Deterministic time-based predictability of vibrotactile stimulation reduces user response time
System delays can affect user experience and performance. We conducted two experiments where we investigated whether time-based predictability of vibrotactile stimulation could reduce user response time. In a two-choice reaction task, participants responded to vibrotactile stimulation to their fingers by key presses. We manipulated the predictivity of delays, so that they would be deterministically predictive (in Exp. 1) or probabilistically pred…
Institutional Trust in Crisis? Conceptual and Methodological Challenges in Measuring Institutional Trust
Trust is a fundamental aspect of social life and essential for the proper functioning of democratic systems. In recent years, a growing number of studies and public discourses have diagnosed a crisis of trust in key public institutions. Such verdicts often rely on large‐scale surveys and experiments that aim to measure institutional trust. But how is trust exactly measured in these contexts, and what underlying conceptual assumptions shape these …
Less is more: The effect of visiting duration on the perceived restorativeness of museums
Feel the atmosphere: A qualitative study on spatial experiences in contemporary Muße architecture
In an ever-accelerating world, experiences free of outcome expectancy and time pressure for the pursuit of intrinsic activities are increasingly rare. Such moments are described by the German term ‘Muße’. This qualitative study focused on prototypical objects of contemporary Muße architecture. The aim was to investigate empirically how individuals experience such spaces via their ambient atmosphere using semi-structured interviews. By Grounded Th…
(Not) in my city: An explorative study on social acceptance of photovoltaic installations on buildings
Existing buildings provide high surface potential for photovoltaic (PV) installations. When deciding whether a building is suitable for solar energy harvesting, social acceptance needs to be considered. While PV is accepted in general, research regarding the acceptance of PV for specific types of buildings is sparse. In two explorative studies, we investigated the building-specific acceptance of PV installations, taking new PV module designs into…

Time-based task expectancy: Perceptual task indicator expectancy or expectancy of post-perceptual task components
The temporal predictability of upcoming events plays a crucial role in the adjustment of anticipatory cognitive control in multitasking. Previous research has demonstrated that task switching performance improved if tasks were validly predictable by a pre-target interval. Hence, far, the underlying cognitive processes of time-based task expectancy in task switching have not been clearly defined. The present study investigated whether the effect o…
Investigating time-based expectancy beyond binary timing scenarios: Evidence from a paradigm employing three predictive pre-target intervals
When the duration of a pre-target interval probabilistically predicts the identity of the target, participants typically form time-based expectancies: they respond faster to frequent interval-target combinations than to infrequent ones. Yet, previous research investigating the cognitive time-processing mechanisms underlying time-based expectancy assessed time-based expectancy always in situations with a binary set of intervals (i.e. short vs. lon…
In the dark cube: Movie theater context enhances the valuation and aesthetic experience of watching films
There is a worldwide increase in feature film releases each year. While a theatrical release is still the primary release form, more and more films are watched via online streaming in home cinemas. Watching films at home is unquestionably high in convenience, but an understudied question is, how this shift in context-from the movie theater to the home cinema-affects the cinematic experience while watching a feature film. To test this, aesthetic e…

Timing affect: Dimension-specific time-based expectancy for affect
Affective information in our environment is often predictable by time; for example, positive answers are typically given faster than negative ones. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, that humans can implicitly adapt to time-based affect predictability. Participants were asked to categorize words, with the words' irrelevant valences being predictable by the timing of their occurrence. Adaptation to this pattern became evident by better perfo…
