Complex dynamics in psychosocial work with unaccompanied minor refugees with uncertain future prospects: A case study
(2020-09-09)
This case study explores the arriving process of an unaccompanied minor refugee in Germany and his perception of the psychosocial support he received. The aim is to elaborate possibilities to support refugee adolescents' arrival processes adequately. Two interviews—theme‐centered and narrative—were conducted and afterwards examined by a group of five researchers who used experts' validation as the analyzing tool. Four main dimensions were identified contributing to the complex dynamics in psychosocial work with ...

Does social exclusion improve detection of real and fake smiles? A replication study
(2021-01-28)
Research on social exclusion suggests an increased attention of excluded persons to subtle social cues. In one study (N = 32), published in Psychological Science,Bernstein et al. (2008) provided evidence for this idea by showing that participants in the social exclusion condition were better in correctly categorizing a target person’s smile as real or fake. Although highly cited, this finding has never been directly replicated.
The present study aimed to fill that gap. 201 participants (79.1% female) were randomly ...

Performance Expectancies Moderate the Effectiveness of More or Less Generative Activities Over Time
(2019-08-21)
We examined if the benefits of generation for long-term learning depend on individual differences in performance expectancies (PEs) prior to learning. We predicted that a greater generative activity (problem-solving) compared to less generative activity (worked-examples) should be more effective for pupils with higher PEs, especially in the long run. As a comparison group for problem-solving, we implemented a special type of worked-examples that decreased engaging in self-explanations, because our main prediction ...

Increasing scepticism toward potential liars: effects of existential threat on veracity judgments and the moderating role of honesty norm activation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)
With the present research, we investigated effects of existential threat on veracity judgments. According to several meta-analyses, people judge potentially deceptive messages of other people as true rather than as false (so-called truth bias). This judgmental bias has been shown to depend on how people weigh the error of judging a true message as a lie (error 1) and the error of judging a lie as a true message (error 2). The weight of these errors has been further shown to be affected by situational variables. Given ...

A Field Experiment on Reducing Drinking Straw Consumption by Default
(2020-09-16)
Against the background of the pollution of the environment through plastic waste, we conducted a field experiment (N = 195) to test the effectiveness of a default nudge intervention that aimed at reducing the consumption of plastic drinking straws. We assumed that separating straws from cups by default leads to an overall decrease in straw consumption. We hypothesized that individuals would consume straws less frequently when they had to pick straws actively out of a separate straw box for their drink compared to ...

Bewusstes und unbewusstes Denken von Experten und Novizen: Eine empirische Studie zur Qualität von Personalauswahlentscheidungen und Implikationen für die Beratung
(2020-09-29)
Die „Theorie des unbewussten Denkens“ (UTT) postuliert, dass Menschen in komplexen Situationen bessere Entscheidungen treffen, wenn sie unbewusst-intuitiv und nicht bewusst nachdenken. Inwieweit sich diese, fast ausschließlich im Bereich der Konsumgüterentscheidungen geprüfte Annahme, auch auf die Entscheidungsarbeit von Recruitern, Beratern oder Coaches übertragen lässt und welche Rolle hierbei ihrer Expertise zukommt, ist bisher weitgehend ungeklärt. In diesem Beitrag werden die UTT sowie die Relevanz der Expertise ...

Ein achtsamer Blick auf den Achtsamkeits-Hype
(2020-01-23)
Achtsamkeit liegt sowohl in der psychologischen Forschung als auch in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen im Trend. Dieser Artikel wirft einen achtsamen Blick auf den aktuellen Forschungsstand. Dabei werden zum einen diverse methodische Limitationen bei der empirischen Untersuchung von Achtsamkeit deutlich, wodurch valide Aussagen über tatsächliche Effekte nach wie vor nur begrenzt möglich sind. Zum anderen wird eine Forschungslücke bei möglichen unerwünschten Auswirkungen identifiziert. So sind negative Konsequenzen ...

Geheimnisse in der Supervision von Psychotherapeut/innen in Ausbildung und Motive dafür
(2021-06-01)
Geheimnisse sind omnipräsent: 97 % der Menschen haben mindestens ein Geheimnis, von dem niemand weiß. Die allgemeine Geheimnisforschung hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen, fehlt aber noch im Supervisionsbereich. In einer anonymisierten Online-Befragung von Psychotherapeut/innen in Ausbildung (PiA) zeigte sich: Die häufigsten Geheimnisse in der Supervision sind, dass die Supervision keine Hilfe ist, die PiAs sich nicht ernst genommen fühlen und dass sich die Konzeptionen von PiAs von denen ihrer Supervisor/innen ...

Why don't you believe me? Detecting deception in messages written by nonnative and native speakers
(2019-11-05)
Detecting lies is crucial in numerous contexts, including situations in which individuals do not interact in their native language. Previous research suggests that individuals are perceived as less credible when they communicate in a nonnative compared with native language. The current study was the first to test this effect in truthful and fabricated messages written by native and nonnative English speakers. One hundred native English speakers judged the veracity of these messages, and overall, they proved less ...

Modern health worries: Deriving two measurement invariant short scales for cross-cultural research with Ant Colony Optimization
(2019-02-07)
Worries about possible harmful effects of new technologies (modern health worries) have intensely been investigated in the last decade. However, the comparability of translated self-report measures across countries is often problematic. This study aimed to overcome this problem by developing psychometrically sound brief versions of the widely used 25-item Modern Health Worries Scale (MHWS) suitable for multi-country use. Based on data of overall 5,176 individuals from four European countries (England, Germany, Hungary, ...
