Can a professor be a woman? Gendered perceptions in a riddle experiment
This preregistered study examined how unconscious gender schemas, demographic characteristics, and life experiences influence the recognition of women in academic authority roles. A sample of US-based students (n = 1,686) was presented with a riddle task modelled after the classic surgeon scenario, adapted to a university setting. Solving the riddle required identifying a professor as the child’s mother, thereby challenging traditional gender sch…
Support for temporary protection of displaced populations in the EU: A conjoint experiment
Millions of people were forced to flee Ukraine after Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022, one of the fastest displacements in decades. Citizens' response in EU countries (where most displaced Ukrainians arrived) has been considerably more positive than in past refugee crises. This study investigates several possible drivers of this difference. We conduct a large conjoint experiment in six EU Member States, eliciting willingness to provide temp…
Do male and female authors employ different journal choice strategies
Compared to their male colleagues, female scientists are less likely to secure senior positions and more likely to drop out of academia. The mechanisms behind these patterns have been the subject of debate in recent years, entailing serious policy implications. In this project we investigate one such mechanism, namely the journal submission strategies of male and female authors. In view of the evidence pertaining to higher self-confidence and/or …
Becoming-with Donkeyness
As an environmental humanist, I grab a camera to mediate the world around me. The short film LAND/SCAPE (2020), cocreated by two donkeys (Dondolo and Giorgiana), fellow PhD candidate Giulia Lepori, and me, was filmed on the Mediterranean island of Sicily in the Valley of Sagana. As part of our doctoral projects, we were involved in managing the land in that valley and in undertaking caring performances among this lively meshwork. Simona Trecarich…
Digital piracy and the perception of price fairness: Evidence from a field experiment
We study a relationship between perceived price fairness and digital piracy. In a large-scale field experiment on customers of a leading ebook store, we employ the Bayesian truth serum to elicit the information on acquiring books from unauthorized sources (often referred to as digital piracy). We provide empirical evidence in support of the conjecture that willingness to “pirate” is associated with having experienced subjective overpricing. We pr…
Echoes of Ecologies: Quest(s) for Sustainability, Writing, and Activism
In January 2016 our customary lives caught their breath to get on a plane that would begin our itinerant project in South America- four months of traveling life that we enclosed in an independent ethno-graphic research named Echoes of Ecologies: a blog collection of practices of ecological sustainability. Since its conception, the plural title was chosen to acknowledge the great variety of nuances within the words ecology and sustainability. From…
Task difficulty and overconfidence. Evidence from distance running
Do gender and physical attractiveness affect college grades
In this study, data on grades awarded for bachelor and master theses at a large Polish university were used to identify possible discrimination on gender or physical attractiveness. The focus is on the gap between the grades awarded by the advisor (who knows the student personally) and the referee (who typically does not, so that gender is less salient and attractiveness is not observable). This provides an excellent control for actual quality of…
Are We All Overconfident in the Long Run? Evidence from One Million Marathon Participants
In this project, we measured overconfidence in a large, heterogeneous sample making familiar, repeated choices in a natural environment that provided direct feedback. Specifically, in study 1, we elicited predictions of own finishing time among participants of the 2012 Warsaw Marathon. The participants' prediction errors were highly correlated with the change in pace over the course of the run: overly optimistic forecasters slowed down more in th…

Biofilm Formation and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis Strains from a Hospital Environment
The hospital environment microflora comprise a wide variety of microorganisms which are more or less pathogenic and where staphylococci are one of the most common types. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the prevalence of the biofilm forming coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) in a hospital environment as a risk factor for nosocomial infections. Among 122 isolated and tested strains of CoNS the most frequent were: S. epidermidis-…
