We replicated one of the oldest experiments in Psychology (Triplett, 1898) as a registered report. Children completed a task faster in pairs than when they were alone.

Oh nice replication dataset for future mixed model homework problems in my stats course. (Treatment effect is like 3 seconds difference with tons of variation by participant, age, etc.)
Arising out of discussions in @csi-research.bsky.social we conducted a Registered Report replicating Triplett’s (1898) experiment with over 400 children, showing children completed the task faster when paired with a coactor, compared to competing the task alone rdcu.be/eQwAE 1/3
A replication of Triplett’s ‘social facilitation experiment’

It is International Stress Awareness Week!

This study doi.org/10.1037/emo0... shows that individual differences in emotion regulation are associated with distinct patterns of cardiovascular responding to stress.

Do you use the DERS? Do you know what it measures? Neither do I, but we may be getting somewhere. We looked for evidence of construct validity in 10 years worth of papers in a new study out in JOBA. #emotion #emotiondysregulation #psychopathology #meta-analysis

🚨 Our paper is now out in @ScienceAdvances 🥳 amazing team work, led by @kimdoell.bsky.social @madalina.bsky.social and @jayvanbavel.bsky.social
Read the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Thankful for opportunity to work on this and learn so much 😊
We tested 10 behavioral interventions to mitigate #climatechange in 63 countries (N = 59,440)

The interventions’ effectiveness was small, largely limited to non-climate skeptics, and differed across outcomes.

In a new paper, we examined 11 interventions to address #climatechange beliefs and behavior (M = 59,440 in 63 countries).

These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors.
