  • Public Communication about Science in 68 Countries: Global Evidence on How People Encounter and Engage with Information about Science

    Open AccessNiels G Mede, Viktoria Cologna et al.ARTICLEScience Communication2025References: 11

    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…

  • A worldwide test of the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching

    10,358) across 43 countries and 22 languages to estimate preference-matching effect sizes. The most rigorous tests revealed significant preference-matching effects in the whole sample and for partnered and single participants separately. The "corrected pattern metric" that collapses across 35 traits revealed a zero-order effect of β = .19 and an effect of β = .11 when included alongside a normative preference-matching metric. Specific traits in t…

  • Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries

    Open AccessViktoria Cologna, Niels G Mede et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025Cited by: 7References: 76

    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…

  • Extending the Choice Architecture Toolbox: The Choice Context Exploration

    Open AccessNandor Hajdu, Balazs Aczel et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2023

    The importance of context in behavioral interventions is undeniable, yet few intervention studies begin with a systematic investigation of the contextual factors that influence the behavior in question. This is largely due to the lack of a reliable method for doing so. In recognition of this gap in the field, we have developed a procedure called the Choice Context Exploration that uses machine learning tools to examine the contextual factors that…

  • A many-analysts approach to the relation between religiosity and well-being

    Open AccessSuzanne Hoogeveen, Alexandra Sarafoglou et al.ARTICLEReligion Brain & Behavior2023

    The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in the psychology of religion, yet the directionality and robustness of the effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess the robustness of this relation based on a new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-…

  • A Systematic Scoping Review of the Choice Architecture Movement: Toward Understanding When and Why Nudges Work

    Open AccessBarnabas Szaszi, Anna Pálinkás et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2017Cited by: 25References: 5

    In this paper, we provide a domain‐general scoping review of the nudge movement by reviewing 422 choice architecture interventions in 156 empirical studies. We report the distribution of the studies across countries, years, domains, subdomains of applicability, intervention types, and the moderators associated with each intervention category to review the current state of the nudge movement. Furthermore, we highlight certain characteristics of th…
