German Professors’ Motivation to Act as Peer Reviewers in Accreditation and Evaluation Procedures
(2021-01-09)
Acting as a reviewer is considered a substantial part of the role-bundle of the academic profession (quality assurance (QA) and quality enhancement (QE) role). Research literature about peer review, for example, for journals and grants, shows that acting as a peer reviewer adds to an academic’s reputation. However, little is known about academics’ motivation to act as reviewers. Based on self-determination theory, the multidimensional work motivation scale (Gagné et al. 2015) is used for a survey of German professors ...

Who wants to learn harder? The relationship between conservatism and liberalism, desirable difficulties, and academic learning
(2022-01-04)
Previous work has shown that challenging learning strategies like desirable difficulties improve long-term learning. Nonetheless, because they might be regarded as strict and demanding learning strategies, they should not be perceived as positive by everyone. They should, however, fit conservative political attitudes since those are, among others, positively correlated with individuals’ need for order and structure as well as with challenging learning environments. Hence, we hypothesized conservative political attitudes ...

The Role of Just World Beliefs in Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2022-02-17)
This study investigated whether people’s personal belief in a just world (BJW) is linked to their willingness to physically distance themselves from others during the COVID-19 pandemic. Past research found personal BJW to be positively related to prosocial behavior, justice striving, and lower risk perceptions. If social distancing reflects a concern for others, high personal BJW should predict increased interest in social distancing. If social distancing reflects a concern for one’s personal risk, high personal BJW ...

The confidence-accuracy relation – A comparison of metacognition measures in lie detection
(2022-04-26)
Previous research has produced mixed results on the question of whether confidence in ad hoc veracity judgments can be used as an indicator of judgment accuracy. These studies have used a variety of measures to analyze the confidence-accuracy relationship; however, they have rarely explicitly addressed why a particular measure was chosen and what its properties are. We theoretically and empirically examined previously used measures of metacognition in lie detection and report the results these measures yielded in ...

Body scan meditation enhances the autonomous sensory meridian response to auditory stimuli
(2022-05-03)
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a pleasant, tingling sensation on the skin that can be elicited by certain auditory and visual stimuli, with the intertwining of sensory modalities and emotional reactions observable in this phenomenon resembling that of synesthesia. The current study shows that the perception of ASMR-associated tingles can be enhanced by means of a prior mindfulness exercise in which attention is drawn to the body. This finding contributes to a better understanding of the crossmodal ...

Developing Preliminary Scales for Assessing the HiTOP Detachment Spectrum
(2021-06-06)
The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is an empirical-based classification of psychopathology. Detachment is one of the six spectra in the current HiTOP working model. The aim of this study was to develop preliminary scales for the HiTOP Detachment spectrum that can be used in the next phase of developing a comprehensive measure of HiTOP. We had 456 participants from MTurk (Sample 1) and 266 university students (Sample 2) complete an online survey including a pool of 247 Detachment items assessing 15 ...

Entwicklung einer psychoanalytisch begründeten Typologie von psychotischen Erkrankungen
(2020-04-28)
Der Artikel begründet die Notwendigkeit eines genuin psychoanalytischen und gleichsam in der empirischen Psychotherapieforschung anschlussfähigen Beitrags zum Verständnis psychotischer Erkrankungen. Die sequenziell erklärende Mixed-Methods-Studie „Therapie und Psychodynamik von Patient*innen mit psychotischen Symptomen“ (T3PS-Studie) fokussiert auf die Binnendifferenzierung psychotischer Erkrankungen. Hierfür soll eine psychoanalytisch begründete Typologie dieser Patient*innen anhand messender und hermeneutischer ...

Vertrauen und Führung im Kontext digitaler Arbeit
(2020-04-16)
Der vorliegende Beitrag der Zeitschrift „Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation. (GIO)“ untersucht die Relevanz von Vertrauen zwischen Führungskraft und Mitarbeiter im Kontext der Digitalisierung und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Vertrauen in Zukunft noch bedeutsamer wird. Der Beitrag gelangt zu dieser Erkenntnis, indem er die psycho-sozialen Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf organisationaler Ebene identifiziert und systematisch die möglichen Wirkzusammenhänge zu Vertrauen analysiert. Die Analyse ergibt, dass sich die ...

No Robust Effect of Distributed Practice on the Short- and Long-Term Retention of Mathematical Procedures
(2020-04-29)
We investigated the effect of distributed practice and more specifically the “lag effect” concerning the retention of mathematical procedures. The lag effect implies that longer retention intervals benefit from longer inter-study intervals (ISIs). University students (N = 235) first learned how to solve permutation tasks and then practiced this procedure with an ISI of zero (i.e., massed), one, or 11 days. The final test took place after one or five weeks. All conditions were manipulated between-subjects. Contrary ...

Compiling Measurement Invariant Short Scales in Cross‐Cultural Personality Assessment Using Ant Colony Optimization
(2020-04-26)
Examining the influence of culture on personality and its unbiased assessment is the main subject of cross‐cultural personality research. Recent large‐scale studies exploring personality differences across cultures share substantial methodological and psychometric shortcomings that render it difficult to differentiate between method and trait variance. One prominent example is the implicit assumption of cross‐cultural measurement invariance in personality questionnaires. In the rare instances where measurement ...
