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/

For the next two weeks, I'll be visiting the dep. of comm. science at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social to work together with @masurphil.bsky.social on a longitudinal study about #privacy and #dataveillance. Is felt surveillance related to neg. consequences only or are there pos. ones too?
