Warum brauchen wir Vorbilder? 🌟

In einer aktuellen Podcastfolge von ARD Wissen erklärt Entwicklungspsychologe @moritzdaum.bsky.social, welche Rolle Vorbilder in unserem Leben spielen und warum sie für unsere Entwicklung so entscheidend sind.

We are doing a pilot survey about how prospective PhD students in PSYCHOLOGY make decisions about applying to grad programs. If you are thinking of applying to a program in the future, and have 2-5 minutes to spare, could you take this survey? 🫶

Just me rambling on about #executivefunctions again 😁 With joy I show the slides behind me while looking into the eyes of our PhD students in the audience in front of me, who are going to take this project to another level 🚀

Science friends: Anyone have a memorable, pithy quote about how important it is the unlearn or let go of cherished but incorrect scientific hypotheses/models e.g. DA=Rew; 5-HTTLPR and Amyg (or interacting w NLEs to promote MDEs); WM-related PFC=storage

Teen loneliness triggers ‘reward seeking’ behaviour A study has found that adolescents become highly motivated to seek rewards after just a few hours of social isolation. This may be beneficial in driving them

Teenagers are especially sensitive to loneliness, new #research has found.

But when social reconnection isn’t possible, this can drive them to seeking harmful rewards like alcohol or drugs.

Very interesting findings, seeing that epigenetics play a huge role in the prenatal stage. Can‘t wait for longitudinal study designs to show causality regarding later psychological development of these individuals.

Very inspiring episode!

Her insights help us refine our coaching manuals to better foster intrinsic #motivation and #autonomy among participants — ultimately improving our intervention outcomes. 👏✨

🌿 Highlighting great student research!
Today, our Master's student Tscherina Benker presented her poster at the Children's Research Center Retreat at #Kinderspital Zürich — showcasing her extensive work on #autonomy-supportive coach #behaviors in our E-Fit study.

Honoured to have been invited to the yearly #clinicalscience PhD retreat to share my experiences as an alumni and life after PhD. I deeply enjoyed this enriching afternoon among inspiring researchers! @uzh-ch.bsky.social

Congratulations! Can‘t wait for that work to be accessible, sounds super interesting!

One year ago 🤩 insane how time flies! My first year as post-doc is coming to a close and while somedays it feels like I am still in the same place I was a year ago, I also see how much I‘m not. I continue to investigate #executivefunctions in children with #chd and am continuously inspired. 🫀

It‘s amazing how fast our research group has been growing lately! It‘s so rewarding to be surrounded by all these incredibly motivated and capable people! 🥳🤩 any good research-team practices you can share?

Was für eine tolle Tagung der Entwicklungspädiatrie vergangene Woche. Zum Thema ADHS als Spektrum verstehen konnte einmal mehr sehr profitieren von den tollen Vorträgen und Inputs! #adhs #adhd

Lately I started my Tuesdays with a swim again. So refreshing, so peaceful, so good. The longer the to do list, the better!

Love this!

Sehr interessant!

Smart but scattered. Have you ever felt like that? Like you know WHAT to do, but you seem to have a hard time figuring out HOW to do it?
I can highly recommend the books of Dawson and Guare regarding ways to learn and teach #executivefunctions
