As researchers, we are often aware of the importance of sharing key findings within the scientific community. However, it is just as important to think about how we discuss science with the wider public, especially as they are often the people who make up our participant samples. Keeping the public informed of psychological research findings also enables us to keep science open and accessible to all. In this article, I discuss some of my experiences of getting involved with public engagement opportunities (Soapbox Science, I’m a Scientist, and Letters to a Prescientist), and some of the potential benefits.
作为研究人员,我们经常意识到在科学界分享关键发现的重要性。然而,考虑我们如何与更广泛的公众讨论科学也同样重要,特别是因为他们通常是构成我们的参与者样本的人。让公众了解心理学研究成果也使我们能够保持科学的开放性和可及性。在本文中,我将讨论我参与公共参与机会的一些经验(Soapbox Science, I’m a Scientist, and Letters to a Prescientist),以及一些潜在的好处。

Pathological demand avoidance is a term first used by Elizabeth Newson in 1983, describing a pattern of behavioural traits found to be common amongst individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Research has drawn comparisons between pathological demand avoidance and personality disorders, suggesting co-morbidity. This literature review identifies gaps in current research and highlights the debate about pathological demand avoidance as a subset of autism, or as a separate condition. More research is needed in this field to avoid misdiagnosis of this condition with personality disorders and to improve the educational provision for children with pathological demand avoidance in our schools.

The International Conference on Behavioural Addiction is organised by the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Addictions (ISSBA) every year. The conference is a great opportunity to meet other researchers within the field of behavioural addictions, discuss your research, and learn about discoveries within the field. This year, it was organised by Professor Susumu Higuchi and Professor Zsolt Demetrovics in Yokohama, Japan, and held between the 17 and 19 of June. This conference was a great opportunity to explore new areas of behavioural addiction and get up-to-date within areas I already knew of. Furthermore, attending this conference allowed me to meet researchers from all over the world and build some very interesting connections.

The climate emergency requires prompt, wide-scale, all-encompassing action. Here, we discuss how insights from behavioural economics and decision-making have been applied to the fight against climate change in the form of ‘green nudges’, or behavioural interventions prompting individuals to make more environmentally friendly choices. We further consider how the potential positive impact of green nudges can be maximised and sketch out future steps in the field of green nudging based on a framework which considers the characteristics of targeted behaviours, such as scale of impact, susceptibility to intervention, and heterogeneity across the population.

During my PhD, I have faced challenges navigating the boundaries between my role as a researcher and my previous experience as a clinician. In this article, I have applied Gibb’s (1988) six-stage reflective cycle to explore issues related to the management of risk information (i.e. suicidal ideation, self-harm) which I encountered during my PhD research (specifically when conducting qualitative interviews with parents of children with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). On the basis of this reflection, I present an action plan to assist researchers in managing risks that become apparent within research contexts.This article includes discussions of sensitive topics such as suicide and self-harm.

There is a lack of the up-to-date literature on discrimination in the UK in general, but student groups seem particularly excluded within this research topic. Following the reported increases in discrimination in light of Brexit and Covid-19, this article discusses the implications of this issue on student mental health in the UK, and how my own PhD project is addressing this literature gap.

The Male Psychology Section was established in 2018. The section highlights the need to approach some issues in psychology from the gender perspective, promoting unity in diversity and respect for differences, and supports efforts to create gender-friendly mental health services. The chair of Male Psychology, Dr John Barry was invited to Glasgow to give a talk about gender bias and ‘toxic masculinity’ in relation to what is generally addressed as the ‘Glasgow Effect’. The Male Psychology is a fresh section of the BPS and welcomes questions and interest form students at all levels.

The public health approach to youth violence is an approach to violent offending that addresses the antecedents of criminal behaviour. In contrast to criminal justice approaches that apply punitive measures to reduce violent offending, the public health approach highlights the role of intervention and rehabilitation. The stages through which the public health approach is applied to juvenile crime share many features with the development of treatments for psychological disorders. This article will highlight the role psychology can play in informing the public health approach to youth violence and ensuring the efficacy of interventions to reduce violent criminal behaviour.
