At this year’s #MePsy25 conference in Duisburg, I presented a position paper about “small” media effects. While our field lacks objective criteria to decide when such effects are practically relevant, I proposed 5 criteria that can help deciding about relevance. Slides & paper on osf 👉 osf.io/d2ah7/

Das letzte Mal, dass es so warm auf der Erde war wie gerade, ist mind. 100.000 Jahre her und ich weiß nicht, was ich erschreckender finde - die Tatsache, dass die menschengemachte globale Erwärmung hier einfach ein senkrechter Strich (!) ist, oder dass es immer noch Leute gibt, die sie leugnen. 🌍🔥😐
