✨ LUCKY COINCIDENCES ✨ Have you ever come across a surprising, accidental discovery that felt meaningful and motivated you to further engage with it? In our new paper now out in JASP (doi.org/10.1111/jasp...), we explore such serendipitous experiences in museums and beyond. 1/5 🧵

New publication! Matthew Horsey, Kana Imuta and I integrate insights from social, cognitive, political, and developmental psychology and propose a lifespan model of conspiracy belief formation, from infancy, through childhood and adolescence, into adulthood. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Happy to share that our #bibliometric analysis of #translational psychological treatment is now published OA in the latest issue of @apajournals.bsky.social's Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice! doi.org/10.1037/cps0... Terminological inconsistency may threaten the progress of the field!

Excited to announce that my paper with @lpummerer.bsky.social, @sonja-utz.de & @kaisassenberg.bsky.social on conspiracy beliefs is published. We examined the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and procedural justice during the peak and decay of the pandemic.

🚨 CAN ARTISTIC ACTIVISM RESOLVE THE ACTIVIST DILEMMA? 🚨 Art is often employed as creative and attention-grabbing form of protest, but can it help alleviate negative effects of disruptiveness? Our findings now out in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts (doi.org/10.1037/aca0...). 🧵1/4

Remember the old #Twitter and when you decided to migrate? How important were your peers for your decision? In our current study, we use data from 250k researchers during the 2022 migration to #Mastodon to examine #socialinfluence within the research community. 👉 doi.org/10.23668/psy... 🧵1/4

For our soon-to-be published study on translational psychological treatment, we developed a paper identification workflow using sentence embeddings and machine learning. This may come in handy for other studies in #bibliometrics! 👉 Preprint: doi.org/10.23668/psy... #NLP #NLProc #ML #scientometrics

Calling all #psych researchers!📢 We’re conducting a quick survey on #preregistration & would love your input on what features an ideal prereg platform should have. We will use your feedback to improve @zpid.bsky.social's service PreReg! Thanks!✨ Link: www.soscisurvey.de/zpid-prereg/ #OpenScience

Do you work with text data? Then our ✨topiclabels✨ #Rstats package may come in handy. Using open #LLM, it automatically assigns a topic label to a bag of words. It also works with all popular #TopicModeling packages! 👉 cran.r-project.org/package=topi... 👉 github.com/PetersFritz/...

Excited for the research retreat from @zpid.bsky.social with @kaisassenberg.bsky.social @svenjabfrenzel.bsky.social @claudiaaraya.bsky.social @cspetrule.bsky.social @abitter.bsky.social @fhopp.bsky.social @marlephie.bsky.social and many more :)

#DGPs2024 in Vienna: - travel chaos and floods ✔️ - presented @abitter.bsky.social's and my "lovechild" study on translational psychological treatment research ✔️ - got a mug ✔️ #MachineLearning & #SentenceEmbeddings to identify hard-to-find relevant papers preprint: 👉 doi.org/10.23668/psy...

My dear colleague @cspetrule.bsky.social is about to present our bibliometric study on translational psychol. treatment at #DGPs2024 in Seminarraum 1. We applied #SentenceEmbeddings and #MachineLearning to find relevant papers. Find the preprint here: 👉https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.15204

had a great time presenting my side-quest on #fragmentation in emerging fields of research at the ASIS&T METSTI 23 in London. the density of high quality research in the room, the engaging presentations and the great ZPID team led by @abitter.bsky.social - simply fantastic! 👻
