Results in a nutshell:

🎯 Respondents with higher futures consciousness are more supportive of all policies in general

📊 The effect is fully mediated by perceptions of policy fairness and effectiveness - but not intrusiveness

🫠 Still swirling a bit after 2 intense weeks that brought me to Latvia/Lithuania/Italy, between #ICEP2025 and #FINT2025.

Two fairly different conferences in size / topics / crowds. But also like-minded: working hard for the best science, benevolent, and especially caring of young scholars. 🧡

🏆 It's @wiley.com random-certificate-time-of-the-year again 😄. But I'm actually glad about this one coz we're currently preparing a follow-up paper, which will focus on #betrayal stories from the BETRAYER's perspective... 👀 So stay tuned!

On the other hand, #promotion is related to higher trust. The effect is less pronounced than for prevention which we assume is due to promotion being more self- and less other-oriented in general.

Curious to know more? Check the paper! 👀

With some differences emerging between the scales used to assess regulatory focus, we find that #prevention is related to lower trust in others in general.

🤝 Who's motivated to #trust? In our latest publication in @joftrustres.bsky.social, we investigate the role of promotion and prevention (regulatory focus) as separate motivations influencing social trust

Very proud of this new piece out in @ispp-pops.bsky.social! ✊✊Political extremism (left & right) fuels collective action regardless of political content.
📊We use data from two real-world protests in 🇫🇷: against COVID19 (typical right) and pension reform (typical left) and find this asymmetric U-shape

🌱 Are you an environmental psychologist using scales in your research? 📊
If so you might be interested in our new publication! We advocate for the use of Item Response Theory to develop valid instruments and provide a concrete example how to!

Backstory: this project died and was revived so many times I called it The Zombie. It's one of those... Some of the data was collected 10+ years ago but things did not get through. But my coauthor never gave up! Neither did I! And now we have a published zombie to be proud of! #AcademicChatter 🧟‍♂️🧡

🏆 And of course this paper deserved its memorabilia on the wall of fame! Pleased to introduce this absolutely-not-creepy, clearly-the-size-I-expected-when-I-ordered-it, symbol of the Trust the Bot paper! 🤖🤖🤖

📚 For the more nerdy touch: I got inspired to do this research upon reading Klara and the Sun, the amazing novel by K. Ishiguro, that got me thinking about forms of tailored AI. If you haven't read it, I STRONGLY recommend the book (and the rest of his writing!).

✅Human model of trust is suitable to AI
✅People do judge AI's benevolence and integrity (not just its creator's!)
✅Ability and integrity (not benevolence) leads to greater trust in AI
✅Personalised/Tailored AI is more anthropomorphised but not trusted more than impersonal AI

🤖 Ever wondered what determines #trust in #AI? We investigated the foundations of trust in an AI chatbot, testing an integrative model of trust from interpersonal trust research ➡️ Key results summarised below! #socialpsyc #trustresearch
