Effectively directing your smartphone use? Together with great @lorenz_spreen & @frederikRiedel, we tested @one_sec_app's effectiveness to help control your app consumption, now published in @PNASNews! For a quick guide through the paper see @lorenz_spreen's thread summary:

I am thrilled to announce that together with @susafiedler we got the funding to move theory specification in social psych forward as part of @meta_rep . We are offering a position in the project - please apply and spread the word. psychjob.eu/de/job/postdoc…

A bit more context on the new group (website follows soon): We will aim to understand how increased connectivity and online environments, specifically algorithmic curation and network structures, affect public discourse and political behaviour, as well as cultural evolution. 1/4

I am excited to start my research group "Computational Social Science" at the Center Synergy of Systems (synosys.github.io) with @DirkBrockmann and the Center for Interdisci­plinary Digital Sciences at TU Dresden, beginning this fall! I will be hiring, job ads below👇

Very excited to finally share our preprint after three years in the making! With @rubenarslan @AnaSKozyreva @Briony_Swire @michael_geers_ @stefanmherzog and Ralph Hertwig @arc_mpib, we assessed the motives of very active users for posting content. (1/x) osf.io/preprints/psya…

I am so excited about this project! Please DM me or shot me emails (hcp4715 AT gmail dot com | hcp4715 AT hotmail dot com) if you are promoting #OpenScience in any developing countries! #OpenScience needs voices from developing countries

I know it's the end of semester and all of us are super busy! In case you're interested interested in the messy states of concepts, constructs, & measures, @GruningJ & I have an unconference at online #SIPS2024, where we seek to compile a reading list on this topic

Honored to be part of this panel!!!

How effective can @one_sec_app be after one year of using it? Our new publication at the @acm_chi conference on Hawaii shows: effective af (see diagrams) It turns out to be a great companion to keep social media usage balanced long-term – not just as a quick digital detox fix. I, myself, have been using one sec nonstop since I created it in 2020 and I couldn't live without it – and we see many happy users who are reporting the same. I’m super thrilled to continue working on the app! But not only that: we were also able to replicate our results from last year’s PNAS publication which showed a reduction of app usage by 57%. @LukeHaliburton, Nađa, @albrechtschmidt, @GruningJ: Thanks a lot for the great collaboration 🥰🥰 As always, data has only been collected from users who gave their consent. By default, all data remains offline and on-device. More info in our paper: doi:10.1145/3613904.3642370

Interested in meta-science? Come do a PhD with me and @maltoesermalte at @unibe in beautiful Switzerland. Open topic although we focus on error detection (see @error_reviews) and flexibility in measurement & methods. Email or DM either of us for details. Topic ideas welcome!
