If you're interested in joining our young team as an RA at the University of Zurich, don't hesitate to send me an email (details and contact info in linked file)!

Great symposium on individual and age-related differences in judgment and decision making at #SPS2022 with Renato Frey @[email protected], loreen_tisdall, Sebastian Horn, Rui Mata, and Nadine Schmidt! Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research

Apply for a chance to share an office with me! Oh yeah, and to do cool research too

Had fun giving this short LaTeX tutorial today! See github.com/oliviafischer/… if you're interested in a very (!) basic introduction incl. useful resources and a simple template in APA 7 style.

This week Sudeep Bhatia @sdpbht is visiting our lab, exciting and fun discussions on NLP and risky choice! With Olivia Fischer and Renato Frey @[email protected]

When the university has generous funding :) Thanks Samuel Aeschbach @ZakirHu95028760 for making my occasional visits fom University of Zurich to Universität Basel possible!

We are conducting a survey to collect as many frequency measures of risk taking as possible ("How often/many...?"). If you are familiar with such measures or have used them in your own research, we would be grateful if you could participate: of.cbdr-lab.net/rir/20_riskres… Thank you!

Von Fabienne Wehrli Universität Zürich: "Teilnehmende für neue Studie zu Sexualität in Partnerschaften gesucht. Mach mit und erhalte eine individuelle Auswertung zu deiner Beziehungszufriedenheit, sexueller Funktion und Selbstwert" Gerne teilen! 🔗 Link: rq3281.customervoice360.com/uc/DIADS_Valid…

Shoutout to Aaron Lob for giving a fascinating talk about situational variability in everyday risk taking at this year's MathPsych #iccmpsyched Society for Mathematical Psychology. Overjoyed to be part of the same team Universität Zürich Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research!

Grateful for the opportunity to present ongoing research on the many definitions and operationalizations of #polarization at this year's MathPsych conference #iccmpsyched Thank you to everyone who offered valuable insights and provided feedback! Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research

What are risks that people face in life, and how can knowledge about them inform research? Renato Frey @[email protected] presented this exciting ongoing project about the ecology of risk at #spudm2023 last week. Stay tuned for updates!

What a pleasure to present our polarization project at #spudm2023! If you're interested in the many operationalizations of polarization and one particular way you can model it, check out our preprint: psyarxiv.com/bv496 Critical feedback welcome!

Which factors predict real-life risky choices and how can we investigate these? Aaron Lob presented his research on using think-aloud protocols and ecological momentary assessment to address these questions at SRAEurope. Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research

Are the risks behavioral scientists typically investigate the same risks that people face in their lives? Olivia Fischer talked about the similarities and differences in three perspectives on risky choices at SRAEurope. More to come! Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research

We had a guest! Rebecca West presented her work at Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research this week, talking about modeling people's confidence under uncertainty.

Finally taking the time to promote an amazing preprint lead by Olivia Fischer together with Renato Frey @[email protected] on "The many operationalizations of polarization": psyarxiv.com/bv496/ 🥳👩‍🔬

Taking on the long journey from ETH Zürich, Alina Gerlach and Elaine Strittmatter visited us Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research, Olivia Fischer, Renato Frey @[email protected] to talk about how people perceive and react to uncertainty. Very interesting discussions! You can check out their work here: wop.ethz.ch

🚨 New article 🚨 Excited to see this work with Olivia Fischer and @jeitzi93 finally out. In a data-driven analysis of TED talks, we show how the use of affect impacts public engagement with scientific content on YouTube. Article: rdcu.be/dvrQb
