The emotion storyboard: A method to examine social judgments of emotion.

PLoS One

July 2024

Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

As perceivers, we need to understand context to make social judgments about emotion, such as judging whether emotion is appropriate. We propose a graphic novel-like method, the emotion storyboard, for use in research on social judgments of emotion. Across two studies, participants were randomly assigned to read emotion storyboards or written vignettes to compare the efficacy of the emotion storyboard to that of vignettes in studies on social judgments of emotion.

Favorable Evaluations of Black and White Women's Workplace Anger During the Era of #MeToo.

Front Psychol

February 2021

Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, United States.

Researchers investigating gender and anger have consistently found that White women, but not White men, are evaluated unfavorably when experiencing anger in the workplace. Our project originally aimed to extend findings on White women's, Black women's, and White men's workplace anger by examining whether evaluations are exacerbated or buffered by invalidating or affirming comments from others. In stark contrast to previous research on gender stereotyping and anger evaluations, however, results across four studies ( = 1,095) showed that both Black and White women portrayed as experiencing anger in the workplace were evaluated than White men doing so.

Mobile devices with health apps, direct-to-consumer genetic testing, crowd-sourced information, and other data sources have enabled research by new classes of researchers. Independent researchers, citizen scientists, patient-directed researchers, self-experimenters, and others are not covered by federal research regulations because they are not recipients of federal financial assistance or conducting research in anticipation of a submission to the FDA for approval of a new drug or medical device. This article addresses the difficult policy challenge of promoting the welfare and interests of research participants, as well as the public, in the absence of regulatory requirements and without discouraging independent, innovative scientific inquiry.

Mobile Research Applications and State Research Laws.

March 2020

Stacey A. Tovino, J.D., Ph.D., is the Judge Jack and Lulu Lehman Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

This article assesses the protections provided by state research laws for participants in mobile application (mobile app) mediated health research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Prior scholarship in this area focuses on the lack of application of: (1) federal regulations governing research conducted or funded by one of sixteen signatory federal departments and agencies (the Common Rule); and (2) separate federal regulations promulgated by the Food and Drug Administration applicable to research conducted in anticipation of a submission to the FDA for approval of a drug or medical device. This article builds on this prior scholarship by carefully examining state research laws and suggesting ways in which these laws could be improved to better protect participants of mobile appmediated research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers.

Stacey A. Tovino, J.D., Ph.D., is the Judge Jack and Lulu Lehman Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

This article focuses on state privacy, security, and data breach regulation of mobile-app mediated health research, concentrating in particular on research studies conducted or participated in by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Prior scholarship addressing these issues tends to focus on the lack of application of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and other sources of federal regulation. One article, however, mentions state law as a possible source of privacy and security protections for individuals in the particular context of mobile app-mediated health research.

Privacy and Security Issues with Mobile Health Research Applications.

J Law Med Ethics

March 2020

Stacey A. Tovino, J.D., Ph.D., is the Judge Jack and Lulu Lehman Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

This article examines the privacy and security issues associated with mobile application-mediated health research, concentrating in particular on research conducted or participated in by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Building on other articles in this issue that examine state research laws and state data protection laws as possible sources of privacy and security protections for mobile research participants, this article focuses on the lack of application of federal standards to mobile application-mediated health research. As discussed in more detail below, the voluminous and diverse data collected by some independent scientists who use mobile applications to conduct health research may be at risk for unregulated privacy and security breaches, leading to dignitary, psychological, and economic harms for which participants have few legally enforceable rights or remedies under current federal law.

The shortage of organs for transplantation by its nature prompts ethical dilemmas. For example, although there is an imperative to save human life and reduce suffering by maximising the supply of vital organs, there is an equally important obligation to ensure that the process by which we increase the supply respects the rights of all stakeholders. In a relatively unexamined practice in the USA, organs are procured from unrepresented decedents without their express consent.

The medicalization model of poverty leads us to devote considerable resources to treating the healthcare problems caused by poverty while neglecting the root cause of those problems - the poverty itself. Treating symptoms rather than causes is far less effective than treating causes. When correctly understood, poverty is a major public health problem that needs to be addressed directly with effective anti-poverty programs.

The Physician's Duty to Treat During Pandemics.

November 2018

David Orentlicher is with the William S. Boyd School of Law and the Health Law Program, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Physicians assume a primary ethical duty to place the welfare of their patients above their own interests. Thus, for example, physicians must not exploit the patient-physician relationship for personal financial gain through the practice of self-referral. But how far does the duty to patient welfare extend? Must physicians assume a serious risk to their own health to ensure that patients receive needed care? In the past, physicians were expected to provide care during pandemics without regard to the risk to their own health.

Grateful patients provide substantial philanthropic funding for health care institutions, resulting in important societal benefits. Although grateful patient fundraising (GPFR) is widespread, it raises an array of ethical issues for patients, physicians, development professionals, and institutions. These issues have not been described comprehensively, and there is insufficient guidance to inform the ethical practice of GPFR.

This article explores the accountability of international financial institutions (IFIs), such as the World Bank, for human rights violations related to the massive leakage of funds from sub-Saharan Africa's health sector. The article begins by summarizing the quantitative results of Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys performed in six African countries, all showing disturbingly high levels of leakage in the health sector. It then addresses the inadequacy of good governance and anticorruption programs in remedying this problem.
