🎃 My #HALLOWEEN treat for you is a new #PUBLICATION 🎃

In #ComputationalCommunicationResearch, we present a semantic validation of using #WordEmbedding metrics to assess implicit group #stereotyping in text corpora: https://doi.org/10.5117/CCR2025.1.14.MULL

Last but not least, this validates our own study on "differential #racism in the #news", published in #PoliticalCommunication back in 2023: https://doi.org/10.1080/10584609.2023.2193146

A new study estimates that 58% of studies #preregistered on #OSF before November 2017 have been conducted but not yet publicly shared. "Emails asking researchers why studies remained unpublished, logistical issues (e.g., lack of time, researchers changing jobs) were the most common cause, followed by null results and rejections during peer review."

New preprint from our group: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/hwzsc_v1

A field-experiment tested whether a brief stress management intervention could improve police performance in a simulated training exercise for police students. We found self-rated stress to be associated with lower observer-rated performance. The "tactical breathing" intervention led to improved performance. The intervention was not associated with perceiving stress as lower.

From @balazsaczel: Don't let the value of confirmatory studies (to test #preregistered hypotheses) eclipse the need for exploratory studies (to develop the hypothesis needed for #preregistration).
