Thinking Through Parenthood
An overwhelming majority of the human population end up parenting a child, and the concept of family is arguably one of the most shared across societies. Thus, most people will at some point engage in thought processes about the prospect of becoming a parent, a prospect coupled with uncertainties (e.g., “Should I? Do I want to? Can I?”). The psychological processes underlying how individuals think about this decision—and what dispositional factor…
Enriching Psychological Research by Exploring the Source and Nature of Noise
In psychological research, noise is often considered a nuisance that obscures rather than contributes information. This simplification overlooks that noise can be informative and that by exploring the nature of the noise one can often draw additional conclusions concerning the underlying psychological processes. It is arguably only in recent years that the mainstream of researchers has taken this idea to heart and demonstrated that it can lead to…
Insights into the accuracy of social scientists' forecasts of societal change
Precise/not precise (PNP)
In 1956, Brunswik proposed a definition of what he called intuitive and analytic cognitive processes, not in terms of verbally specified properties, but operationally based on the observable error distributions. In the decades since, the diagnostic value of error distributions has generally been overlooked, arguably because of a long tradition to consider the error as exogenous (and irrelevant) to the process. Based on Brunswik’s ideas, we develo…
Preference or ability
Key issues in the behavioral sciences are if there exist stable risk preferences that generalize across domains and if these are best measured by revealed risk preference (RRP) in behavioral decision tasks or by surveys eliciting stated risk preference (SRP). We applied network analysis to data from a representative Swedish sample to investigate the relations between RRP, SRP, personality characteristics, and cognitive abilities, using in total o…
