Published today: One of the biggest #science #communication studies to date. We asked 71,922 people in 68 countries how they #engage with information about #science and combined the data with several country-level factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenAccess

Very excited to hear that we won SPSP's Robert Cialdini Prize this year for our International Climate Psychology Collaboration!! Huge thank you to our 258 collaborators!! 🍾🎉🤩

I'm excited to share the news that our climate change project won the @spspnews.bsky.social Robert Cialdini Prize for a "paper that uses field methods and demonstrates the relevance of social psychology to outside groups and communities"! You can read it here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

@monabielig.bsky.social and Celina Kacperski will be presenting and discussing our new Heat and Cognition Manylabs at the virtual Big Team Science Conference! October 6th at 3pm UTC. Register now (for free or pay-what-you-want) at bigteamscience.github.io!

🧠🌍 Big Team Science aims to make global science thrive. But what happens when collaborators come from countries in conflict? Or when researchers are unwilling, unable, or legally barred from working together? Join our online #BTScon2025 UNconference: "Big Team Science in a Divided World"

It is great to see the Manylabs Climate (ICPC) dataset being reused in new and important ways! @saschakuhn.bsky.social and @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social looked more in-depth into the societal-level structures that shape public support for policy acceptance across the globe. More info 👇👇👇

🧵New preprint out: How do macro-level structures shape public acceptance of climate policies? We explore this question using the ICPC #ManyLabs data across 63 countries. Beyond individual beliefs, how do structural conditions like inequality, fossil dependence, or neoliberalism shape support? [1/]

🧵New preprint! Can experts accurately predict real-world effectiveness of 11 climate change interventions? We ran a preregistered forecasting study with 862 participants and compared their predictions to real-world outcomes from 6,954 Americans. What we found surprised us. osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 We used interpretable machine learning on data from 55 countries (N = 4,635) to identify the most important individual- and nation-level factors predicting climate beliefs, policy support, and behaviors. 📄 doi.org/10.1038/s441... Led by @todorova.bsky.social

🚨new paper! We investigated emotional reactions before/after "doom and gloom" styled emotional messaging globally. One of my favorite results is how consistent emotional reactions are across all the globe (black dots = pre-intervention, grey=post) Led by the famous @tspampatti.bsky.social more info👇

Should we use "Climate Change", "Climate Crisis", "Global Warming" or another term for this environmental disaster? It doesn't seem to matter! @researchdigest.bsky.social just covered one of our papers led by @dgoldwert.bsky.social with @jayvanbavel.bsky.social & @madalina.bsky.social Check it out👇

There are a lot of names for the climate crisis, but which motivates us to do our part more? 🌍 Well... new research suggests they're actually all quite similar: www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...

OOOoOoo, the Trust in Science Manylabs study has finally been published! Check it out 👇 Huge congrats to Prof. @colognaviktoria.bsky.social 😉

Viktoria Cologna@colognaviktoria.bsky.social · 2y ago

Our global study on the state of trust in scientists is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🥳 With a team of 241 researchers, we surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries, providing the largest dataset on trust in scientists post-pandemic 👇🧵https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02090-5

Our paper "Addressing climate change with behavioral science: A global intervention tournament in 63 countries" reached 100 citations today 🤓 (within a year of being published)! Huge thanks to our 258 co-authors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Grateful to Torin Academy of Sciences' 2023 International Ferrari Soave Award for Human Biology. Could say a few words in 🇮🇹 thanking Giorgia @SilaniLab.bsky.social and all collaborators esp. @ScanUnit.bsky.social and my mentors. Research is teamwork 🙌 youtube.com/watch?v=XUqBQg… (~1:13:00)

🚨We have a new preprint osf.io/preprints/ps...! Thanks to our >250 collabs, we tested the efficacy of 11 interventions designed to stimulate different facets of climate change mitigation in 63 countries via the International Collaboration to Understand Climate Action manylabsclimate.wordpress.com

psyched to see this out. hope it will inspire research on how climate change affects the brain and how to use brain-based knowledge and measures to understand pro-environmental action; awesome cooperation led by @kim_doell and @tobiasbrosch www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨We have a new perspective out today in @natureclimate called “Leveraging neuroscience for climate change research” shorturl.at/dyN35 where we call on #Neuroskyence researchers to help combat #climatechange 🧠
