This study finds that acute stress has a limited effect on decision-making, irrespective of the decision’s complexity. However, on decisions with experienced time pressure, acute stress reduced decision quality.

🚨 New in Communications Psychology: we investigate the causal link between acute stress and higher-order decision-making.
Using a task with multiple levels of complexity, we find stress impairs decision quality—but not in the way you might think. 📜

Philosophy meets Psychology. 🧠💭
Last week I was at #ASPP2025 presenting my work on how perceived chronic stress impacts decision-making.
It was a fascinating few days of interdisciplinary ideas. A few highlights from the conference 👇

It’s been a massive month! 🌪️ Two weeks ago, I spoke at the Monash Business Behavioural Lab (MBBL) Symposium on judgment & decision-making in virtual/physical worlds.
Huge thanks to Kristian Rotaru for pulling together such a stellar lineup, brief thread below 🧠👇

Someone tell the Albanese govt
Here it is, finally. The truth.
In a landmark #greenwashing legal case brought by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social, #EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels & apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its carbon #offsetting product

NEW paper! 💭🖥️
“Combining Psychology with Artificial Intelligence: What could possibly go wrong?”
— Brief review paper by @olivia.science & myself, highlighting traps to avoid when combining Psych with AI, and why this is so important. Check out our proposed way forward! 🌟💡
