New team, new opportunities? The influence of a job change on well-being, social relationships and job satisfaction: A longitudinal survey study
No full textJob changes are among the most formative events in professional life - they open up new opportunities, but also pose exciting challenges in terms of reorientation. The Social Identity Model of Identity Change (SIMIC, Haslam et al., 2021) provides a theoretical foundation for researching job changes, by emphasizing the influence of changes in social group memberships on psychological well-being during life-changing events.
The aim of the study presented here is to analyze the effects of a job change on well-being, social relationships, job satisfaction, as well as occupational and organizational identity, and to compare these with the experiences of people who have been working in the same job for a longer period of time. To our knowledge it is also the first study to apply the SIMIC to job transitions.
At baseline (T1) the study included 435 participants in in the job change group (people who had changed their job within the last three months) and 176 people in the control group (people, who had not changed their job in over two years). Some participants had to be removed due to inferior data quality, so we invited a total of 548 people to the second wave. Of these, 257 people in the job change group and 145 people from the control group took part in the second wave. Data collection for the third wave is still ongoing. A three- wave longitudinal survey study was conducted with each time point 8 weeks apart.
Da will be analyzed using independent samples t-tests, a Structural Equation Model (SEM), a Latent Growth Model (LGM), bivariate correlations and a MANOVA.unknownothe
KLARpsy-Text: Wie hängen Einstellungen zu Leistung und kulturelle Werte damit zusammen, ob man in Schule und Uni betrügt?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Wie hängen Einstellungen zu Leistung und kulturelle Werte damit zusammen, ob man in Schule und Uni betrügt?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: In der Klausur aufs Handy schauen oder die Abschlussarbeit von einer künstlichen
Intelligenz schreiben lassen: Akademisches Fehlverhalten ist ein weit verbreitetes Problem. Studien zeigen, dass dabei eine wichtige Rolle spielt, wie Schüler:innen und Studierende über Leistung denken. Manchen ist der Vergleich mit anderen wichtig ( Leistungszielorientierung ). Anderen ist es wichtiger, die eigenen Fähigkeiten zu entwickeln und zu verbessern ( Lernzielorientierung ). Forschende vermuten, dass kulturelle Werte beeinflussen könnten, wie stark die Einstellungen zu Leistung mit dem akademischen Fehlverhalten zusammenhängen. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1. Wie hängt
akademisches Fehlverhalten damit zusammen, wie man über Leistung denkt? 2. Welchen Einfluss
haben die kulturellen Werte des Landes, in dem die Schüler:innen und Studierenden leben, auf die
Zusammenhänge? Ob Personen in der Schule oder in der Uni betrügen, hängt damit zusammen, wie sie über Leistung denken. Wer sich eher mit anderen vergleicht, betrügt auch eher. Wer eher die eigenen Fähigkeiten verbessern will, betrügt weniger. Kulturelle Werte beeinflussen die Stärke dieser Zusammenhänge.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
Psychometric validation and measurement invariance of the Flourishing Scale (FS) in the Algerian context
No full textThis study aims to validate the psychometric properties of the Flourishing Scale (FS) within the Algerian context, contributing to the understanding of psychological well-being in non-Western settings. Flourishing reflects an individual’s perception of leading a fulfilling and meaningful life, with optimal functioning across social, emotional, and psychological domains. Using a sample of 365 university students, the study evaluated the FS alongside the Satisfaction with Life Scale. EFA and CFA were conducted to examine the FS structure, along with internal consistency and validity assessments. The results demonstrated strong psychometric properties, confirming the scale’s unidimensionality, high internal consistency, and validity as a measure of flourishing in Algeria. Measurement invariance analysis further confirmed that the FS retains its psychometric robustness across gender and age groups, reinforcing its applicability in diverse populations. Correlations with SWLS further supported its construct validity. The findings support the use of the FS in Algerian settings to assess psychological well-being. Future research should explore its applicability across diverse demographic groups and investigate its relationships with other constructs, such as resilience and work-life balance.peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Partial Overlap Costs In Declarative Working Memory
No full text[The experiment registered here is a direct replication of Experiment 2 preregistered here: https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.16160, except we used slightly different arrows stimuli.]
This study aims to investigate whether declarative working memory (WM) is affected by code occupation. Code occupation consists in worse performance when representations held in WM share some features compared to no features at all or when features fully overlap. Code occupation is consistently observed for procedural WM representations of action plans, when when maintaining plans that overlap only partially, so calle dpartial overlap costs. Declarative WM does not typically exhibit similar partial overlap costs. In two experiments, we will assess whether partial feature overlap leads to performance costs in both systems. In Experiment 1, participants will perform an action while holding another action plan in procedural WM, expecting to replicate the partial overlap cost observed in previous studies. In Experiment 2, participants will memorize a target and discriminate it from a lure while holding another stimulus in declarative WM. In both experiments, the competing representation held in WM can fully overlap, share no features or partially overlap with the currently relevant action or target. Assessing the presence of partial overlap costs in declarative WM allows to furthe rour understanding of the processes underling the crucial ability to maintain and manipulate information in WM, while shedding light on the similarities and differences between procedural and declarative WM systems.unknownothe
Code for: Conspiracy belief and opposition to wind farms: A longitudinal study
No full textCode for: Winter, K., Pummerer, L., von Oertzen, T., Hornsey, M. J., & Sassenberg, K. (2025). Conspiracy belief and opposition to wind farms: A longitudinal study. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 104, 102620. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2025.102620The extension of wind energy plays a crucial role in achieving global climate goals. However, wind farms often face opposition by local communities. Recent research found cross-sectional evidence that conspiracy belief is an important predictor of wind farm opposition. The current work extends this finding and sheds light on the temporal relationship between these variables. A preregistered, three-wave study among German adults (N = 297) using Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel analyses found support for our hypothesis that an increase in conspiracy mentality (i.e., the general propensity to believe conspiracy theories) predicts more negative attitudes towards wind farms close to one's hometown four months later. We also found evidence for the opposite direction, namely that an increase in negative attitudes predicts higher conspiracy mentality four months later. Thus, conspiracy belief and wind farm opposition seem to mutually reinforce each other. Interventions and preventive measures should aim to break this vicious cycle that otherwise might curb the progress of the energy transition.This research was funded by a grant of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, #SA800/17–1) awarded to Kai Sassenberg and Matthew J.

The impact of language switching on statistical word learning
No full textIt is currently not clear whether language switching hurts, facilitates, or does not impact word learning. In the current experiment, we will focus on the effect of language switching on cross-situational word learning. To do so, we will compare the learning of 2:1 mappings (two words mapping onto the same object, similar to translations or synonyms) created by English-like and German-like non-words in pure and mixed learning conditions. In the mixed learning condition, one of the two words of the 2:1 mapping will always be English-like and one will always be German-like (consistent with translations). Instead, in the pure learning condition, 2:1 mappings will always be within the same language (consistent with synonyms). We expect participants to be better at learning in the mixed than in the pure learning condition (i.e., mixing benefits). Additionally, we will analyze the effect of language switching and language repetition in the mixed learning condition. We expect performance to be better in repetition than switch trials (i.e., switch costs).unknownothe
Why do (or don’t) people protect nature? insights from conservation practice and environmental psychology to respond to the biodiversity crisis
No full textUnderstanding and shaping human action towards nature conservation is critical to reversing the biodiversity crisis. Psychological science provides tools for understanding individual and collective behaviours, but also for understanding how the behaviour of individuals can drive human–environment systems transitions. As researchers and practitioners spanning distinct disciplines, we draw on our collective knowledge in environmental psychology, systems thinking, economics, and conservation biology, along with experience in practice and government, to consider reasons why people do (or don’t) protect nature. We outline dimensions important to fostering individual conservation behaviour and systems transformation. Such individual dimensions include values, personality traits, and psychological distancing. Broader system influences include cultural, economic, and environmental factors that shape the way people interact with, and care for, nature. Finally, we describe potential tools that may support increasing conservation actions and systems transformation, including strengthening connection with and access to nature, values-based and solutions-focused framing, collective action, and propagating optimism.peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Datasets for: On the Road to Power: Showing Benevolence and Integrity Fuels Power Granting
No full textFour studies show that people (observers) base their decisions regarding whom to grant powerful positions on the behaviors that a prospective powerholder shows. The data shows that people are more ready to grant power to someone if the target person shows (a) that they care about others’ situation (i.e., show they have benevolent intentions) and (b) typically does as they promised (i.e., show that they have integrity and “walk their talk”). This tendency might be driven by greater trust in such people to use power in a responsible manner. These results show how power relations democratically develop and how potential powerholders can signal to others that they are well-suited to receive power.unknow
