“Just try harder and the success will follow” does does not always apply.

Check out our latest preprint to learn more about this effort performance (de)coupling across domains and contexts 😎

New #DHPRLab preprint💪🥳

Check out Lukas's post below, in case you're interested!

A Hitchhiker's guide to physical and cognitive effort: https://osf.io/gm7zf

Exciting milestone, my first PhD preprint is out! 🎉

Together w/ @israelhalperin.bsky.social & @wanjawolff.bsky.social, we put together A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Effort 🪐

If you’ve ever asked “what is effort, and how to measure it?”, this one's for you 😎

A picture of our team in front of the Baltic sea

Our team held yesterday’s lab meeting at Travemünde beach, enjoying the Baltic Sea and Hamburg’s maritime spirit as the ‘Gateway to the World.’ 🌊

Thanks again for the invitation and the great get-together 😎 That was truly fun talking about research methods, getting carreer advice, and ofc getting to know the typical local food "Frankfurter Grüne Soße" and "Handkäse" - can recommend 😜

It's fun to play around with that new #stats tool by #Posit.
Could be very helpful for quickly scanning your data frames 🎉

Friends don't let friends sit through 1000 trials to test the task works*....

Did you know you can simulate responses in PsychoPy?

Install the PsychoPy "Monkeys" plugin and have a play!

*Actually this is exactly what friends do 😅 - looking at you psychophysics people...

Sollten wir uns öfter langweilen? - 42 - Die Antwort auf fast alles - Die ganze Doku | ARTE Langeweile hat einen schlechten Ruf. Und löst ein unerträglich dumpfes Gefühl aus. Dem wollen wir um jeden Preis entkommen! Wir greifen zu Alkohol und Drogen, werden aggressiv oder sogar gewalttätig. ...

Such a pleasure to welcome @artefr.bsky.social to @dhprlab.bsky.social 🤩

We‬ talked about boredom & how it shapes our behavior. With cool insights from S. Kraus, @thomasandrillon.bsky.social & @jamesdanckert.bsky.social (who even reveals his boredom coping strategy 🎸)

📺 www.arte.tv/de/videos/12...

Was hyped to share some insights into how to navigate through the complex #effort maze @ ASP Conference in Bochum.
Thanks for all the interesting discussions and talks, this was effortful but truly rewarding at the same time!

w/ @wanjawolff.bsky.social & @israelhalperin.bsky.social

📢 New Publication 📢

Effort differentially shapes behavior before, during & after an action. w/ @bcheval.bsky.social, Silvio & Florent, we explore stage-specific effects of physical effort & how these dynamically modulate each other.

Now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences 🤩🤩

Curious? ⬇️

🎉 First preprint from my PhD! #excited

We suggest that sport & exercise psych should adopt formal decision models to study how high-stakes contexts and self-regulatory demands shape the explore-exploit trade-off.

w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social @wanjawolff.bsky.social
dx.doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Curious how #sports research can benefit from formal models of the explore–exploit dilemma & and how fundamental explore-exploit reseach can learn from studying decisions in sports?

Check out the new preprint by our brilliant PhD @dhprlab.bsky.social student @katjarewitz.bsky.social! ⚽🧠

The experience of physical effort is related to the value of physical effort during low, moderate, and vigorous exercise: https://osf.io/eh2b6

🚨 Call for Papers 🚨
We invite submissions for a SI on "Affective Processes in Sport & Exercise Psychology" in Performance Enhancement & Health. Eds: J Fritsch, M Bieleke, C Englert

📅 Due: Oct 31, 2025

Looking forward to your contributions—please share!

Does effort make life more meaningful? Was Sisyphus living the dream? In our new paper (now accepted in Cognition!), across 6 studies with nearly 3,000 participants, we found that more effortful tasks feel more meaningful 🧵

Very excited to talk about “Dynamics of Human Performance Regulation” in my inaugural lecture at @uni-hamburg.de.

I am very grateful for the nice turnout, the opportunity to share some of our @dhprlab.bsky.social research & explore ideas for future collaborations with so many amazing colleagues 🤩

#preprint 📢

Writing this was time-consuming, effortful, but never boring 🤩

w/ @senaozayotgonbayar.bsky.social, @jamesdanckert.bsky.social, @mbieleke.bsky.social & @corimartarelli.bsky.social, we explored how boredom and effort dynamically shape our experience of time: osf.io/preprints/ps...

It was a great pleasure to host Prof. Mirko Wegner at our #DHPRLab meeting!

Thank you for the insightful discussions, and sharing your expertise and research on "Self-Regulation & the Affiliation Motive", as well as on "the Relationship Between Mental Disorders and Exercise"🙏

Dynamics of Human Performance Regulation Lab (@dhprlab.bsky.social) At DHPRlab, we study human performance in sports (@uni-hamburg.de) using psychology, neuroscience & physiology. PI: @wanjawolff.bsky.social. Account managed by: Sena Özay-Otgonbayar https://twitter.c...

Our DHPRlab is on Bluesky 🤩!

#ExerciseScience #Psychology #Neuroscience

Our group spent an amazing day diving into the lab! Tested the eye tracker, explored PowerLab, and took on the cycling ergometer. A full day filled with learning, experimenting, and teamwork. 💪 #LabDay

Ariane Marion-Jetten presented her fascinating research on "Affiliation Motive and Self-Regulation" at our Scientific Colloquium yesterday. It sparked insightful discussions and idea exchange across the institute—truly inspiring work!

I created a starter pack for sports and exercise research!

Please share and do let me know if you would like to be added 🙏

It was a pleasure hosting Dr. Maik Bieleke in our #DHPRLab meeting!

Dr. @mbieleke.bsky.social shared valuable insights on Emotions in Sport & Exercise, including fascinating statistical approaches to understand emotional dynamics.

Thank you for an inspiring and thought-provoking session!
