TikTok and attention is a very much debated relationship. Kerria @kerriadrueppel.bsky.social presents our study results demonstrating that objective attention testing and self-assessed TikTok use are related #MePsy25

In German we struggle with whether and how we should include different genders when we speak and write about different genders. Klimmt et al's replication of their own study demonstrates that it is still worth it #MePsy25

You heard it here first (maybe): The CAT/Mobile doctoral consortium will officially be happening again at #ica26 in Cape Town! Are you dissertating? Consider applying for mentorship from top scholars in comm tech / mobile.

Looking forward to presenting our study on #TikTok & attention with Jana Dombrowski & @sabinetrepte.bsky.social @ #MePsy25.

💡While we find short-form video use to be related with attention deficits, different measures of screen time & attention provide different insights.

In 15, we will decide on the best research paper in media psychology. The papers feature large-scale studies, in-depth theory reviews and/or theoretical development, most with extensive supplements and appendices. Amazing work! And, always rewarding to read papers you didn’t pick yourself.

Heidi Reichinnek ist Publikumsliebling auf Stage 1 und fordert sinngemäß:

Macht alle social media! Wir brauchen mehr Aktivität um gg Rechtspopulismus anzugehen!

Das sehe ich genauso. Mehr ist mehr auf TikTok. Jeder Post auf TikTok soll gern Qualität sein, aber nicht jeder muss neu sein. #rp25

Getting ready for #rp25 and will talk about how materialism messes with us: linked to lower life satisfaction, self-worth, gratitude—and more loneliness. Media fuels it. All generations affected, but GenXYZ need tailored support. Join at #rp25, Mon 25.5, 12:30–13:30, Stage 1, Station Berlin. #GenXYZ

Study by Geiß, @christinaviehmann.bsky.social & Kelly shows inflation of crisis coverage in newspapers 1785-2020, with crisis labeling increasing faster than crisis waves. Why? Government expansion, mediatization of politics & crisis frame sponsor activity drive increases, not critical conditions 🧪

Wondering what's up with 23andMe's bankruptcy? I talked with @alondra.bsky.social and @anyaprince.bsky.social about the implications for genetic privacy.

23andMe has filed for bankruptcy. Should you delete your data from the site?

As 23andMe prepares to be sold, Science News spoke with two experts about what’s at stake and whether consumers should delete their genetic data.

It is considered odd to cite oneself in a review, but I am convinced that three very helpful reviews for an #ica25 paper we got refer to the reviewers' own work. It made me think: I would not have noticed these scholars' work without their self-citations bc it is not a 100% fit; still, so helpful.
