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 ...

Are open-book tests still as effective as closed-book tests even after a delay of 2 weeks?
(2022-04-06)
The present work was conducted to re-examine the findings of Agarwal et al. (Applied Cognitive Psychology, 22(7), 861–876, 2008), which showed that both closed-book tests (with feedback) and open-book tests increased learning outcomes after 1 week compared to simple re-study of the same materials. However, contrary to often found benefits of retrieval practice—which should be more pronounced in closed-book tests—both test conditions proved to be similarly effective. As retrieval practice benefits increase with retention ...

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 ...

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 ...

Agronomic performance of normal-leafed and semi-leafless pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes
(2022-03-30)
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a major pulse crop important as feed and food. Due to the symbiosis with N-fixing bacteria, it is a valuable component of low-input cropping systems. The traditional cultivation of peas was limited by their high susceptibility to lodging. This problem was reduced, though not completely solved, by a semi-leafless mutant. Almost all modern cultivars carry this mutant. It is still an open question as to whether the lack of leaflets may have impaired the productivity. In organic farming, there ...

Von sub\urban zu Pro:Polis?
(2022-06-22)
Die Jubiläumsausgabe von sub\urban widmet sich unter dem Titel „sub\x“ vor allem aktuellen Positionen des Urbanen. Dieser Beitrag hingegen widmet sich vor allem möglichen Alternativen des sub, das die Perspektive der Redaktion auf das Städtische beschreibt. Aus dem Sub wird ein Trans, ein Re, ein Pro, ein Post und ein Ko. Mit jeder Veränderung der Vorsilbe – und damit des Blickwinkels auf das Urbane – tritt ein anderer Aspekt der Stadt und des Städtischen, der Stadtproduktion und -planung sowie nicht zuletzt der ...

Balancing Trade-Offs in Milk Production by Making Use of Animal Individual Energy Balancing
(2022-05-17)
Traditionally, the energy supply of dairy cows is based on the average performance of the herd. Because this contradicts the great variation in requirements between individual animals, the objective of the present study was to quantify both the extent and consequences of variation in the relevant sub-variables used to calculate the energy balance (EB) on an individual animal basis. Total energy supply (TES) and requirements (TER) of 28 multiparous German Holstein dairy cows fed TMR with 7.0 MJ NEL were studied between ...

The many faces of Post-Development: alternatives to development in Tanzania, Iran and Haiti
(2022-06-21)
Post-Development, a body of transitional imaginaries, is not homogenous, neither in its critique, nor in the alternatives proposed. Given that the term ‘development’ is already highly contentious, the question of what ‘alternatives to development’ might be, becomes difficult to respond to. In this article, we argue that Post-Development can assume many faces that are highly dependent upon their conceptual and geographical contexts. In analysing practices of resistance, contestation and subversion in Tanzania, Iran ...

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Risk Perception and Use of Local Public Transport During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2022-07-07)
In light of the climate crisis, the transport sector needs to be urgently transformed and the number of users of local public transport needs to be increased. However, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected public transport with passenger numbers declining up to 80% in Germany. In addition to a general decrease in mobility during lockdowns, we can observe a shift in decision-making in regards to modes of transportation, with public transport losing out. We argue that this change in behavior can be ...

Virtual Reality Experience of Mega Sports Events: A Technology Acceptance Study
(2022-05-24)
Digitalization has advanced to become an opportunity to spectate sports during the pandemic and its restrictions for traveling to competitions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antecedents of using virtual reality technology for spectating mega sports events. Based on a literature review, the authors created a model of behavioral intention, built on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and technology acceptance model to examine the curiosity and self-construal of spectators. An online ...
