Past research has indicated that people have the tendency to view common behaviours as more morally desirable and reflective of how things should be than uncommon behaviours (e.g., Eriksson et al., 2015; Lindström et al., 2018; Tworek & Cimpian, 2016). The present study seeks to explore this phenomenon (henceforth referred to as the Commonness Effect), extending the current research in the following ways: - Firstly, we are interested in how the Commonness Effect translates across different contexts (real-world scenarios vs. fictional vignettes), types of manipulations (statistics vs. case studies), and types of judgments (broad-sweeping judgments about people in general vs. specific judgments about an individual). To explore this, we will examine the same list of behaviours within the following two projects (run concurrently):  (1) Vignette Study: participants will be presented with scenarios describing behaviours within a fictional community and asked to judge how a member of that community should, ought, must, etc. behave, and whether it is morally right and good to do so.  (2) Graph Study: participants will be presented with research findings from a ‘previous study’ describing the prevalence of behaviours in the current day and asked to judge how people in general should, ought, must, etc. behave, and whether it is morally right and good to do so. - Secondly, we are interested in how the Commonness Effect can be strengthened or weakened, depending on how people engage with social information. As is outlined in the following pre-registration, we are interested in whether the Commonness Effect can be lessened by prompting individuals to consider alternative possibilities prior to judgment (thus, thinking reflectively and openly) or strengthened by prompting individuals to concentrate on the target behaviour prior to judgment (thus, thinking narrowly).

This study investigates the impact of extended COVID-19 lockdown in Australia on social interactions and loneliness. Loneliness, a negative feeling arising from unfulfilled social needs, is associated with the frequency, quality, and type of a person’s social interactions. We are interested in exploring the nature of these social experiences during a period when Australia went in and out of lockdown — a government order characterised by stay-at-home orders and other restrictions — and investigating whether lockdown affects the temporal association between social interactions and loneliness.

Systematic literature review and meta-synthesis:Influenced by theories of intersectionality, performativity and gender hegemony, the review explored the intersection of autism and gender in the negotiation of identity for individuals who identified as autistic. Purposefully not restricted to any one gender category so as to be able to interrogate gender as a construct, a systematic search for qualitative research found 12 studies. Meta-synthesis involved a constructionist approach to thematic synthesis. Findings related to the ways in which dominant autism discourses restricted gender identities; the positioning of gendered autistic identities as subordinate and ���other��� within hierarchies of power; and the possibilities for finding spaces of belonging and resistance to normative expectations. Findings are considered in relation to critical autism scholarship, feminist and queer theory, and clinical implications. The review was original in its inclusive approach to gender and contribution to critical theory on autism and gender.Research report:Most existing literature on the subject of ���female autism��� has extended unproblematised dominant medical-model conceptualisations of autism. This study developed a critique of ���female autism��� as a concept. Using a Foucauldian discourse analysis of reports and resources provided by UK-based clinicians, it examined how ���female autism��� is constructed in professional practices. The analysis drew out a narrative of ���female autism��� as progress in terms of medical-scientific knowledge, gender equality and the prospects for women and girls recognised as autistic, before problematising this narrative by focusing on power, institutional interests and ideology. I argue that ���female autism��� extends the reach of the expert gaze through expanding the category of autism into previously un-pathologised territory, while reinforcing hegemonic, binary understandings of gender. The biopolitics of autism, Hacking���s ���looping effect��� and feminist theory are discussed.
