🧵 New preprint! Can AI dialogue shift beliefs and policy support on climate change, vaccination, and economic inequality — even among skeptics?

🚨 New publication 🚨 Excited to share this new forum piece led by @kevinetiede.bsky.social We propose broadening risk communication to cover neglected dimensions outlined in our risk-information taxonomy, requiring greater reliance on simulated experiences. Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

New Preprint on Pluralistic Ignorance with Kira Maur & Cornelia Betsch 📄 We replicate that people underestimate others’ self-reported support for climate action—but show that they systematically *over*estimate actual, rare behavior. You can find the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 New preprint: What does the research landscape of behavioral reinforcement learning look like 🌍? We developed an LLM-powered bibliometric analysis to characterize article clusters, investigate their connections, and examine the distribution of topics across the landscape. osf.io/6c2va_v1

🌍 Neue Studie vom @ipb.bsky.social an der @unierfurt.bsky.social: Zustimmung zu Klimaschutzmaßnahmen steigt, wenn ihre #Wirksamkeit verständlich erklärt wird. Beispiel #Tempolimit auf deutschen Autobahnen 🚗💨: Wer das CO₂-Einsparpotenzial kannte, unterstützte es stärker – teils noch 1,5 Jahre später.

🚨 New preprint 🚨 How to improve risk communication? In this new piece, spearheaded by ‪@kevinetiede.bsky.social‬, we argue that traditional risk communication often fails to convey experiential dimensions of risk, and that experiential simulations can help fill this gap. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New year, new research: In our latest paper published in JEP:LMC, my co-authors Thorsten Pachur, Wolfgang Gaissmaier and I answer the question: “Is there a description–experience gap in choices between a described and an experienced option?” (psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...)
