Research data is the original Intellectual Property produced by researcher that is then reported and interpreted in scholarly books, journal articles, and conference proceedings. This collection is a store of research data produced by Oxford Brookes researchers so that their data can be accessed by other researchers and the public.

The file contains coding data on 12 2nd reading debates in the UK Parliament on key legislation mentioned in the Queen’s Speech 2014. The debates/legislation are: • Armed Forces (Service Complaints and Financial Assistance) Act 2015 • Childcare Payments Act 2014 • Infrastructure Act 2015 • Modern Slavery Act 2015 • National Insurance Contributions Act 2015 • Pension Schemes Act 2015 • Recall of MPs Act 2015 • Serious Crime Act 2015 • Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 • Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 • Taxation of Pensions Act 2014 • Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 The text is coded to highlight distribution of the main rhetorical repertoires that UK Parliamentarian’s draw upon when debating key areas of public policy.
This study analyses the relative predictive power of autonomous motivation and approach/avoidance motivation for people’s positive psychological functioning at work and environmentalism. It employs a longitudinal design (N =139). Multiple and hierarchical regression analyses show that the approach/avoidance dimension is more suitable to predict Affect Balance at work, whereas the autonomy dimension is more suitable to predict environmentalism. Theoretically, this can be explained with the approach/avoidance dimension being more aligned with the pleasure/pain principle and therefore more relevant for affective outcome variables. Autonomous motivation focuses more strongly on the alignment of a person’s actions with their values and interests. Hence, the autonomy dimension is more suitable for predicting environmentalism. This is because, behaving environmentally friendly is often not pleasurable but requires mature, disciplined self-choices. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
This collection provides data from an EU-funded Horizon2020 project “NEW ABC: Networking the Educational World: Across Boundaries for Community-building”, under the call H2020-SC5-MIGRATION-2018-2020. The project is led by Prof. Rachele Antonini at the University of Bologna. The research actions in the UK Team This collection details the data collected from the team in the United Kingdom, which was co-led by Prof. Sarah Crafter at The Open University and Prof. Guida de Abreu at Oxford Brookes University. The project was supported by Postdoctoral Researchers, Dr. Nelli Stavropoulou, Dr. Eleni Stamou and researcher Ms Kelly Lambert. The UK team undertook two ‘pilot actions’, similar to an intervention, which used participatory action research and co-creation as a key approach. The two interventions were: 1) Empowering young translators (Work Package 4) The aim of this pilot action was to produce participatory co-creative activities to emotionally and socially support young people who translate and interpre…
Some technical limitations to using the eccentric mode to measure peak eccentric strength of the hamstrings (PTHecc) were raised. PTHecc also has limited validity to predict performance or injury risk factor. Therefore, our aim was to compare PTHecc and other isokinetic variables tested in the eccentric and passive modes. Twenty male hockey players (20.2±1.1 years; 179.7±6.9 cm; 73.4±7.1 kg; 12.2±3.4 % of body fat) performed maximal eccentric contractions of the hamstrings at 60°·s-1 (three repetitions) and 180°·s-1 (five repetitions) on both legs and using the eccentric mode and the passive mode (automatic movement of the lever arm) of the Biodex System 4 isokinetic dynamometer. The following variables were measured: PTHecc, the angle of peak torque (APT,°), angle-specific Hecc torque at intervals of 10° and the rate of torque development (RTD) in the first 50 ms and the first 100 ms. The main results showed that compared to the eccentric mode, the passive mode led to a significantly greater PTHecc in the no…
