How Trust in Science Shapes Belief Updating in Individuals Exposed to Scientific Evidence: A Psychological Perspective
No full textIn previous studies, Rosman and Grösser (2024) showed that individuals with high trust in science are more likely to update their beliefs on a certain topic if they are confronted with scientific information on that topic. While this effect itself is intuitively plausible, the psychological mechanisms behind it are still unclear. The present study aims to investigate two things: First, it will test whether individuals with high trust in science are more likely to update their beliefs when the evidence in question comes from a reputable source (i.e., higher author expertise), which would suggest that second-hand evaluations (i.e., source evaluations) play an important role in this effect. Second, it investigates whether cognitive dissonance drives belief updating in individuals with high trust in science. I assume that individuals with high trust in science are more likely to experience cognitive dissonance when presented with scientific evidence that contradicts their prior beliefs. This is because high trust in science makes it harder to dismiss or devalue science-based information. As a result, such dissonance may influence how these individuals update their beliefs. Furthermore, I expect that this potential effect of dissonance is particularly pronounced when the evidence comes from a reputable scientific source, compared to a source with low scientific expertise.
In the present study, I will test these assumptions by deliberately exposing participants to scientific evidence (in the form of short study descriptions) on the effects of acupuncture in the treatment of back pain. The evidence will be experimentally manipulated with regard to the expertise of the alleged study author (in terms of author descriptions which precede the study descriptions), and with regard to the direction of the evidence (studies speaking for the efficacy of acupuncture vs. unclear / diverging evidence). Consequently, a 2x2 design (author expertise: high vs. low, evidence direction: pro acupuncture vs. diverging evidence) will be employed; acupuncture-related beliefs will be measured pre-post.notReviewedothe
Psychologische Faktoren der Akzeptanz von Windenergieprojekten
No full textTrotz der mehrheitlich positiven Einstellung der deutschen Bevölkerung zur Energiewende und zum Ausbau der Windenergie, gibt es lokale Widerstände. Zur Akzeptanz von Windenergieanlagen und deren Wirkung liegt umfangreiche, häufig interdisziplinär ausgerichtete psychologische Forschung vor. Meist handelt es sich um Befragungsstudien, seltener sind experimentelle, epidemiologische, oder Zeitverlaufsstudien. Auf Basis der vorliegenden Evidenz lassen sich die folgenden fünf zentralen Akzeptanzfaktoren identifizieren.peerReviewe
L’autisme chez le jeune enfant
No full textSelon l’une des théories les plus dominantes, l’autisme est caractérisé par une diminution de l’orientation sociale. Cette réduction de l’intérêt pour le monde social apparaît dès les premiers mois de vie chez les jeunes enfants avec un trouble du spectre autistique (TSA). Ainsi, au lieu de suivre la trajectoire typique de développement et d’apprendre en étant complètement immergé dans le contexte social, l’enfant autiste emprunte un chemin particulier. De plus, chaque enfant suit un chemin unique, car l’autisme est marqué par une grande hétérogénéité. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, un changement de paradigme s’est produit dans le domaine des interventions. Au lieu de créer un contexte artificiel d’apprentissage, les interventions les plus scientifiquement validées aujourd’hui visent à rejoindre l’enfant dans sa motivation et à construire l’intérêt social progressivement, car cela est un ingrédient essentiel déterminant le progrès. Lorsque entamées tôt et de manière relativement intensive, ces interventions représentent une opportunité à ne pas manquer pour les enfants qui, sans ce type d’aide, ne développeraient pas pleinement leur potentiel.reviewedpublishedVersio
Cognitive pretest interview guide (Think-aloud protocol) for the DigiMed1 study
No full textThis interview guide was developed for the cognitive pretesting of the DigiMed1 questionnaire on psychological processes in informed decision-making. Using a think-aloud approach, participants were asked to verbalize their thoughts while reading the vignette, and patient information material, and while answering items on risk perception, stress, emotions, satisfaction, comprehensibility, and decision-making. The aim of the interviews was to identify problems in item wording, comprehension, and response processes.unknownunknow
KLARpsy-Text: Helfen Berührungen dabei, die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit zu verbessern?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Helfen Berührungen dabei, die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit zu verbessern?”. Er wurde von den Erstautor:innen der Übersichtsarbeit, Julian Packheiser und Helena Hartmann, und Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Berührungen können sich positiv auf Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden auswirken. Es gibt daher gezielt entwickelte Berührungsmaßnahmen, bei denen Personen direkt (z.B. mit Händen) oder indirekt (z.B. mit Gewichtsdecken) berührt werden. Berührungsmaßnahmen helfen beispielsweise dabei, dass viel zu früh geborene Babys Gewicht zunehmen. Damit erhöht sich ihre Wahrscheinlichkeit zu überleben. Noch ist unklar, was genau Berührungen in Bezug auf körperliche und psychische Gesundheit bewirken und welche Faktoren beeinflussen, wie gut eine Berührungsmaßnahme hilft. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1) Wie wirken sich Berührungsmaßnahmen auf die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit von Erwachsenen und Babys aus? 2) Welche Faktoren beeinflussen, wie gut Berührungsmaßnahmen wirken? Berührungsmaßnahmen verbessern die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit bei Erwachsenen und bei Babys. Wie gut die Maßnahmen helfen, hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren ab. Zum Beispiel helfen sie bei Babys besser, wenn die berührende Person vertraut ist, als wenn sie nicht vertraut ist.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow

Supplementary Material: Effects of Gender and Group Composition on Higher Education Students’ Application of Collaborative Problem-Solving Skills
No full textSupporting the development of collaborative problem-solving (CPS) skills without reinforcing social inequalities is a crucial task in 21st-century education. Therefore, inclusive learning environments are needed that enable CPS skill application for group members across diverse sociodemographic backgrounds. Prior research has demonstrated a gender gap in CPS skills, with female students consistently outperforming male students. Moreover, studies indicate that the gender group composition is associated with students’ collaborative behaviors. However, the complex effects of gender and gender group composition on students’ application of CPS skills remain inconclusive. This study aims to investigate how male and female higher education students apply CPS skills in small groups. Specifically, we want to explore the effects of gender, gender group composition, and the interaction between gender and gender group composition on students’ application of CPS skills. The planned study will have an experimental mixed-factor design with a between-subjects factor Gender (male and female) and an experimental factor Group Composition with random assignment to one of four conditions (single-gender, majority-gender, balanced-gender, or minority-gender). Students who do not identify as male or female will be allocated to diverse-gender groups and examined exploratively. Based on an a-priori power analysis, we plan to recruit a sample of N=200-280 higher education students enrolled in teacher training study programs. The study will be completed in an interactive online environment where the students will collaboratively analyze videoclips of a classroom situation in groups of four. We will collect log data of students’ actions and interactions in the online environment for the analysis of CPS skill application, and we will assess students’ gender as well as additional motivational and cognitive variables with questionnaires.unknownunknow
R project and R scripts for the manuscript: "Age-related changes in auditory attention switching: Investigating the role of cognitive and sensory factors in selective listening"
No full textThis study shows that older adults have more difficulty than younger adults in focusing on relevant sounds, especially when switching their focus of attention between different interlocutors. Our findings suggest that in the ageing population attentional deficit contributes more than sensory decline to listening impairments in multi-talker environments.unknownunknow
