Stage 2 Registered Report: Impulsivity and online sports betting behavior: Untangling the causal relationship
No full textThe rapid expansion of online sports betting has raised concerns about its potential impact on individual health and public health. In order to further develop etiological models for gambling disorder (GD) in sports betting, it is essential to unravel the underlying causal processes. Recent studies have identified risky online gambling behavior as an early indicator of GD. This study focuses on impulsivity as a well-documented risk factor for GD and investigated whether increased impulsivity leads to risky online gambling behavior and subsequently contributes to GD. Impulsivity, risky gambling behavior, and GD symptoms were assessed three times at three-month intervals using a longitudinal cross-lagged panel design. We recruited a final sample of n = 427 regular sports bettors from the online gambling provider Tipico. Impulsivity and GD were assessed using a combination of online experimental tasks and questionnaires. As a measure of risky gambling behavior, Tipico provided player tracking data for allparticipants. Random intercept cross‐lagged panel models were used to test the evidence for our hypotheses. Results showed partial support for the role of impulsivity in the development of GD, particularly through facets such as impulsive choice and certain impulsive personality traits. However, the findings suggest that impulsivity does not directly predict risky betting behavior, nor does such behavior mediate the relationship between impulsivity and GD severity. These results emphasize the complexity of pathways to GD, highlighting the need to explore multifactorial models incorporating emotional, cognitive, and environmental mediators.notReviewedothe
A Study of Habituation Behavior and Pavlovian Conditioning in the 'Mimosa pudica' Plant
No full textModern study of complex plant behavior rarely utilizes the psychological frameworks that are common in animal research. Behaviorism is an ideal logical framework in constructing an ecocentric foundation of plant behavior because of its objective treatment of behavioral patterns without dependence upon responsible mechanism. Biologists have recently applied Behavioral paradigms to plant learning experiments and found preliminary success, but have also been met with skepticism stemming from incomplete and improper behavioral procedures and human interference and error. This thesis constructed a novel procedural framework and experimental apparatus featuring automated stimulus implementation and rigorous data collection by which Mimosa pudica plant subjects could be left for weeks at a time without human contact. A photo-analysis algorithm that was blind to experimental conditions measured stimulus responses in order to unambiguously demonstrate behavioral trends in data. Experiment 1 established a habituation protocol to an air flow stimulus and found plants to show a monotonic decrease in magnitude of response over 30d of data collection (but required additional controls to fully establish habituation). Experiment 2 implemented a repeated associative contingency between changes in air flow and vibration stimuli and found a systematic difference in unconditioned response magnitude across experimental and control groups over 28d, thereby establishing preliminary, though still unclear, evidence for Pavlovian conditioning in M. pudica plants. Highly regulated environmental conditions, mechanically automated stimuli, and algorithmic response measurement and comparison reduced the possibility for human error and maximized procedural effectiveness in order to create ideal conditions for observations of plant learning.unknownunknow

Consequences of Conspiracy Beliefs for Interpersonal Relationships
No full textEmerging theorising and growing anecdotal evidence suggest that belief in conspiracy theories may negatively impact interpersonal relationships. However, research on the consequences of conspiracy beliefs has not systematically assessed their effect on people’s relationships. In this presentation, I will share findings from three different research projects that quantitatively and qualitatively investigate the role of conspiracy beliefs in interpersonal relationships. The first project examines whether perceptions of others’ conspiracy beliefs are linked to actual (or anticipated) relationship satisfaction. The second project uses a qualitative approach to assess personal accounts of individuals who shared or are sharing romantic relationships with conspiracy believers. The third project shifts the focus to prospective relationships in the context of online dating, addressing how the inclusion of conspiracy theories in dating profiles influences people’s impressions and dating intentions. Taken together, our results suggest that conspiracy beliefs can erode interpersonal relationships where such beliefs are not shared, whereas relationships between individuals with shared conspiracy beliefs remain unaffected or may even be strengthened.On May 21st, 2025 Dr. Daniel Toribio-Flórez, Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Psychology, University of Kent spoke at the ZPID Colloquium.Am 21.

Code for: On the Road to Power: Showing Benevolence and Integrity Fuels Power Granting
No full textThis work investigates when people are willing to grant someone else power over valued resources. Based on prior work on power and trust, we assumed that people are more willing to freely give power to someone who they can trust to use power in a responsible manner - more specifically, to someone who not only (a) is interested in others' situation (shows high benevolence, rather than interest in only their own situation), but also (b) acts in line with their promises (shows high integrity, rather than say A and then does B). Four studies in a field context and in more controlled lab settings support this idea, giving us new insights into the conditions that can contribute to power granting: the road to power is paved with benevolent intentions carried out with integrity.Code for: Scholl, A., Rapp, H., van Kleef, G., & Sassenberg, K.

KLARpsy-Text: Wirkt sich eine elektrische Stimulation des Gehirns bei Depression auch auf die Leistung im Denken aus?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Wirkt sich eine elektrische Stimulation des Gehirns bei Depression auch auf die Leistung im Denken aus?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Die transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation ist eine besondere Form der elektrischen Stimulation des Gehirns. Sie kann zur Behandlung einer Depression eingesetzt werden. Dass sich eine Depression auch auf die Leistung im Denken auswirken kann, ist bekannt. Ob transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation nicht nur die Schwere einer Depression, sondern auch die Leistung im Denken beeinflusst, ist aber noch unklar. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1. Verringert transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation die Schwere einer Depression? 2. Verbessert transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation die Leistung im Denken? 3. Hat transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation Nebenwirkungen? Die transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation ist eine besondere Form der elektrischen Stimulation des Gehirns. Nach der Stimulation haben Erwachsene mit Depression weniger depressive Beschwerden. Ihre Leistung im Denken verbessert sich aber nicht bedeutsam. Nebenwirkungen treten auch nicht bedeutsam häufiger auf.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
A Critical Analysis of Critical Thinking Interventions in Higher Education
No full textCritical thinking is praised as the hallmark of cognitive development and a raison d’être for higher education. In this review, we analyzed critical thinking interventions in higher education with regard to participant characteristics; focus, length, and duration of interventions; and specific measurement and data-analytic treatment. Forty-five studies published between 2010 and 2023 were reviewed. One key finding from this analysis was the determination that most researchers’ definitions of critical thinking centered on how it manifests (procedural) rather thanon its inherent nature (ontological). Further, the measures used were frequently misaligned with researchers’ definitions. Moreover, a lack of methodological details precluded thorough analyses of intervention characteristics vis-a-vis reported outcomes and raised questions about the causal conclusions reached. Among the implications discussed are the need for conceptual refinement, greater internal consistency between the conception and measurement, more prudent data-analytic approaches, and richer descriptions of the implemented intervention and study participants and context.notReviewedothe

KLARpsy-Text: Blicken Menschen mit sozialer Angststörung anders auf Gesichtsausdrücke ihrer Mitmenschen als psychisch Gesunde?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel 'Blicken Menschen mit sozialer Angststörung anders auf Gesichtsausdrücke ihrer Mitmenschen als psychisch Gesunde?'. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass sozial ängstliche Menschen Blickkontakt zu anderen generell eher meiden. Dabei ist es egal, welches Gefühl das Gegenüber ausdrückt. Weitere Studien zeigen hingegen, dass sozial ängstliche Menschen bedrohliche Reize und Gesichtsausdrücke eher beachten. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1. Blicken Menschen mit sozialer Angststörung im Vergleich zu psychisch Gesunden anderen weniger in die Augen? 2. Richten Betroffene ihren Blick bereits früh eher auf negative, sozial bedrohliche Gesichtsausdrücke? Menschen mit sozialer Angststörung nehmen seltener und kürzer Blickkontakt zu negativen und positiven Gesichtsausdrücken anderer auf als psychisch Gesunde. Sie blicken dagegen
länger und häufiger auf verärgerte als auf neutrale Gesichtsausdrücke, wenn beide zusammen erscheinen.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
