Event Centrality in Moral Injury
No full textStudies of trauma- and stressor-related disorders indicate that discrepant life events can become an internal reference point, with Berntsen and Rubin’s (2006) study of event centrality identifying traumatic event salience as predictive of PTSD symptom severity and depression. Event centrality has not been studied in relation to moral injury, though event salience may be predictive of moral distress. This study will examine hypothesized relationships between the severity of moral distress following a potentially morally injurious event and event centrality
Effects of visual complexity and production effort on overspecification
No full textIn this experiment, we investigate the relationship between overspecification and production effort on the one hand and visual complexity on the other hand. Production effort is operationalized as either typing on a normal keyboard (easy) or using a virtual keyboard with an unfamiliar randomly generated layout (hard). Visual complexity is operationalized as the number of features on which items in the display differ. We hypothesize that higher visual complexity will lead to an increase in overspecification, which would be in line with Koolen et al. (2013) who showed that participants redundantly used color more when the scene was more complex. We also hypothesize that higher production cost will reduce overspecification, which would be in line with rational models of language production (e.g. Goodman & Frank (2016)). There may also be an interaction between the production cost and visual complexity
Examining Therapists’ and Clients’ Contributions to Systemic Dimensions of Multiple Alliances in Family Treatment
No full textThe current study examines dyadic alliances (relationship between the therapist and one client) and systemic alliances (relationship with and among multiple clients) in home-based family treatment. This was done by viewing both the quality of these alliances and the frequency of alliance behaviors exhibited by the therapists and clients during 31 treatment sessions. These alliance behaviors were observed and the quality of alliance assessed using the System for Observing Family Therapy Alliances (SOFTA-o; Friedlander et al., 2006). Our study explores three research questions: 1) To what extent is the quality of alliance associated with different frequencies of observed alliance behaviors? 2) To what extent do the therapists’ alliance quality and frequency of alliance behaviors differ depending on the alliance dimension (dyadic alliances versus systemic alliances)? 3) To what extent is the within-family alliance shaped primarily by the clients? The analyses is performed primarily by the first author, Andrea Bunge. At the time of publishing the preregistration, the dataset was briefly viewed in order to choose appropriate methods, however, no analyses have been performed.

Support and training needs of health care professionals in medical rehabilitation
No full textThe INFORM project is carried out as a mixed-methods study with both qualitative and quantitative methods, using moderated group discussions and guided individual interviews as well as a standardized online-survey.
First, profession-specific online-discussions are carried out with staff working clinically in medical rehabilitation to determine their specific needs in terms of rehabilitation-related skills which are required but may not have been adequately learned during qualification (work package 1). This is followed by group discussions within the interprofessional rehabilitation teams at the rehabilitation facilities to evaluate their common needs regarding interprofessional collaboration as well as implications for joint training offers in medical rehabilitation (work package 2). In order to determine the view of the clinical/administrative management on further training needs of the rehabilitation team or each of the profession-groups, guided individual interviews are conducted with the management (work package 3). Finally, the project will be finished with an anonymous online-survey in which the qualitative results from the group discussions and interviews are to be quantified and verified using a questionnaire which will be distributed among staff from the various health professions in medical rehabilitation (work package 4)
Attributions of sexism: The role of sexism-based attitudes, perceived prior probabilities, and interaction sex pairings
No full textThe current study builds on prior research by Grawitch, Lavigne, and Mudigonda (2022) to more deeply examine the factors that relate to sexism attributions in different situations. Grawitch et al. found that in ambiguous situations, attributions of sexism varied as a function of the sex of interactants. Specifically, when the male was the predominant message sender and the female was the message receiver, the interaction was rated as much more sexist than in other conditions. However, across their three studies, when the female was the message sender and the male was the message receiver, the interaction was rated as more sexist than in same-sex conditions. They further found that respondents’ neosexism scores moderated the effects, with those possessing lower neosexism scores reporting higher sexism ratings in the male-female condition than those with higher neosexism scores.
This study seeks to extend these results in three important ways. First, although the current study will utilize the same scenario used by Grawitch et al., it will also include a second scenario so that ratings across the scenarios can be compared. This was identified by Grawitch et al. as an important need to establish the generalizability of the results across different ambiguous situations.
Second, the current study will include an assessment of priors in addition to a neosexism assessment. We expect to see at least moderate associations between neosexism scores and self-report prior probabilities of male sexism. We further expect that prior probabilities will be associated with differences in sexism ratings in opposite-sex interactions.
Finally, Grawitch et al. included on ratings as their dependent variables (i.e., sexism, interaction favorability). Although ratings are important, decisions and their resulting actions are often more binary (e.g., to act or not to act) or nominal (e.g., option A or option B or option C) in nature. As such, the current study assesses the degree to which both prior probabilities and neosexism scores relate to the actual decision choice respondents would make in the relevant situation
Relationship between two kinds of visual complexity and overspecification
No full textIn this task, we investigate the effect of two aspects of visual complexity on overspecification: scene variation in terms of the number of features present and scene complexity in terms of sortedness of the items in the display. We hypothesize that in both cases, an increase in complexity will lead to more overspecification as scanning the whole display for differences will become more effortful; there is also a possibility that those two sources of visual complexity interact with each other

Extended Reality Policy Scoping Review: Are Current Policies, Legislation, Guidelines and Strategies fit for Purpose for Safeguarding and Prevention of Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in eXtended Reality Environments?
No full textChild sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA), also sometimes referred to as child sexual exploitation (CSE) or child sexual abuse (CSA), has been reported to be a prevalent and widespread phenomenon, with increasing numbers being detected and reported over the past 10 years (UN, 2020; Laird et al., 2020). Evidence has also been increasing regarding negative health, psychosocial and developmental sequalae associated with CSEA (Matthews & Collins-Vezina, 2019; Danese & Tan, 2014; Hailes et al., 2019). In the context of the rapid development of immersive ‘eXtended Reality’ (XR) technologies, which serve to 'blur the line between the real world and virtual environments' (Huang, 2022: 472), including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR), there has been concern about the potential for increased CSEA offending and victimisation.
Understanding the development and design of these environments alongside the potential safeguarding implications is crucial especially for ensuring current policy, legislation, strategies and guidance for safeguarding and prevention of CSEA across the UK are fit for purpose to respond to XR environments. There is also a need to ensure subsequent development of efficient and effective policy, guidance, strategies and legislation around safeguarding and prevention is evidence-informed in relation to protecting children in XR environments.
Based on the above, we are looking to assess whether existing legislation, policy, guidelines and strategies issued across the UK are fit for purpose or whether there are key gaps emerging that may hinder effective safeguarding and prevention in XR environments and thus require revision/updates. More specifically, we are focusing on exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the aforementioned legislation, policies and guidelines on the issue of detection, prevention and response of CSEA in XR environments
