Journal Article
Osburg, V.-S., Strack, M., & Toporowski, W. (2016). Consumer acceptance of Wood-Polymer Composites: a conjoint analytical approach with a focus on innovative and environmentally concerned consumers. Journal of cleaner production, 110(January), 180-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2015.04.086

Wood-Polymer Composites (WPCs) can contribute towards resource efficiency as they mainly consist of wood by-products and/or waste materials. The eco-innovative materials represent a hybrid solution on the ‘two-evils’ continuum’ constituted by the com...

Rapid temporal accumulation in spider fear: Evidence from hierarchical drift diffusion modelling. (2015)
Journal Article
Tipples, J. (2015). Rapid temporal accumulation in spider fear: Evidence from hierarchical drift diffusion modelling. Emotion, 15(6), 742-750. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0000079

Fear can distort our sense of time – making time seem slow or even stand still. Here, I used Hierarchical Drift Diffusion Modelling (HDDM; Vandekerckhove, Tuerlinckx, & Lee, 2008, 2011; Wiecki, Sofer, & Frank, 2013) to test the idea that temporal acc...
