How does social influence shape collective outcomes? When does it lead to lock-in on inferior options? In our 🚨 new preprint 📝 osf.io/preprints/so... we make three contributions w/ @alexgelas.bsky.social Alex Jochim @leostnbrk.bsky.social Peter Steiglechner & @pantelispa.bsky.social 🧵1/4

A more detailed thread on our recent Science Advances paper. Really proud of this paper and the discipline-bending approach and team. It is the first part of a trilogy that was produced with the support of a Sapere Aude grant by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. Stay tuned for part 2 and 3 ;).

1/ Why do inferior but popular things remain popular? Excited to share our new paper with @pantelispa.bsky.social, @glemens.bsky.social & @arnoutvanderijt.bsky.social "The marginal majority effect: When social influence produces lock-in" www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Why does a worse candidate win? Or an inferior song dominate? New article with @alexgelas.bsky.social, @pantelispa.bsky.social & Gaël Le Mens. We show that often once A becomes even slightly more popular than B, people choose A much more often. www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

As some of you guessed, the two models are statistically indistinguishable. The answer is Model 1, but there was no way to tell from the data. I was very surprised when I first saw this. Here we show that this confounding of heterogeneity and reinforcement is general: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New paper. We did one of @eikofried.bsky.social’s favorite studies: We looked for the E factor, the general tendency to explore; 11 measures, 7 behavioural tasks and 4 self-reports. The best model suggests the different behavioural measures measure different things: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
