    “Silver Linings in Psychological Disorders: An Agenda for Research and Social Change

    No full text
    Conventional research on people with psychological disorders is negatively focused, concentrating on what is aberrant and harmful about psychopathology. Characterizing patterns of emotional and behavioral disturbances has helped illuminate the origins of psychopathology and led to useful treatments. Yet we argue that the conventional approach to psychopathology is factually incomplete and may also inadvertently perpetuate the deeply entrenched stigma surrounding mental disorders. In this review, we make the case for considering the positive experiences of people with psychopathology –silver linings– and integrating them into psychopathology research. In our research agenda for studying Silver Linings in Psychopathology (SLIPs), we acknowledge that psychopathology may afford individuals both sources of difficulty and opportunities for positive transformation. SLIPs are illustrated in social, cognitive, and resilience domains. We close by considering implications for future research promoting a more balanced conceptualization of psychopatholog

    Decision-making framing in facial image comparison

    Unfamiliar face identification is a challenging task, and is often considered to be perceptual in nature. This ignores the contribution of decision-making in face identification. Across three experiments we examined whether face-matching decisions would change depending on the framing of response options. In Experiment 1, participants completed an unfamiliar face matching task with the Same/Different, Same/Not-Same or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. In Experiment 2, participants completed the task twice, once with the Same/Different response options and once with the Same/Different, Same/Not-Same or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. In Experiment 3, participants completed the task when 50% or 80% of trials were matches, and used the Same/Different or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. Whereas we found no evidence that face identification decisions were influenced by the framing of response options, we found evidence of a robust base rate effect. Together these findings suggest that decision making in unfamiliar face identification is a complex and selective process

    The influence of individual self-moral credit on unethical behavior under the conditions of loose and tight culture

    No full text
    We want to confirm the effect of individual moral credit on unethical behavior and also the moderating role of loose-tight culture in it. We believe that individuals with high moral credit will engage in more unethical behavior, while individuals with low moral credit will engage in more ethical behavior. We also expect that tight and loose cultures moderate the relationship between moral credit and unethical behavior, with tight cultures decreasing unethical behavior and loose cultures increasing unethical behavior

    Does White Identity Stop at the Water’s Edge? White In-group Solidarity and Racialized Perceptions of Foreign Adversaries

    No full text
    This study applies theories on white in-group identity (e.g., Jardina 2019; Jardina 2021) to elucidate the ways in which such an identification affects how white Americans process information about white and non-white countries and formulate their evaluations of them. Does the racial categorization of foreign rivals matter in how the white American public interprets their actions and intentions, and if so, for whom and through what mechanisms? How does one’s identification with their racial in-group affect their evaluation of foreign adversaries that belong to said racial in-group or out-group

    TWG Tools and Services for Research Collections and Provenance Research

    No full text
    Die TWG identifiziert Dienste und Werkzeuge für Forschungssammlungen und Provenienzforschung. Ziel ist es, einen internationalen Online-Katalog zu erstellen, der domänenspezifische Bedürfnisse widerspiegelt. Somit wird ein Status Quo, der momentanen digitalen Arbeitsmittel, in der Provenienzforschung erhoben. Ein besonderer Fokus wird dabei gelegt auf die objektspezifische Verwaltung von (Namens-)Normdaten, also Daten zu Vorbesitzer*innen und Veräußernden, wobei es sich einerseits um Personen und andererseits um Körperschaften handelt. Spezifisch sollen hierbei Charakteristika zu archäologischen und ethnologischen Objekten sowie deren immanente, rechtliche Komponenten Berücksichtigung finden

    Sequential Methods In Leading Evidence Synthesis

    No full text
    This project aims to investigate the application of sequential methods in evidence synthesis, with a particular focus on meta-analysis. The studies within this project will examine various sequential analysis techniques and assess their impact on the evaluation of synthesized evidence, especially in situations where data accumulates over time. The research will explore how sequential methods can inform key decisions, such as determining optimal sample sizes, establishing early stopping rules, and updating meta-analytic estimates as new evidence emerges. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance the interpretability and relevance of systematic reviews, improving their utility in clinical decision-making and evidence-based practices
