🚨New Publication Fresh from the Press🚨 "Student (Mis)Use of Generative AI Tools for University-Related Tasks". Together with the great Moritz Jörling, Christoph Fuchs & @robertboehm.bsky.social, we explored how university students (mis)use generative AI tools! OA: doi.org/10.1080/1044... 1/7

My co-host Laura and I got together for an emergency podcast episode of @pandemia.bsky.social on what is happening around the world due to Trump’s executive orders affecting foreign aid. 🧪 Episode (mostly in German) is here and some points to come: podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/m...

Visit us in Vienna and attend the 3rd Behavioural Insights & Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop on May 15-16. We welcome submissions of all kinds of social and behavioural research related to AMR. For details, see the post below.

Just used Gemini Live to participate in a beh. experiment without even reading the instructions or speaking the language. LLMs acting as participants on platforms like Prolific could pollute data meant to study humans. With OpenAI’s operator model, this issue is growing. 🎥👇 youtu.be/NujyGZSA7Hg

Happy to host and co-organise the 3rd Behavioural Insights & Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop at the University of Vienna. Join us and present your social/behavioural science research related to AMR.

Hey everyone! 👋👋 We're beyond excited to officially join BlueSky! 🌟 Stay tuned for exciting content on tackling antimicrobial resistance through innovative behavioural science approaches! 🦠🥊

We have a new paper explaining all the ways you can use natural language processing to analyze text data in @natrevpsych.bsky.social We provide user friendly recommendations for using NLP to ensure rigour and reproducibility Here is a free link: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Fascinating study!

In a new paper published today, @yohm.bsky.social and I discuss a general framework to make sense of social norms and different indirect reciprocity models. Below is a 🧵, here is the paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm thrilled that our paper on base-rate neglect (BRN) and on-the-job experience (w/ @cfchabris.bsky.social and @michellemeyer.bsky.social) was just accepted at Management Science! TLDR: on-the-job experience with base-rate type problems mitigates, but does not eliminate, base-rate neglect. 1/7

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

In 2023, Harvard Business School suspended a star professor over charges of research misconduct. As it happens, one of her papers also had funny data from a *different* B-school superstar -- a "mad, fraudulent unicorn,” per @jamesheathers.bsky.social... (1/3) www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

New #preprint! We surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries to find out: Where do they come across information about #science? How do they #communicate about it? We also tested country factors like #AcademicFreedom and #PressFreedom and identified interesting patterns 🔎 ➡️ osf.io/preprints/os... 🧵 1/10

In our new PNAS paper, across 21 experiments with 23,000+ participants, we identify a critical distortion that shapes decisions involving tradeoffs: we find that people systematically overweight quantified information in such decisions. Paper (open access): pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2400215121 🧵

Starter packs are becoming more and more niche, I love it. We’re only days away from, “people that were in the invisible gorilla video” starter pack

🚨 Preprint Alert! 🚨 "Emphasizing herd immunity in vaccine advocacy: a systematic review and three-level meta-analysis" together with @robertboehm.bsky.social , @corneliabetsch.bsky.social & Martin Voracek. In short: Communicating herd immunity increases vaccination motivation!

It is great to see how many scientists are moving now to Bluesky. This is the moment to make a change and building a real alternative to X for academic exchange. Welcome, my fellow scientists and science friends!

What a great tutorial! Check out how you can use Raincloud plots in JASP for your research!

In this Review, Schmid et al. present a toolbox of interventions informed by psychological science to tackle vaccine hesitancy that are complements or alternatives to vaccine mandates 🚨FREE🚨to access until Nov 19! go.nature.com/4fy3Mek #psychscisky #psychology

Does emphasizing herd immunity increase people's motivation to get vaccinated? Our new systematic review and meta-analysis suggests: YES, particularly for experiential media (simulations, VR). Led by L. Reiter and together with M. Voracek & @corneliabetsch.bsky.social. osf.io/preprints/ps...
