Good listen on the Exploit-Explore continuum w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social Insightful for parents, coaches, and athletes. The basketball example reminiscent of Gen. Melchett in Blackadder: "Doing precisely what we've done 18 times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time!"

I had such a great time on this episode! 🤩 I really enjoyed taking the explore-exploit trade-off beyond theory and discussing its relevance for athletes, coaches, and performance in real sport settings. 🏀🏌️‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Thanks so much for having me @danabrahamspsych.bsky.social

New preprint 📢 w/ @wanjawolff.bsky.social & @mbieleke.bsky.social we tracked boredom during a cycling task. Perceived effort generally increased over time – boredom didn't. Boredom varied strongly across individuals, and its dynamics predicted persistence beyond effort 📖 osf.io/preprints/ps...

I really enjoyed talking about investigating dynamic decision strategies in sports using the explore-exploit framework at #ISSP in Hong Kong. If you're interested in our recently published work on this topic ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ps...

#DHPRLab in the ISSP 16th World Congress in Hong Kong! Curious about our talks? Stay tuned 🙌🏼😌 @wanjawolff.bsky.social @senaozayotgonbayar.bsky.social @katjarewitz.bsky.social @lukas-hack.bsky.social Together w/ @corimartarelli.bsky.social, @mbieleke.bsky.social, and Darias Holgado.

Very happy to see this out now in Psychology of Sport & Exercise 🤓 If you’re interested in how the explore–exploit framework helps us study decision-making in sports and exercise, check it out! w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social & @wanjawolff.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📺 A TV team from NDR visited our @dhprlab.bsky.social to learn about our current research & why boredom plays a powerful role in human behavior. You can spend three (German, but hopefully not boring) minutes watching it here: www.ndr.de/fernsehen/se... P.S. Thumbnail is not footage from our lab 😁

📢 New paper 🤩 w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social & @corimartarelli.bsky.social, we used Bayesian network analyses to study the relationship between exercise boredom, effort value & self-reported exercise behavior. TL;DR: high boredom & low value -> less exercise www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Had a great time presenting our ideas on the utility of studying explore-exploit trade-offs in #sports at the ASP Conference in Bochum! I appreciate the nice turnout - especially for such an early morning session after the social evening 😜🙏 lead: @katjarewitz.bsky.social w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social

🎉 First preprint from my PhD! #excited We suggest that sport & exercise psych should adopt formal decision models to study how high-stakes contexts and self-regulatory demands shape the explore-exploit trade-off. w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social @wanjawolff.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.31234/osf...

A few days ago, Yannick Ramsel visited us for an upcoming article he'll publish at @zeit.de. In the pic, you can see him bravely volunteering as a test subject for that. Stay tuned! 😉 // @katjarewitz.bsky.social
