Mansour, Jamal K.; Hamilton, Claire M.; Gibson, Matthew T. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
We examined the role of exposure duration and scene complexity on the weapon focus effect (WFE). Memory for the mock crime was affected more by a weapon than an unusual but nonthreatening object. Threat reduced correct identifications when the event was short but not long; duration of the event did not interact with unusualness. Additionally, we…

Landrum, Timothy J.; Sweigart, Chris A.; Collins, Lauren W. – Educational Leadership, 2019
It's hard to imagine anything more devastating than a deadly shooting at a school.

Between 1999 and 2018, 210 shootings have occurred on public school campuses in the United States. The increased need for security and student support may crowd out instructional resources post-shooting. Shootings may also cause students, especially those from socioeconomically advantaged backgrounds, to move away, leading to declines in…

Webster, Russell J.; Vasturia, Dominic; Saucier, Donald A. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
People who report greater belief in pure evil (BPE; the tendency to attribute harmdoing to dispositionally sadistic perpetrators) generally punish criminal perpetrators more regardless of mitigating circumstances (e.g., having a brain tumor). What attributional/cognitive processes underlie such punishment? A national sample (final N = 302) read an…
