‘Please put your statistics where we can see them’
The use of firearms by the police in Germany lacks systematic research, despite its significance for understanding police work and accountability. This paper examines police firearm use through exploratory research, official statistics, and civil society data sources, contextualising findings within international police research. Unlike the United States, German research shows significant gaps and relies mainly on limited official statistics. Civ…
Das letzte Mittel staatlicher Gewalt
Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die vorhandene Datengrundlage sowie den aktuellen Forschungsstand zum polizeilichen Schusswaffengebrauch. Zunächst werden die in Deutschland geltenden rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen analysiert, unter denen Polizeikräfte von ihrer Schusswaffe Gebrauch machen dürfen, wobei sowohl die öffentlich-rechtliche Ermächtigung als auch die strafrechtliche Rechtfertigung betrachtet werde…
Rational choices elicit stronger sense of agency in brain and behavior
The sense of agency is the subjective feeling of control over one's own actions and the associated outcomes. Here, we asked whether and to what extent the reasons behind our choices (operationalized by value differences, expected utility, and counterfactual option sets) drive our sense of agency. We simultaneously tested these three dimensions during a novel value-based decision-making task while recording explicit (self-reported) and implicit (b…
Joint action partners modulate the first step of an action sequence to communicate a distal goal
Herkunftsspezifische Unterschiede im Privatschulbesuch
In Deutschland ist die Zahl der Privatschulen seit 1992 erheblich gestiegen, insbesondere in Ostdeutschland. Diese Schulen werden überwiegend von SchülerInnen aus sozioökonomisch privilegierten Haushalten besucht, während Kinder aus einkommensschwachen Familien seltener vertreten sind. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir, ob die räumliche Verteilung der Privatschulen mit sozialen Ungleichheiten beim Privatschulbesuch im Zusammenhang steht. Hierfür …
Labor division in collaborative visual search
When looking for a certain object or person, individuals often engage in collaborative visual search, i.e., they search together by coordinating their behavior. For instance, when parents are looking for their child on a busy playground, they might search collaboratively by dividing the search area. This type of labor division in collaborative visual search could be beneficial not only in daily life, but also in professional life (e.g., at airpor…
When eyes beat lips
Eye contact is a dynamic social signal that captures attention and plays a critical role in human communication. In particular, direct gaze often accompanies communicative acts in an ostensive function: a speaker directs her gaze towards the addressee to highlight the fact that this message is being intentionally communicated to her. The addressee, in turn, integrates the speaker’s auditory and visual speech signals (i.e., her vocal sounds and li…
Crossmodal correspondences as common ground for joint action
When performing joint actions, people rely on common ground - shared information that provides the required basis for mutual understanding. Common ground can be based on people's interaction history or on knowledge and expectations people share, e.g., because they belong to the same culture or social class. Here, we suggest that people rely on yet another form of common ground, one that originates in their similarities in multisensory processing.…
