New paper in JPSP with dream team Erik Løhre, S. Prasad Chandrashekar, & Thorvald Hærem! Registered report replication + extension: desire for status is linked to greater overconfidence.

Many thanks to Erik for initiating the idea and project!

I'd follow this line of research, but I have two large grants on other topics and my day is only 24h long.

Yeah, I was so surprised too. I was pretty sure I missed something untill having a conversation with Budescu. maybe translation indeed cause misunderstandings across languages, yet no one ever tested if it has any practical impact on decisions.

Cognitive fatigue is assumed to affect moral judgment, but what about physical fatigue? Research with athletes and firefighters by Stefanczyk et al suggests it is unaffected: buff.ly/34KazhT

One thing striking is that the same post of yours has less than 10% of the attention compared to Twitter. It's hard to migrate here permanently.

Research by Milczarski et al into a potential foreign language effect on risk aversion suggests (a) there is no foreign language effect and (b) verbal probability expressions (“likely” v “70% chance”) eliminate risk aversion (!) buff.ly/N8Cvlhj

For those keeping track of replication rates across fields:
experimental asset market research is looking at a cool 21.4% replication rate.

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

carton, at climate summit, audience member objects "what if it's a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing"

I feel a bit like this about open science. The reforms will likely lead to positive outcomes, even if we overestimate their ability to solve our problems (e.g., replication crisis)

The open science movement got us to THINK about what we're doing. That's a positive spin-off if nothing else.

(PDF) Moral-Dilemma Judgments by Individuals and Groups: Are Many Heads Really More Utilitarian than One?

Santa awarded my for Christmas with an acceptance at #Cognition. In the paper, we report that groups are mor eutilitarain becuase they focus on consequences more, but just as much as solo deciders on norms and are similarly acion averse.

geez - i only read the headline and was among "those people" who believed in the finding. Thanks for a reminder to never trust anything without propper check

whhere is this from?

Do we cooperate because of institutions, or do institutions exist because we cooperate?

In this @pnas.org paper led by @jliep.bsky.social, with @lfitouchi.bsky.social & N. Baumard, we develop a mathematical model that answers this question.

Because selecting "NO" is admitting a loss?

Do I know anyone who is in or from Bangladesh? I have a couple of cultural questions. It's for science!

The undetected reflection test prime effect on moral judgments.

Table 7 showing the CRT (a mathematical reflection test) failing to predict multiple explications of utilitarian responses to moral dilemmas.

Process dissociation revealed more consistent correlations between reflection tests and moral dilemma judgments, but did not reveal that a mathematical reflection test (CRT) predicted utilitarian judgment. Moreover, what logical reflection predicted was more utilitarian AND more deontological responses (rather than more of one and less of the other).

The general discussion (Section 5) admits that "correlations between reflective cognitive style and utilitarian judgment ...depended on how utilitarian judgment was measured and, most importantly, fluctuated depending on how cognitive style was assessed. This is in line with previous research emphasizing the instability of this relationship (Baron et al., 2015), and the fact that not all measures of cognitive style predict moral judgment in the same way (Byrd & Conway, 2019)."

Another paper challenges #dualProcessTheory about #ethics: doi.org/10.1111/cogs...

- no effect of reflection test prime
- reflection tests about #math didn't predict utilitarian responses
- reflection tests about #logic predicted more utilitarian AND more deontological responses

This is what makes these comparisons very, very biased. Still, the income in the US appears to be fairly nice.

but you have to pay helathcare/childcrae of your pocket vs its included in the tax. You should not compare these values directly.

Thinking about #ReverseVampires, here's what we can conclude:

1. They love sunshine.
2. They enjoy garlic.
3. Really good at crossing moving water.
4. Especially good at reflecting in mirrors.

My CONCLUSION: The Reverse Vampires are just Italians.

Yeah, the pitchforks may be more and more visible now; more than ever.

Wow, their healthcare system is even worse than I expected. How can people of a super-rich society live like this?

Methods and stats hive mind: I am aware of the Thomas et al. (2014) critique of relative weights analysis but vaguely recall another more recent paper taking a critical look at RWA. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?

Report to amplify, please read.

I hope to never end up here at any stage of my academic career

Overall, all the tips are handy, and as an example, well-written. You are a role model of modern academia, thanks for all your input!

Behind the first door of the 100% CI advent calendar is a new blog post! In which I hand out unsolicited writing advice -- with a focus on writing about technical topics in an accessible manner, but most of it is fairly general: www.the100.ci/2024/12/01/w...

you bought me with this one, not gonna lie

Bluesky will likely turn out to be the same in a long run, so let us appreciate the current state of the world

Is the foreign language effect in judgement and decision making close enough? If so, please add me to the list.
