🎉new paper out in Motivation Science🎉 Why are we eating fries when ego-depletion is wrong🍟? While there is little evidence that ego-depletion (inhibited self-control after brief demands) is a robust effect, many have experienced troubles with their goals when being tired...

I wrote a blogpost on something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: how metascientists could (and should) think more about their users when designing tools and reforms. Would love to hear any thoughts on this topic! #metascience #usercentered

PCI Psychology is here!! 🎉🥳 After over a year of hard work by so many people, we are thrilled to announce that we are open for submissions! Join us in making publishing more efficient, equitable, and open: psych.peercommunityin.org #PsychSciSky #scipub

Need to explain (or understand) linear mixed effects regressions, random intercepts, and random slopes? Look no further than "A Visual Introduction to Hierarchical Models" by Michael Freeman, 2017. It's a banger!

🧠new pre-print on the moral consequences of AI usage🧠 While there is a heated debate about the ethics of AI itself, we (with @tassilotissot.bsky.social) tested the effect of AI usage on effort perceptions and moral judgment. #PsychSciSky #socialpsyc #PsycSci #GenAI osf.io/preprints/os...

Error Report #2 (#metascience): t.co/9xyqIVUele The meta-analysis by Stanyer et al. (2022) contains severe data extraction errors. Due to these errors, the meta-analytic results for memory retention scores are incorrect. Reported effects for WPAL outcomes are 5x larger than the corrected effects.

Interesting new work on fatigue and self-control! We must keep developing our understanding of when lapses of self-control are likely to occur. The replication failure of ego depletion still leaves a lot to explore.

🎉new pre-print on self-control and fatigue🎉 In this experiment (N = 312), we show how mental fatigue impairs task persistence and performance. Small thread on why this makes sense and what social psychology can learn from sports science. #PsychSciSky #psychsky #AcademicSky osf.io/preprints/os...
