Cancel culture has taken over social media... or has it? In a new paper, Randy T. Lee, Jabin Binnendyk, @gordpennycook.bsky.social, Ovul Sezer, and I found that people overestimate support for "cancellation": doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Which risky choices should (and do) we study as behavioral scientists? In two related articles, we recently examined the current "ecology of risk" (i.e., laypersons' reports on what risky choices they face in real life) and how these choices differ from those […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

New paper from our lab!🤝🏻 @linushof.bsky.social demonstrates how different strategies of searching for information when making decisions based on experience can shape choice patterns, such as deviations from "optimal" choices (maximizing expected value).

Are you using height-adjustable workdesks? Recent research has suggested that cognitive functioning might be enhanced when standing up compared to sitting down. In two works from my master's, we tested these claims to show how different attentional functions are affected by standing posture: (1/n)

News from a different field today👩‍🔬: To power a greener future, we need better batteries. My sister published her BSc thesis, where she explored how to improve lithium-sulfur batteries - a promising battery type that could outperform conventional ones in cost & capacity🔋Cool work & promising impact!

Congratulations to @linushof.bsky.social from our lab @tum.de for being the runner-up at this year’s #teap2025 poster competition! His research shows that people search adaptively in decisions from experience.

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...)

New paper just dropped 😎

Congratulations to Maué Pantoja (https://cbdr-lab.net/pantoja/) for the 2nd place of the student poster award (Society for Judgment & Decision Making #SJDM / New York) 🚀🚀 🚀 #CBDR

Exciting news from cbdr-lab.net: Olivia Fischer presented her recent project aimed at better understanding to what extent the risky choices behavioral scientists study reflect the choices people actually make in real life - and if not, to what extent it matters. #psynom2024 @sjdm-tweets.bsky.social

We won the IgNobel Prize in Probability for 350,757 coin flips. František Bartoš and EJ Wagenmakers received the prize yesterday on behalf the 50-author team. Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started on (probability = 50.8%). 🧪 #StatsSky #PsychSciSky More info below. 👇
