Accuracy of outcome anticipation, but not gaze behavior, differs against left- and right-handed penalties in team-handball goalkeeping
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)
Low perceptual familiarity with relatively rarer left-handed as opposed to more common right-handed individuals may result in athletes' poorer ability to anticipate the former's action intentions. Part of such left-right asymmetry in visual anticipation could be due to an inefficient gaze strategy during confrontation with left-handed individuals. To exemplify, observers may not mirror their gaze when viewing left- vs. right-handed actions but preferentially fixate on an opponent's right body side, irrespective of ...

Challenges in detecting proximal effects of existential threat on lie detection accuracy
(2022-06-14)
The present work documents our investigation of proximal (i.e., immediate) effects of existential threat on the process of lie detection. Specifically, we hypothesized that lie detection accuracy will be higher in a mortality salience (MS) condition compared with the control condition. In two lab-based studies (N = 120; N = 109) and one internet study (N = 1294), we did not find any evidence for this hypothesis, that is, MS effects on lie detection accuracy were constantly not significant. However, these null findings ...

Effects of task interruptions caused by notifications from communication applications on strain and performance
(2023-06-06)
Objectives:
To examine the effect of automatic communication notifications on performance and strain. Because of the benefits of communication, we expected this effect to be moderated by fear of missing out (FoMO) and social norms of responsiveness, expressed in the experience of telepressure.
Methods:
A field experiment (N = 247) was conducted in which participants in the experimental group disabled their notification during 1 day (N = 124).
Results:
The findings revealed that a reduction of notification-caused ...

Is It the Judge, the Sender, or Just the Individual Message? Disentangling Person and Message Effects on Variation in Lie-Detection Judgments
(2023-02-15)
Research suggests that people differ more in their ability to lie than in their ability to detect lies. However, because studies have not treated senders and messages as separate entities, it is unclear whether some senders are generally more transparent than others or whether individual messages differ in their transparency of veracity regardless of senders. Variance attributable to judges, senders, and messages was estimated simultaneously using multiple messages from each sender (totaling more than 45,000 judgments). ...

The correlation between honesty-humility and attitude toward counterfeit luxury
(2023-10-18)
This research focuses on the relation between Honesty-Humility and attitude toward counterfeit luxury. Honesty-Humility is defined as the tendency to be fair in dealing with others. Given that the act of knowingly purchasing a counterfeit could be judged as morally questionable, immodest, and manipulative, we predicted that people lower in Honesty-Humility would report more positive attitudes toward counterfeit luxury. Given that related research from behavioral research revealed Honesty-Humility to be the key predictor ...

Free to See the Big Picture: Autonomy Increases Abstractness of Action Identification
(2023-10-10)
People sometimes feel autonomous—free to choose and able to control their actions; at other times, they feel restricted in what they can do and what the outcome will be. Based on Action Identification Theory, the present work examines whether autonomy influences how abstractly actions are represented. In 6 studies, high (vs. low) autonomy increased abstractness of action identification. Participants selected more abstract (vs. concrete) redescriptions of actions when they imagined wanting (vs. having) to perform these ...

Fostering diagnostic competence in prospective mathematics elementary teachers through epistemic activities
(2023-12-21)
Research on fostering teachers’ diagnostic competence and thinking has become increasingly important. To this end, research has already identified several aspects of effective fostering of teachers’ diagnostic competence. One of the aspects is assignment of the role as a teacher in interventions but, so far, assignment of the role of student has hardly been considered. Based on a model of the diagnostic thinking process, this paper operationalizes the role of the student by solving specific tasks and the role of the ...

Development and Validation of a German Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC-G)
(2022-11-09)
The Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC) assesses individual differences in sensitivities to aversive interpersonal behaviors. In this research (total N = 1,519), we developed and validated a German adaptation of the ISC (ISC-G) and extended the nomological net of interpersonal sensitivity as a construct. Using the structural summary method, we investigated associations with self- and informant reports of adaptive (interpersonal) personality traits as well as self-reported personality functioning, maladaptive ...

Gesundheit und Studienpensum von Studierenden: Ergebnisse eines Gesundheitssurveys an der Universität Kassel
(2023-04-28)
Einleitung
Über Gesundheit und Krankheit von Studierenden ist relativ wenig bekannt und die Auswirkungen auf den Studienerfolg sind kaum erforscht. Das Ziel der Studie ist, Assoziationen zwischen dem Gesundheitszustand von Studierenden und dem absolvierten Studienpensum zu analysieren.
Methoden
Es nahmen 3330 von 23.699 immatrikulierten Studierenden der Universität Kassel an der freiwilligen Befragung („computer assisted web interviews“) im März 2022 teil. Die Rücklaufquote betrug 14,1 % unter Bedingungen der ...

Reliabilität und Validität des OPD-KJ-Konfliktfragebogens bei stationär behandelten Jugendlichen
(2021-06-15)
Mit dem OPD-KJ-Konfliktfragebogen (OPD-KJ-KF) können intrapsychische Konflikte gemäß der Operationalisierten Psychodynamischen Diagnostik im Kindes- und Jugendalter (OPD-KJ-2) einfach und zeitökonomisch erfasst werden. Der Fragebogen existiert in zwei Fassungen: als Selbstbeurteilungsinstrument für Jugendliche und als Fremdbeurteilungsinstrument für Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten. In einer Stichprobe stationär behandelter Jugendlicher wurden psychometrische Gütekriterien (interne Konsistenz, Konstruktvalidität, ...
