Preprint alert! 🚨
"The Advantage of Big Team Science: Lessons Learned from Cognitive Science."

Our heart beats for BTS. It can improve science by addressing issues like low statistical power and the lack of diversity in past research.
What is social reward? We looked through 384 experimental human and animal studies for answers, in a systematic review published today in Psychological Bulletin @APA_Journals!! (🧵1/11)

In sum, we provide a fine-grained analysis of existing social reward measures and stimuli. Together with our OSF page that provides open data and open code, it can serve as the key resource for researchers on the topic. (🧵10/11)

🚨PAPER!
What should you do when you're in a bad mood? Help others! But don’t overdo it... ⬇️
Our EMA dream team published a paper in @SciReports showing that everyday helping is associated with enhanced mood but greater stress when it is more effortful doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-7…
Last Friday my long PhD journey came to a beautiful end. 🤩 Had an amazing defense that felt more like a joyful chitchat between some researchers about research, together with my lovely colleagues and friends. 😊
A huge thanks to my supervisor Giorgia Silani, my @SilaniLab colleagues who made me this fun hat, and great reviewers @thuyvytnguyen and @leoschilbach!! 🤗

Long-term social isolation can negatively impact health. Recent work suggests that even a few hours of isolation may have negative consequences by disrupting vital internal regulatory mechanisms. @AnaStijovic @SilaniLab nature.com/articles/s44271-0…

Is smile MIMICRY a REWARD response?
While some evidence points towards it, our latest research suggests otherwise.

Guten Abend an alle!
Heute habe ich schon kurz erklärt, dass
(1) Musikhören möglicherweise vermittelt über unsere Stress-Systeme zur Verbesserung unserer Gesundheit beitragen kann und
(2) wir Smartphones und Apps nutzen um dies tatsächlich im realen Alltag zu untersuchen (1/n)
