Inoculation Decreases Uncritical Acceptance of Herbal Product Reporting and Willingness to Engage With TCAM Products: Evidence From Three Preregistered Experiments
Many herbal remedies lacking scientific support receive largely favorable media coverage, misleading consumers. To foster more thoughtful consumption, we developed an inoculation-based strategic intervention: a random news generator exposing media tactics like appeals to nature, tradition, availability, and pseudoscientific jargon. Its effectiveness was tested in three preregistered experiments. In a laboratory study ( N = 243), active use of the…
Is generative AI your new therapist? A cross-cultural model of generative AI affordances, trust, use intentions, and willingness to attend in-person therapy
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming an increasingly important source of mental health advice and support. This cross-sectional survey ( N = 1,011) conducted in Austria and Japan examined how perceived affordances of generative AI predict trust in generative AI and intentions to use it specifically in the context of mental health, and how these relate to stigma toward in-person therapy and willingness to seek professional he…
Should Public Communication of Vaccination Rates Assume Rationality, Normativity or Reasonableness? Insights from Three Preregistered Experiments
The proportion of the population who are vaccinated against an infectious disease is significant - not only because vaccination keeps the virus from spreading, but also because learning about how many members of one's community have decided to get vaccinated has been shown to affect individual vaccination intention. In three preregistered online experiments featuring country-level vaccination rates against a hypothetical disease, we tested two th…
Public Communication about Science in 68 Countries: Global Evidence on How People Encounter and Engage with Information about Science
This 68-country survey ( n = 71,922) examines science information diets and communication behavior, identifies cross-country differences, and tests how such differences are associated with sociopolitical and economic conditions. We find that social media are the most used sources of science information in most countries, except those with democratic-corporatist media systems where news media tend to be used more widely. People in collectivist soc…
Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries
Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns with a preregistered 68-country survey of 71,922 respondents and found that in most countries, most p…
Negativity in online news coverage of vaccination rates in Serbia: A content analysis
Objective This content analysis study explored how online news media communicates and frames vaccination rates and herd immunity (the effect where enough people are immune, the virus is contained).Methods We analyzed 160 vaccination-related news stories by nine highest-trafficked news websites in Serbia, published July–December 2017, around the start of the measles outbreak. We coded both the news story as a whole and every vaccination-rate menti…

The globalizability of temporal discounting
Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of choice preferences or norms, or rather the absence of sufficient resources for immediate needs. It is also not clear whether these reflect true differences in choice patterns between income groups. We tested temporal discounting an…
A community-sourced glossary of open scholarship terms
Open scholarship has transformed research, and introduced a host of new terms in the lexicon of researchers. The ‘Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Teaching’ (FORRT) community presents a crowdsourced glossary of open scholarship terms to facilitate education and effective communication between experts and newcomers
Does parochial cooperation exist in childhood and adolescence? A meta‐analysis
Although previous meta‐analytic evidence supports the existence of parochialism in cooperation among adults, the extent to which children and adolescents are more willing to incur a personal cost to benefit ingroups, compared to outgroups, is not yet clear. We provide the first meta‐analysis on the existence and magnitude of parochialism in cooperation among pre‐adults. Based on 20 experimental economics studies ( k = 69, N = 5268, age = 3–19, 12…
A systematic review of narrative interventions: Lessons for countering anti-vaccination conspiracy theories and misinformation
Even if a small portion of the population refuses vaccination due to anti-vaccination conspiracy theories or misinformation, this poses a threat to public health. We argue that addressing conspiracy theories with only corrective information is not enough. Instead, considering that they are complex narratives embedded in personal and cultural worldviews, they should be encountered with counternarratives. To identify existing narrative intervention…
Između zvanične istine i ličnog sećanja: Usmene istorije civila i vojnika o post- -jugoslovenskim ratovima 1991–1995
In times of violent conflicts, societies tend to promote narratives that enable successful coping with the situation. Official collective memory can thus provide foundation for a group’s belonging, mobilization, persistence. On the other hand, it often perpetuates the animosity by, for example, delegitimizing (and often dehumanizing) the other side. In this article, we explore whether unofficial personal memories of a violent conflict could mitig…
