causal models directly affects people’s evaluations of explanations.

Reducing reoffending is an extremely important issue in research, policy, and practice; not only to improve the future outcomes for individuals who have offended but to also decrease potential risk in the community. The aim of this paper is to critically discuss the contribution of self–determination theory (SDT) and the good lives model (GLM) to reducing reoffending. Firstly, this paper will consider different definitions of 'reoffending’ before SDT is discussed. Then, the GLM will be examined and, finally, intervention programmes (informed by both SDT and GLM) aimed at reducing reoffending will be critiqued before this paper is concluded.

The Covid–19 pandemic has demonstrated the desire of government to implement evidence–based behavioural policies. However, questions still remain as to how scientists communicate effectively with policymakers. Ferguson (2015) discusses the contributory role of public mistrust in psychological science, due to internal issues such as the replication crisis and questionable research practices. I suggest that there is a more fundamental disconnect between psychologists and policymakers. More pertinent barriers to effective communication are the differential aims of understanding versus influencing behaviour, and the tension between maintaining objectivity and engaging with advocacy.

If the past year has taught us anything, it is that we need to be adaptable in our approach to research. In this article we detail the experiences and advice given by experts during the NIBPS 2021 postgraduate workshop. Speakers discussed how they creatively overcame challenges presented to them by the pandemic. We also use this opportunity to share our own experiences of organising a workshop and provide some tips we learned along the way, as well as information regarding PsyPAG workshop funding.

Mental health research aims to improve our understanding of illnesses, provide better preventative approaches, enhance diagnosis and treatment strategies, increase our understanding of biological markers of disorders, and progress our knowledge of co-morbidities between physical and mental health. A need exists to engage researchers in undertaking work in this field, however we rarely consider the barriers in place for a non-clinical researcher working in the mental health environment. This article aims to reflect on barriers to conducting research as a non-clinical researcher in a clinical mental health setting and to consider approaches to overcoming these barriers.

Although typical journal publications take the form of research articles, there are other avenues to publishing that might help with building up your CV or immersing yourself in research. I recently wrote a critical commentary after coming across an article that I had some objections towards. The process was both interesting and educational, and commentaries can be an important step in facilitating dialogues between researchers. Here, I have summarised my hints and tips to help others who might consider this route to publishing.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the increasing burden on mental health and well- being require new ways of supporting families that have to maintain the new norms of social distancing. Many families may be under enormous amounts of stress and anxiety caused by losing their loved ones. Therefore, there is a great need to search for ways to minimize the effects of COVID-19 on mental health and well-being. The purpose of the research is to evaluate a yoga intervention offered online to school-aged children in the U.K. by Patanjali Yog Peeth Trust U.K. (PYPT) and evaluate its effectiveness by interviewing the parents of participating children. The project will seek to promote an additional tool in managing mental health and well-being in school-aged children. The research will use a mixed-methods approach. Parents will be approached by a PYPT yoga teacher and invited to complete an online survey and quantitative interview. Parents (over 18 years) of school-aged children (5-16 years) who live in the U.K. are eligible to take part. Upon gaining consent, participates will be asked to complete a parent and child characteristic questionnaire. An SDQ survey for parents via online Opinio and a subsample will be interviewed using a structured interview schedule. All analyses will be carried out in SPSS. It is intended that the research will provide an evidence base that will aid future studies and inform in developing yoga interventions that may aid in promoting child mental health and well-being. The study results will be published in peer-reviewed international journals; the researchers will also present the results at governmental conferences.
COVID-19的迅速传播以及心理健康和福祉负担的日益加重，需要以新的方式支持必须保持社交距离新规范的家庭。许多家庭可能因失去亲人而承受着巨大的压力和焦虑。因此，迫切需要寻找方法，尽量减少COVID-19对心理健康和福祉的影响。本研究的目的是评估Patanjali yoga Peeth Trust uk (PYPT)为英国学龄儿童提供的在线瑜伽干预，并通过采访参与儿童的父母来评估其有效性。该项目将寻求推广一种管理学龄儿童心理健康和福祉的额外工具。这项研究将采用混合方法。一名PYPT瑜伽老师将与家长接触，并邀请他们完成在线调查和定量访谈。居住在英国的学龄儿童(5-16岁)的父母(18岁以上)有资格参加。在获得同意后，参与者将被要求完成一份父母和孩子特征问卷。通过在线Opinio对家长进行SDQ调查，并使用结构化访谈时间表对子样本进行访谈。所有的分析将在SPSS中进行。该研究旨在为未来的研究提供证据基础，并为制定有助于促进儿童心理健康和福祉的瑜伽干预措施提供信息。研究结果将发表在同行评议的国际期刊上;研究人员还将在政府会议上展示研究结果。

The initial plan for my MSc research – which explores if metacognitive measures can predict accuracy in children – was to recruit child participants in schools. However, Covid-19 meant that I needed to pivot to online testing. Children (aged four to eight) completed a memory task while I guided and recorded the session via Zoom. Here, I reflect on my experiences and consider empirical evidence about experimenter effects in virtual studies. Specifically, should the experimenter have their camera turned on or off? Research suggests there are advantages and disadvantages for both methods, presenting a novel challenge for conducting virtual studies with children.
