Further robust evidence suggesting green nudges at the individual level are unlikely to make a difference. As we recently suggested, it is time to abandon the prevailing success focus and rather think of this body of evidence as pointing to the many structural constraints people are facing, and

🌟 Thrilled to be collaborating on an exciting unconference organized by @abrir.bsky.social at #BTSCON2025! The unconference will focus on raising awareness & creating a database of resources for big team & open science projects, to improve access for underrepresented populations. Registration below-

It has been an amazing experience to be President of @improvingpsych.org for the past year. There aren't many societies that would engage early career researchers in leadership, but SIPS is very special 🧡✨

Thank you! :)

..while a greater number of less adaptive strategies (i.e., rumination and suppression) predicting worse momentary affect.

Lastly, exploratory analyses revealed that quantity of strategies employed also matter when predicting momentary affect, with a greater number of adaptive strategies (i.e., distraction and reappraisal) predicting more positive momentary affect,...

We further tested momentary mental exhaustion and individual propensity to experience distress as moderators of strategy efficacy, and contrary to our hypotheses, reappraisal was more successful at higher levels of mental exhaustion to improve momentary affect.

As predicted, ruminating about stressful experiences predicted worse momentary affect, while none of the other assessed strategies (i.e., distraction, reappraisal, and suppression) were associated with momentary affect.

Grateful to have had such an amazing team on this- Pauline Goodson, Ariana Orvell, @dororeis.bsky.social , @malfrie.bsky.social , Bryan Denny!

Earlier this year I had the privilege of giving my first TEDx talk! I'm so grateful I could discuss an issue I'm particularly passionate about. Link below! ⬇️

Comment: Rethinking behavior change interventions in policymaking

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour!
We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face.

New paper! Miriam Pfister, Melanie Naumann, Veronika Brandstätter and I validated 13 state scales to capture change in students' affect, learning experiences, and study-related appraisals during exam preparation - useful tools to investigate the processes driving academic success.

🌟Honored to be listed with these amazing initiatives! The guide provides actionable steps to make a difference, in light of the barriers facing open science in global south: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Self-control in daily life is more than willpower — but how well do commonly used trait scales capture this recent, broader view on self-control?
