Attribution theories suggest that when assessing an individual's actions, judgments are made about the cause of these behaviours and often these judgments focus on internal or external causal explanations. The current research investigated the effect... Read More about Investigating the Influence of Causal Attributions on Both the Worksheet and Checklist Versions of the HCR-20.

Applying the revenge system to the criminal justice system and jury decision-making (2012)
Journal Article
Roberts, S. C., & Murray, J. (2013). Applying the revenge system to the criminal justice system and jury decision-making. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 36(01), 34-35. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x12000581

McCullough et al. propose an evolved cognitive revenge system which imposes retaliatory costs on aggressors. They distinguish between this and other forms of punishment (e.g., administered by judges) which are not underpinned by a specifically-design...

Background: Allied Health Professionals today are required, more than ever before, to demonstrate their impact.
However, despite at least 20 years of expectation, many services fail to deliver routine outcome measurement in
practice. This systemati... Read More about The barriers and facilitators to routine outcome measurement by allied health professionals in practice: a systematic review.

Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance (2011)
Journal Article
Riby, L., Law, A., McLaughlin, J., & Murray, J. (2011). Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance. Nutrition Research, 31, 370-377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nutres.2011.04.003

Previous research has found that the ingestion of glucose boosts task performance in the memory
domain (including tasks tapping episodic, semantic, and working memory). The present pilot study
tested the hypothesis that glucose ingestion would enha... Read More about Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance.
