New publication in #Neuroscience and Biobehavior Reviews! We propose a new model that links #social #connectedness with individual differences in social information processing. 👀➡️doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…

New Paper🚨: Punishing free riders in public goods games is most effective when using a common pool. Altruists invest more but punish less, while anger and empathy are linked to low investment, highlighting the role of context and traits in cooperation. doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Our smartphone-based 📱 research with CRPS patients, in collaboration with @HeikeRittner and @cl_sommer, uncovers gender differences in social support on pain intensity: while men benefit more from solicitous support, women benefit from emotional support. doi.org/10.1186/s12883…

Many people continue to suffer from #PostCOVID or #LongCOVID. In our new systematic umbrella review, we analyze current research to clarify how post-COVID syndrome is defined and which symptoms are most commonly linked to it. #COVID19 #Research link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our new #MachineLearning study reveals key factors in adolescent anxiety & depression: sleep issues common to both; life satisfaction, health worries & impulsivity play unique roles. Smartphone surveys show promise for adolescent #MentalHealth #Research. capmh.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

#ClimateChange causes severe psychological #distress. Our new scale shows how different domains of climate change contribute to distress in unique ways, deepening our understanding of its impacts on #MentalHealth. 🌍🧠 #Research sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New publication in Cerebral Cortex @OxfordJournals ! Using #DDM and #fMRI🧠we show that #empathy induces a stable prosocial decision bias. Congrats to @AnneSaulin! academic.oup.com/cercor/article…

🎉Exciting opportunity! 13 PhD positions open in our RTG 2660 on approach and avoidance behaviour! @Uni_WUE @RTG2660 @bioDGPs_DGPA #neuroscience #psychology #jobs

New study out! Using computational modelling and fMRI we show that empathy in “bad times” leads to stable social closeness in “good times”. Great collaboration with @ChihChungTing2 & @jbengelmann. Congrats to @SaulinAnne. doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

Our new viewpoint paper @jmirpub explores the dynamic relationship between daily social contact 🤝 and pain using Ecological Momentary Assessments📱. Understanding these nuances could reshape pain management strategies. #PainResearch #SocialSupport doi.org/10.2196/53830

📢New Study! 📊We used machine learning techniques to differentiate post-COVID depression and fatigue. Analyzing data from over 2000 patients, the findings show a strong overlap between symptom constellations of both syndromes doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.… #LongCovid #mentalhealth

New publication in @PNASNews on the social transmission of empathy! Humans learn and unlearn #empathy when observing empathic reactions of others, based on #observational prediction errors. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

📢 Exciting news! In a registered report @CollabraOA led by @mrtnwss, we show how personality traits, like extraversion and agreeableness, influence daily preference to interact with others measured with ecological momentary assessments (EMA). doi.org/10.1525/collab…

New research alert! Smartphone-based assessments 📱on the effect of exposure-based therapy on anxiety disorders revealed improved mood, increased physical activity, and more social interactions post-treatment. #MentalHealth doi.org/10.1016/j.janx…

new preprint on value integration for self and others in younger and older adult -- amazing work by shared first authors @LPollerhoff @SaulinAnne building on a project I started in 2017 with @JuliaStietz @pkanske as a postdoc @Li_Lab_TUD
