  • Sufficiency and care

  • Inequality threat increases laypeople’s, but not judges’, acceptance of algorithmic decision making in court

    Jonas Ludwig, Paul‐michael Heineck et al.ARTICLELaw and Human Behavior2024

    OBJECTIVE: Algorithmic decision making (ADM) takes on increasingly complex tasks in the criminal justice system. Whereas new developments in machine learning could help to improve the quality of judicial decisions, there are legal and ethical concerns that thwart the widespread use of algorithms. Against the backdrop of current efforts to promote the digitization of the German judicial system, this research investigates motivational factors (prag…

  • The Zero Effect

    Open AccessJonas Ludwig, Alexander Jaudas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2024References: 8

    Decision makers often prefer safe wins over risky gambles, even if the latter promise higher payoffs than the former. One mechanism that explains this choice pattern is the certainty effect, whereby probabilities of 0 and 1 are interpreted accurately but intermediate probabilities are distorted by diminishing sensitivity. We tested an alternative explanation that was recently proposed, the idea that people would be motivated by avoiding zero outc…

  • Cues of wealth and the subjective perception of rich people

    Open AccessRobin Rinn, Jonas Ludwig et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    These pre-registered studies shed light on the cues that individuals use to identify rich people. In two studies ( N = 598), we first developed a factor-analytical model that describes the content and the mental structure of 24 wealth cues. A third within-subject study ( N = 89) then assessed the perception of rich subgroups based on this model of wealth cues. Participants evaluated the extent to which the wealth cues applied to two distinct subg…

  • Positive and negative action-effects improve task-switching performance

    Open AccessJonas Ludwig, David Dignath et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2021

    Anticipation of one's own actions' effects drives goal-directed behavior. In multitasking environments, the learning of stable action-effect associations seems particularly important, because establishing reliable response-effect associations for multiple competing tasks may help to differentiate between these tasks and thereby improve task-switching performance. Action-effects not only have cognitive, but also motivational aspects and often the …

  • Errors, fast and slow

    Jonas Ludwig, Fabian K Ahrens et al.ARTICLEThinking & Reasoning2020

    Based on the Dual-Process Diffusion Model, we tested three hypotheses about response times of errors and correct responses in probability judgments. We predicted that correct responses were (1) slower than errors in the case of conflicting decision processes but (2) faster than errors in the case of alignment; and that they were (3) slower in the case of conflict than in the case of alignment. A binary-choice experiment was conducted in which thr…

  • The role of motivation and volition in economic decisions

    Open AccessJonas Ludwig, Alexander Jaudas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2019Cited by: 1References: 8

    Economic decisions usually involve high stakes, real consequences, and some degree of personal risk. This article explores the impact of motivational and volitional states on economic decision processes in an incentivized lottery choice task. We investigated the patterns of decision time, choice, information search, and pupil dilation dependent on an experimental manipulation of motivation and volition, that is, the deliberative and the implement…
