One of the giants in motivation research and one of the two founders of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) has passed away. Few of us who work in research leave behind any lasting legacy. Ed Deci’s impact and contribution are an exception, matched by very few in modern psychology. Rest in peace…

One of the best texts I have read on motivation, misunderstandings on how to create it, and how reasonable ideas from science easily fly away and become something else…

Pratar i senaste avsnittet av podden "Spännande möten" om AI och psykologi. Vi pratar bland annat om vikten att förstå hur vi människor fungerar (och i vilka miljöer, system och sammanhang vi befinner oss i) för att förstå hur AI påverkar oss, på gott och ont.

A question to my international colleagues who know personality tests: Ive heard several international experts speak much more careful and diplomatic in media about clearly pseudoscientific tests, (like Myers Briggs) than I typically do. How come? Scared of getting into trouble, beubg sued? Or what?

Dungeons & Dragons and Burgers: ‘Really Bad Outcomes’ When We Don’t Grasp Fractions
People rely too heavily on anecdotal evidence when looking at complex problems. Author and UVA scientist James Zimring says the solution to better understanding lies in understanding fractions.
Maybe this time we’re going to discover that language *really is* perilous and needs to be regulated. But we thought that about novels, and about rock lyrics. We had dozens of murders and suicides documentably associated with D&D. This is a topic where anecdotal evidence usually turns out worthless.

It is not often we researchers write a letter to scientific journals and criticize a published paper. When we do, often something extraordnary has happened. As in this case.

A scientific debate about how well general executive functioning tests can predict sport performance, in particular in soccer. Based on the evidence at hand, we think they are wildly oversold and hyped. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

All kinds of snake oil is problematic. But for some reasons, AI snake oil feels extra relevant today. Also for us who believs in and uses the new AI tools. Or, perhaps in particular for us…

Pratar hållbar motivation i arbetslivet i senaste avsnittet av PåJobbetPodden. Blir även en del i början om hur AI och språkmodeller kan skydda oss mot att ta in dyrt skräp och trams (pseudovetenskap). God lyssning och glad påsk!

Which opening lyrics for a hardrock song best capture what is going on latey in the USA (and spreading to the world):
”Kneel down ye sinners,
to Streetwise religion,
Greed's been crowned the new King”

How should the advancement of large language models affect the practice of science? | PNAS
Large language models (LLMs) are being increasingly incorporated into scientific workflows.
However, we have yet to fully grasp the implications of...
A very accessible discussion for those not knee deep but keen to understand the potential & limitations of #AI tools in scientific research (me). Since I lean optimistic, I especially appreciated the more cautionary points of @carlbergstrom.com & @jevinwest.bsky.social
