Are you using height-adjustable workdesks?

Recent research has suggested that cognitive functioning might be enhanced when standing up compared to sitting down.

In two works from my master's, we tested these claims to show how different attentional functions are affected by standing posture: (1/n)

First paper of my dissertation now out in EJPR with @bnbakker.bsky.social & @gijsschumacher.bsky.social

Can we measure affective polarization in systems with 6, 10, or even more parties without overburdening respondents or compromising validity? We show how.

Exciting news from cbdr-lab.net: Olivia Fischer presented her recent project aimed at better understanding to what extent the risky choices behavioral scientists study reflect the choices people actually make in real life - and if not, to what extent it matters.

We won the IgNobel Prize in Probability for 350,757 coin flips.

František Bartoš and EJ Wagenmakers received the prize yesterday on behalf the 50-author team.

Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started on (probability = 50.8%).
