I p-hacked my early work on prejudice. It never felt like cheating. I now wonder if that's because I believed the cause was good. New essay on why scholar-activism is a dangerous turn for social psychology. If justice comes first, truth is what gets sacrificed. open.substack.com/pub/michaeli...

My P-Hacking Felt Like Truth

I became a social psychologist because I wanted to make the world a better place.

We were delighted to welcome Prof. Dr. Christian Schlenstedt from Medical School Hamburg to our #DHPRlab meeting. He talked about interdisciplinary considerations to enhance mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease. Many thanks for your time, insights, and the inspiring discussion!🙏

Yesterday, we got together for our 3rd DHPRL Garden Party to celebrate another great semester.🌿☀️ A huge thank you to all our colleagues and guests who joined us. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we completely forgot to take a group photo... 🥲 Already looking forward to the next one! 🤩

We had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Dr. Julia Schüler from University of Konstanz to our #DHPRlab meeting. She talked about the (un)ease of effort: A motivational perspective on predictors and consequences. Thank you for taking the time and inspiring discussions! 🙏

We're finally getting the tools to study replay in humans. But why bother? What can we learn from it that we don't know from rodent recordings? Our thoughts are now out in a new TICS Forum Great fun writing this w @smfleming.bsky.social + @maritpetzka.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Noninvasive methods are making it possible to study neural replay in humans. Although focused on alignment with rodent findings, human research often …

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Kerstin Brinkmann from University of Geneva to our #DHPRlab meeting. She talked about explicit and implicit motives and their impact on cognitive and physical effort. Thank you for taking the time and inspiring discussions! 🙏

Effort ≠ performance 🎯 At the Integrating Effort symposium @ASP, I showed that perceived effort maps non-linearly onto performance. Equal increases in prescribed effort produce disproportionately large increases in performance, likely because of compressed number representation and motor noise 🔢💪

Had a great time presenting at asp conference in Heidelberg! We dove into how perceived time and effort costs interact in movement-related decisions, and which factors matter most when studying them together. Wanna know more? 👉🏼 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

I really enjoyed presenting preliminary findings from our study on the effects of concurrent physical effort on explore-exploit behavior at this year's asp conference in Heidelberg 🚴🏀 Already looking forward to next year 🙃

Physical activity & #exercise require #time & #effort These costs are relatively well characterized separately But they co-occur in real life, & we lack understanding on how people jointly integrate them: Why/When do people choose elevators over stairs? Our brilliant PhD, Sena, explores this! ⚽🧠

Really happy to share that my first PhD preprint is finally out!🥳 We suggest that time and effort should be studied together as a shared experiential cost w/@bcheval.bsky.social, @corimartarelli.bsky.social, Dr. Maltagliati, Dr. Chastin, and @wanjawolff.bsky.social Curious?👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Was treibt uns an? 🏃🏻 „Ich erforsche, wie Menschen Leistung im Sport und in anderen Lebensbereichen steuern – also warum wir dranbleiben oder aufhören", sagt Sportpsychologe Prof. @wanjawolff.bsky.social. Dabei schaut er sich auch an, wie wir mit Langeweile oder Anstrengung umgehen. Zur Kolumne:

Interested in information search? 👀🔍 Make sure to check out our latest theory explaining how people search for information; now out in Psychological Review! @sgluth.bsky.social @jordantdeakin.bsky.social and Jörg Rieskamp

Sebastian Gluth@sgluth.bsky.social · 5mo ago

How do people search for information to make efficient decisions? Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory. Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

I've been asked a lot in the media about raw-dogging boredom - and I just think it's dumb (original title for this @psychologytoday.bsky.social was "Raw-dogging boredom is dumb" - apparently that was offensive!) Here's my take: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mode...

Why Raw-Dogging Boredom Is Not a Good Idea

The TikTok trend of surviving a long-haul flight while doing nothing misses the point of boredom altogether—that we need to act, not be more bored.

Starting a new blog @psychologytoday.bsky.social - hope you enjoy it www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mode... This first one has the ever-present psychology myth himself - Mr. Phineas Gage!

For the Love of Boredom

Boredom is prone to myth-making — much like the story of Phineas Gage. This matters. If we believe certain myths about boredom, it could lead us astray in how we respond.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Lorenz Assländer (Uni Konstanz) to our #DHPRlab meeting. He spoke about the cybernetics of human balance -how the nervous system integrates sensory cues to maintain stability- and about Augmented Visual Orientation Cues technology. Thank you, @cybal.bsky.social🙏
