An Ecological Approach to Conceptual Thinking in Material Engagement

Author(s): Alessandroni N; Malafouris L; Gallagher S;

Although post-cognitivist approaches have shaken the status quo by emphasising the dynamic interactions among the brain, the body, and the environment in cognition, mainstream psychological theories continue to view concepts as primarily representational or skull-bound mental phenomena. As a result, the dynamics of action and the possible impact of materi ...

Games researchers play: conceptual advancement versus validation strategies

Author(s): Dubois F; R Peres-Neto P;

Conceptual advances and validation are critical to research, yet at odds. Using a game theoretical perspective, we show that a mixed strategy combining advances and validation, leads to increases in both individual researchers' and societal gains. This win-win outcome can be used to design new research strategies, funding, and recognition standards.

Self-Continuity Moderates the Association Between Sexual-Minority Status Based Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms

Author(s): Martin-Storey A; Recchia HE; Santo JB;

Self-continuity, or how an individual understands their sense of self as persisting from past to present and present to future, is an important aspect of the self-concept that is linked to mental health outcomes. This self-concept construct may be particularly pertinent for sexual minority populations, as living in a heterosexist environment may prove det ...
