Which risky choices should (and do) we study as behavioral scientists? In two related articles, we recently examined the current "ecology of risk" (i.e., laypersons' reports on what risky choices they face in real life) and how these choices differ from those typically studied in the lab. See https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09567976251384975 and https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-13320-001 With @oliviafischer and @aaronlob #risk #decisions #cbdr_lab

These days, everyone is talking about #polarization. But how best to measure it? Olivia Fischer and I have a new paper that empirically compares various operationalizations of polarization (e.g., on people's risk perceptions), including a shiny app to simulate and analyze different kinds of polarization. https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bdm.70041 #CBDR_lab @oliviafischer

Planning an online study and wondering how much it will cost? I designed a Shiny app to help with this tedious task. Just input the number of participants, study duration, and hourly pay for up to three studies, and get a cost breakdown for each platform.This and other apps are available here: https://www.psychology.uzh.ch/en/areas/nec/cogres/services.html

Congratulations to Maué Pantoja (https://cbdr-lab.net/pantoja/) for the 2nd place of the student poster award (Society for Judgment & Decision Making #SJDM / New York) 🚀🚀 🚀 #CBDR_lab

Exciting news from #CBDR_lab: @oliviafischer presented her most recent project aimed at better understanding to what extent the risky choices behavioral scientists study reflect the choices people actually make in real life - and if not, to what extent it matters. Make sure to check out the preprint to learn more: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/h43cj

What do we (a group of 50 scientists) and B. F. Skinner have in common? Of course winning an Ig Nobel prize! 🎉

In a study led by František Bartoš where we performed 350,757 coin flips, we showed that when flipping a fair coin, it tends to land on the same side it started on (probability = 50.8%). Last week, we received the Ig Nobel prize for probability for this breath-taking finding. 🙂

Congratulations to @oliviafischer and @aaronlob who won the 1st an 2nd prizes at our institute's local student conference yesterday 🍾 💪 😀 #CBDR_lab

Do you already know the #CBDR_lab color palette for R? Particularly well-suited for barplots up to four bars.

#CBDR_lab goes to a (rainy) x-mas dinner!! Happy holidays everyone ❄️ 🎄 🍾 ⭐
