In a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game, manipulating the location of payout information on computer screens changed participants’ gaze pattern sequences and resulted in greater cooperation when more focus was given to others’ outcomes. @arkadykonovalov nature.com/articles/s4427…
I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.
Do we make better choices when it's all about us? 📣 Read our new blog for @PsychToday on a recent paper by Contreras-Huerta et al. (2024) written by @brain_apps and me. ✨ Special thanks to @lsebastian_ch, @thepsychologist, and @DrJoCutler ! psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-he…
Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd
It's OK not to love you job. In fact, having multiple “contingencies of self-worth” – things you can turn to feel good about yourself when one aspect is going poorly – is the key to buffering yourself from stress. Great article from @TessaWestNYU theguardian.com/books/2024/oct…
I'm very excited to share a preprint from a passion project I've been working on this past year! This came out of trying to work through two puzzles that have been bothering me for a while, and which are at the core of almost everything most of us study. osf.io/preprints/psya…
