We conducted two framing experiments to test how downplaying femicide frames affect readers' reactions. Results of Study 1 (Germany,  = 158) indicate that emotional reactions were increased when a femicide was labeled as "murder" compared to "domestic drama." This effect was strongest among individuals with high hostile sexism. Study 2 (U.S.,  = 207), revealed that male compared to female readers perceived a male perpetrator more as a loving person when the crime was labeled as "love killing" compared to "murder." This tendency was linked to higher victim blaming. We recommend reporting guidelines to overcome the trivialization of femicides.

Science and technology in Turner's Georgian dentist's rooms.

Br Dent J

March 2005

Queen Anne House, 2a St Andrew Street, Hertford, SG14 1JA.

Turner's painting of a dental surgeon's rooms, discussed in the first of these two papers,(1) is a very satisfying work of art, successful in its relaying of a domestic drama, and also fulfilling Payne Knight's commission to produce a work to equal that of the older masters. It cannot, though, be relied upon to show us what a late Georgian dentist's rooms actually looked like. For this we are very fortunate to have Turner's sketchbook, with its preparatory drawings for the painting.
