Data set: Overheating concern in parents and non-parents
No full textThese four csv files are the result of an online study run on Prolific in September 2021 with particpants in the UK and the US. The PDF show the actual survey questions and answers (one for the UK, one for the US). Please see the preregistration for further details. Huebner, G. (2021, September 17). Overheating in homes.

Lincoln and the Constitution: Presentation by Dr. Timothy S. Huebner
No full textDr. Huebner speaks on the way that Lincoln struggled with, and found ways to surmount, three major constitutional issues – the legitimacy of secession, the constitutionality of the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in wartime, and the legality of emancipation – and how his struggles demonstrated his belief that a vigorous Union would promote and protect the ideals embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Includes text document with selected, relevant quotations from Lincoln. Dr. Huebner is the author of several books on American law, courts, and the Constitution, including The Taney Court: Justices, Rulings and Legacy, and is co-editor and contributor to Major Problems in American Constitutional History

The role of parenthood in worry about overheating in homes in the UK and the US and implications for energy use: An online survey study
No full textClimate change brings an increase in temperatures and a higher frequency of heatwaves. Both have been linked to a rise in suicide rates and violent crime on a population level. However, little is known about the link between mental health and ambient temperatures on an individual level and for particular subgroups. Overheating poses health risks to children and disturbs sleep; leading to the expectation that parents are more worried about their homes getting too hot than non-parents. Two online survey studies (N = 1000 each) were conducted in the UK and the US to understand to what extent parents and an age-matched comparison group without children are worried about overheating and how they differ in their mitigation actions. Findings did not support the main hypotheses around greater overheating worry amongst parents in general, mothers or those with very young children. However, parents indicated a greater likelihood to upgrade or install air-conditioning (US) and to get electric fans (UK). Parents in the UK indicated using more mitigation options to cope with overheating than non-parents. Parents in the US, whilst not reporting doing more actions, were more likely to use air-conditioning to deal with overheating than non-parents. Finally, those parents who mentioned health impacts on children as a reason for worry about overheating, were more concerned about overheating than parents who had other reasons than children’s health as a reason for being concerned about overheating. In summary, parental status might have implications for cooling energy use and concern for children’s health might increase overheating worry; however, many open questions remain
The relationship between calls to NHS mental health hotlines and ambient temperatures
No full textThis project addresses the questions if the number of calls to NHS mental health hotlines increases with higher ambient temperatures. To this end, I have sent Freedom of Information requests to all mental health trusts in England and asked for the number of daily calls to their mental health hotlines (emails were sent from 7th of March onwards)
