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...

Really cool opportunity to work with Marcel on cutting edge research at the intersection of AI and cognition. Highly recommend applying!

Very excited to return to my old student city for this year's #PuG2026 conference 🧠 In our symposium on decisions under uncertainty on Saturday, 11-12:30 in HS13, chaired by @franziskaknolle.bsky.social, I'll present new computational findings on how experience drives loss aversion in risky choice.

Looking forward to fruitful discussions at our symposium on Wednesday!🌞

Check out this research lead by Olivia Fischer and @renatofrey.mstdn.science.ap.brid.gy with cool insights into risky choices people face in real life!

Politics Doesn’t Define How Most People See Themselves I’ve written a blog post just published by The Inquisitive Mind. Link: www.in-mind.org/blog/post/po... Very brief summary in the thread.

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).

For all who use Bayesian hierarchical models, have a look at our new preprint, out now together with @linushof.bsky.social @nunobusch.bsky.social and @thorstenpachur.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

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!

1/7 First paper of my dissertation now out in EJPR with @bnbakker.bsky.social & @gijsschumacher.bsky.social Can we measure affective polarization in systems with 6, 10, or even more parties without overburdening respondents or compromising validity? We show how. Paper: doi.org/10.1111/1475...

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. 👇
