On Feeling Torn About One’s Sexuality
No full textThree studies offer novel evidence addressing the consequences of explicit–implicit sexual orientation (SO) ambivalence. In Study 1, self-identified straight females completed explicit and implicit measures of SO. The results revealed that participants with greater SO ambivalence took longer responding to explicit questions about their sexual preferences, an effect moderated by the direction of ambivalence. Study 2 replicated this effect using a different paradigm. Study 3 included self-identified straight and gay female and male participants; participants completed explicit and implicit measures of SO, plus measures of self-esteem and affect regarding their SO. Among straight participants, the response time results replicated the findings of Studies 1 and 2. Among gay participants, trends suggested that SO ambivalence influenced time spent deliberating on explicit questions relevant to sexuality, but in a different way. Furthermore, the amount and direction of SO ambivalence was related to self-esteem
On feeling torn about one’s sexuality: the effects of explicit-implicit sexual orientation ambivalence
No full textThis research addressed the consequences of explicit-implicit sexual orientation (SO) ambivalence in samples of straight- and gay-identified individuals. Study 1
revealed worse psychological health among straight-identified individuals with greater SO ambivalence. Further, greater SO ambivalence was linked with negative
self-identity, an effect moderated by the direction of ambivalence. Given these negative psychological effects, the research aimed to investigate how individuals
resolved their ambivalence via the processing of relevant information. In Studies 1 and 2 straight-identified individuals with greater SO ambivalence took longer to
respond to direct questions on sexuality, an effect moderated by the direction of ambivalence. In an additional sample of straight-identified individuals, Study 3 confirmed the robustness of these effects by replicating the same pattern of findings using an established measure of systematic processing, thought
elaboration. Study 3 also demonstrated the impact of anti-gay attitudes on the processing of information relevant to SO.
In samples of gay-identified individuals, Studies 4 and 5 demonstrated that individual differences in SO ambivalence also impacted the processing of direct
questions on sexuality, but in ways that differed to straight-identified individuals. Individual differences in SO ambivalence also related to well-being, stigma, and
out-group discrimination. Additionally, for gay-identified individuals, the research considered implications of discrepant explicit-implicit evaluations towards one’s SO. Discrepant explicit-implicit evaluations of SO related to discrepant self-esteem
and smaller actual-ideal discrepancies. Further, a number of negative outcomes were observed when gay-identified individuals reported being positive towards
their SO whilst being somewhat more negative towards it on the implicit measure. Study 6 examined wider implications of SO ambivalence in a further sample
of straight-identified individuals. The findings showed that information relevant to SO ambivalence is communicated non-verbally, and that the experience of SO
ambivalence moderates the ability to detect such information

Martin Loughlin, Public Law and Political Theory
No full textIn this chapter, Ben Yong discusses Martin Loughlin’s Public Law and Political Theory. Drawing in part on conversation with the author, Yong explores the significance of a book that, despite interrogating the nature of public law as a discipline in a novel and methodologically important way, is often poorly understood

Occupation-specific suicide risk in England:2011-2015
No full textBackground: Previous research has documented marked occupational differences in suicide risk, but these estimates are 10 years out-of-date and were based on potentially biased assessments of risk. Aims: To investigate occupation-specific suicide mortality risk in England 2011-2015.Method: Estimation of indirectly standardized mortality rates for occupations and occupational groups based on national (Office for National Statistics) data for England. Results: Among males the highest risks were seen in low-skilled occupations, particularly construction workers (SMR 369, 95% CI 333-409); low skilled workers comprised 17% (1,784/10,688) of all male suicides. High risks were also seen among call and contact centre workers (SMR 290, CI 204-399); there was no evidence of increased risk among some occupations previously causing concern - male health care professionals and farmers. Among females the highest risks were seen in artists (SMR, 399 CI 244-616) and bar staff (SMR 182, CI 123-260); nurses also had an increased risk (SMR 123, CI 104-145). People in creative occupations and the entertainment industry: artists (males and females), musicians (males) and actors (males) were all at increased risk, though the absolute numbers of deaths in these occupations were low. In both males (SMR 192, CI 165-221) and females (SMR 170, CI 149-194), care workers were at increased risk and experienced a considerable number of suicide deaths. Conclusions: Specific contributors to suicide in high-risk occupations should be identified and measures, such as workplace-based interventions put in place to mitigate this risk. The construction industry seems to be an important target for preventive interventions.Declaration of interest: Non
