Do you sometimes feel torn when making decisions, like whether to eat unhealthy food or recycle? This is called felt ambivalence: a psychological discomfort from having mixed feelings about something. Check out our new work to know how people resolve such conflicts: doi.org/10.1016/j.je... 🧠💥 1/10

New paper alert: @kwinter.bsky.social Laura Henn, and I show in 3 studies (N = 1005) that flexibility mindsets (induced by cognitive conflicts) enhance pro-environmental behavioral intentions among those initially low in pro-environmental attitudes.

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.

53% of preregistrations included all procedural specifications & 10% all transparency elements. The completeness of preregistration was unrelated to JIF and TOP Factor of the journal in which the preregistered study was published. We discuss how the completeness of preregistrations can be improved.

We used @zpid.bsky.social PSYNDEX database to sample preregistrations from articles published by psychologists from institutions in German-speaking countries in 2020. We coded 6 procedural specifications (e.g., planned sample size) & 6 transparency elements (e.g., sample size justification)

How complete are preregistrations?
