With 89% of children gaming, we need tools to understand risk factors. yRAFFLE, our new validated tool, measures 7 motivations for young people purchasing loot boxes. Distraction/compulsion and FOMO are linked to problematic gaming.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

This is one of the clearest breakdowns of the research -ologies I've read, it even manages to weave in axiology! It's worth a read and the chance for reflexivity that it provides.

Sixth, in this article (just published!), I provide an accessible overview of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, showing how they combine to form 7 common research paradigms. I also explore the methodological and ethical implications of these paradigms.
