'Deferred or chickened out?' Decision making among male carers of people with dementia (2015)
Journal Article
Sampson, M., & Clark, A. (2016). 'Deferred or chickened out?' Decision making among male carers of people with dementia. Dementia, 15(6), 1605-1621. https://doi.org/10.1177/1471301214566663

In this paper, we present new insight into the ways in which carers of people with dementia make decisions in the context of seemingly declining autonomy and freedom associated with the condition. Our focus is on the ways in which carers reflect on d... Read More about 'Deferred or chickened out?' Decision making among male carers of people with dementia.

Does IQ really predict job performance? (2015)
Journal Article
Richardson, K., & Norgate, S. (2015). Does IQ really predict job performance?. Applied Developmental Science, 19(3), 153-169. https://doi.org/10.1080/10888691.2014.983635

IQ has played a prominent part in developmental and adult psychology for decades. In the absence of a clear theoretical model of internal cognitive functions, however, construct validity for IQ tests has always been difficult to establish. Test valid...

Controlling viewpoint from markerless head tracking in an immersive ball game using a commodity depth-based camera (2015)
Journal Article
Greuter, S., & Roberts, D. (2015). Controlling viewpoint from markerless head tracking in an immersive ball game using a commodity depth-based camera. Journal of Simulation, 9(1), 54-63. https://doi.org/10.1057/jos.2014.19

We present the use of commodity depth-based cameras to control viewpoint from passive unencumbered head tracking. This allowed participants to maintain correct perspective while playing an immersive computer ball game, without the need to wear device...

The manipulation of midsole properties to alter impact characteristics in walking (2015)
Journal Article
Price, C., Cooper, G., & Jones, R. (2015). The manipulation of midsole properties to alter impact characteristics in walking. Footwear Science, 7(1), 9-16. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2014.983444

The midsole of footwear can provide an opportunity to attenuate the impact at the foot-ground interface. The present study was undertaken to quantify impact in walking in different footwear midsoles, comparing footwear thickness and hardness variatio...

Effect of knee and trunk angle on kinetic variables during the isometric mid-thigh pull : test-retest reliability (2015)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Jones, P., McMahon, J., & Newton, R. (2015). Effect of knee and trunk angle on kinetic variables during the isometric mid-thigh pull : test-retest reliability. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 10(1), 58-63. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2014-0077

The isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) has been used to monitor changes in force, maximum rate of force development (mRFD), and impulse, with performance in this task being associated with performance in athletic tasks. Numerous postures have been adopte... Read More about Effect of knee and trunk angle on kinetic variables during the isometric mid-thigh pull : test-retest reliability.

Compliance with driving instructions following anaesthesia for a day-case procedure (2015)
Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2015). Compliance with driving instructions following anaesthesia for a day-case procedure

The study explored the behaviour of patients driving within 24 hours of a day-case procedure. Although advised not to drive for 24 hours, evidence suggests some patients are non-compliant. Of the 654 questionnaires returned, 3 people drove home follo... Read More about Compliance with driving instructions following anaesthesia for a day-case procedure.

Understanding the distribution of crime victimization using ‘British crime survey’ data: an exercise in statistical reasoning (2015)
Journal Article
Hope, T. (2015). Understanding the distribution of crime victimization using ‘British crime survey’ data: an exercise in statistical reasoning. https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199935383.013.41

This paper focuses upon the question of understanding the data generating process that gives rise to the frequency distribution of crime victimization count data sampled from the British Crime Survey (BCS). Having described the form of this data, the... Read More about Understanding the distribution of crime victimization using ‘British crime survey’ data: an exercise in statistical reasoning.
