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/

One special format of #MePsy25 is the @jmp-hogrefe.bsky.social panel - a super cool format: Early career scholars could submit short papers that were reviewed for the conference by two experienced media psychologists

TikTok and attention is a very much debated relationship. Kerria @kerriadrueppel.bsky.social presents our study results demonstrating that objective attention testing and self-assessed TikTok use are related #MePsy25

Thanks to @aliciagilbert.bsky.social for presenting this project at #mepsy25! To use a metaphor completely unrelated to where I was during the presentation, it's like the Bryce Canyon hoodoos: possibly about to topple at any moment, but impeccably shaped over time to be stunning
