KLARpsy-Text: Wie hängen Stress und ungesunde Ernährung zusammen?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Wie hängen Stress und ungesunde Ernährung zusammen?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Stress kann die Gesundheit negativ beeinflussen. Zum Beispiel direkt durch eine Unterdrückung der körpereigenen Abwehr. Der Einfluss kann aber auch indirekt sein. So kann Stress zu bestimmten Verhaltensweisen führen, die schlecht für die Gesundheit sind. Studien haben gezeigt, dass Stress mit einer ungesünderen Ernährung zusammenhängt. Die Ergebnisse sind jedoch nicht immer eindeutig. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Hängt Stress damit zusammen, wie viel und was Menschen essen? Menschen, die sich gestresst fühlen, neigen dazu, mehr zu essen. Sie greifen dann auch eher zu ungesunden Lebensmitteln. Gleichzeitig essen sie weniger gesunde Lebensmittel.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
Dataset for: "Working from Home: Increased Productivity or a Gateway to Counterproductivity?" and "Productive working from home - Interactions between conscientiousness and work environment"
No full textThis dataset contains survey data from N = 106 employees with experience working from home (WFH). The data include measures of the Big Five personality traits, home office environment characteristics, the proportion of WFH per week, and self-reported outcomes such as productivity, cyberslacking, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) while WFH. The dataset was used in two studies investigating (1) the interaction of conscientiousness and the home office environment on productivity, cyberslacking, and CWB, and (2) the effects of the Big Five personality traits and the proportion of WFH on the same behavioral outcomes. The data allow researchers to explore the relationships between personality, work environment, and behavioral outcomes across different work settings, providing opportunities for replication, secondary analyses, and methodological developments in the context of remote work research.unknow
KLARpsy-Text: Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Neugier und Kreativität?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Neugier und Kreativität?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Neugier bedeutet, etwas wissen zu wollen. Kreativität heißt, neue und nützliche Ideen zu entwickeln. Viele Forscher vermuten, dass Neugier eine Art Motor für Kreativität sein kann. Wenn man neugierig ist, sucht man nach Informationen und erkennt neue Probleme. Genau das sind wichtige Schritte im kreativen Prozess. Frühere Studien haben schon Zusammenhänge zwischen Neugier und Kreativität untersucht. Die Forschenden wollten nun alle bisherigen Befunde zusammenfassen und prüfen, wie stark Neugier und Kreativität tatsächlich zusammenhängen. Hängen Neugier und Kreativität zusammen? Neugier und Kreativität hängen zusammen. Je neugieriger Menschen sind, desto kreativer sind sie auch im Durchschnitt.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow

R project and R scripts for the manuscript: "Adjustments of balance control during cognitive dual tasking: Evidence from event-related force-plate analysis"
No full textCognitive-motor interference refers to the interaction between cognitive and motor processes occurring at the same time. Recently, balance control parameters while standing on a force plate were analysed using an event-related approach while participants performed a Simon task. Resolving response conflict in incongruent trials reduced balance adjustments prior to manual response execution, suggesting a bottleneck for concurrent cognitive and balance control. In the present study, we combined this approach with a cognitive dual task which comprised a visual-vocal short-term memory task with a delayed vocal response and an auditory-manual reaction time (RT) task. This hybrid psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm created a functional processing bottleneck during memory consolidation in the visual-vocal short-term memory task. To examine how this cognitive bottleneck influences balance control, 48 participants per experiment stood quietly on a force plate, and balance control was quantified as moment variability (mNm) in 100 ms sliding windows. We varied the stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA: 100 vs. 1,000 ms) between the targets (Experiment 1) and task load (report vs. ignore the visual object; Experiment 2). As expected, auditory-manual RTs increased at short SOA, showing dual-task interference that persisted in ignore trials, consistent with task-set inertia. Force-plate data were analysed using cluster permutation analysis to identify time-specific effects. Participants were less likely to adjust balance during cognitive task processing and more likely after task completion, independent of the presence of a cognitive bottleneck. These findings suggest that balance control flexibly delays or advances balance adjustments based on cognitive demands, thereby reducing cognitive-motor interference.unknownunknow
Code for: Flexibility mindsets enhance pro-environmental behavioral intentions among those with a low pro-environmental default tendency
No full textEnvironmental psychology provides several promising approaches to enhance pro-environmental behavior. However, these are usually only effective within a specific content domain and less so among people who are not yet committed to environmental protection. The current research introduces so-called flexibility mindsets as a content-neutral cognitive strategy that initiates a reconsideration of one’s default cognitive and behavioral tendencies. Across three studies (total N = 1,005), we induced a flexibility mindset via subtractive counterfactual thinking (“If only I had not…”) both within and outside the environmental domain. In line with our hypothesis, these flexibility mindset inductions enhanced pro-environmental behavioral intentions (e.g., to reduce consumption of animal-based food), especially among those with a lower pro-environmental default tendency. These effects held across different behavioral domains, thereby highlighting the potential of flexibility mindsets to induce the general “mindshift” necessary to foster a sustainable lifestyle.Code for: Winter, K., Henn, L., & Sassenberg, K.

Datasets and codebook for: Psychometric evaluation of the German Version of the Motivations to Eat Meat Inventory (MEMI)
No full textDatasets and codebook for "Psychometric evaluation of the German Version of the Motivations to Eat Meat Inventory (MEMI)". Datasets for Sample 1 and Sample 2 are provided and the variables are described in the codebook.
The Motivations to Eat Meat Inventory (MEMI) assesses four motives for eating meat: Natural, Necessary, Normal, and Nice. The aim of this study is a psychometric evaluation of the German MEMI. Two German-speaking samples (N=389; N=1,498) completed the MEMI online, one with an importance-based (sample 1), one with an agreement-based (sample 2) response format. We ran confirmatory factor analyses, tested measurement invariance, and examined validity. Across both samples, bifactor models showed the best model fit, with slightly better fit in sample 1 but acceptable fit in both formats. Measurement invariance across gender, age, and education largely supported factorial validity. Results suggested acceptable convergent validity. Regarding discriminant validity, a strong general factor underpinned responses, with Normal and Nice explaining meaningful additional variance. Nice meaningfully predicted meat consumption. The German MEMI is a valid tool to assess motivations to eat meat and best modeled with a bifactor structure.unknow
Trust or Trouble? Public Perceptions of Citizen Science
No full textCitizen science (CS) is often promoted as a means to strengthen public trust in science. However, it remains unclear how broader publics perceive CS compared to Institutionalised Science (IS). Using a quota-based sample of German internet users (N = 1,035), we conducted a comprehensive experimental investigation of perceptions of trustworthiness, epistemic and instrumental value, credibility and legitimacy of CS vs. IS projects. Results showed that IS was ascribed higher expertise and scientific legitimacy, whereas CS scored higher on benevolence and instrumental value. Moreover, individual differences, such as self-identification with science, deference to scientific authority and agreement with reasons not to trust scientists influenced these evaluations, while the participation level in CS projects did not. The findings reveal a tension between trust and scepticism: CS is perceived as a socially responsible and benevolent approach, yet one that challenges conventional assumptions about who can do science and what counts as scientific expertise.notReviewedothe
