New Preprint with @SmelaPatrick: doi.org/10.31219/osf.i… We propose sampling manipulation intensities in social cognition research to explore IV-DV relationships more effectively. Feedback very welcome. #functions #replication #heterogeneity #theory #experiment

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…

There are just a few more days left to apply for the PhD position on imitative behavior - a project together with @CraccoEmiel and @JanCrusius

It's out in Psychological Review! In this paper, we propose a method for testing whether theories explain empirical phenomena. Thanks @BorkRiet, @AFinnemann, @JonasHaslbeck, Han, Jill, @RuitenZeven, and @DennyBorsboom for making this possible! tinyurl.com/52h6e42f

@meta_rep That is, these models can, in principle, approximate any predictor/criterion relationship in data, thereby potentially identifying misspecified functions, missing relevant predictors, or irrelevant predictors in content models.

@meta_rep Throughout the article, we highlight the use of generic models for theory development; thus, the specific context of probabilistic reasoning is just a case study for the approach.

New paper published; partially funded by @meta_rep. doi.org/10.1037/dec000… We compare the performance of probabilistic reasoning content models against a benchmark using a generic deep learning network model.

Small reminder for our panel discussion about the robustness of science. The link for the livestream is now online at the website of @badw_muenchen: badw.de/die-akademie.h… We start at 6.30 pm with the panel. Please share and contribute with your questions. #metrep #openscience

How robust can or should science be? META-REP is hosting a podium discussion about this important question of scientific rigor in cooperation with the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (@badw_muenchen) on February 6, 2024. #metarep #metascience #replication #openscience

Super happy that our research on stereotypes about scientists is now published! Curious which scientific discipline is the most powerful 💪, the most trustworthy 😇, or the most conservative 🐘? Explore the data yourself in our shiny app: 02mfnt-tobias-wingen.shinyapps.io/app-polsci/

New publication on the relation between cognitive abilities and risk preference: nature.com/articles/s4159… This relation critically depends on the risk elicitation method and the choice architecture within behavioral measures. With J. Rieskamp & R. Hertwig. (1/4)

A surprising @PsychToday article! Harvard-trained psychiatrist @srinipillay greatly articulates the main points of my paper on eristic reasoning. Worth reading! psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/debu…
