SigmaCan we approach a normal distribution with µ = 0 and σ = 1?
Please share so we get a pretty graph. ^^"

Walter Tross@sigmasternchen I think people don't pay enough attention to that σ = 1 part
Nicole Göbel@waltertross @sigmasternchen ... as a psychologist I rather tried to guess the so far most neglected number in relation to the goal.
@waltertross @sigmasternchen Firstly, I suspected that people would prefer + to -, and secondly, I know that people tend towards the middle, which is 2 rather than 1, since 0 is hard to imagine as anything at all. So I thought the best way to balance the likely overuse of +2 was to choose -2. But I underestimated the neglect of -1 and +1.
@waltertross @sigmasternchen maybe the effect to prefer + over - could be reduced bay actually writing +1, +2, +3.
@nicolegoebel @waltertross I actually though about doing that, but I decided to use spaces instead, so everything is aligned nicely. Little did I know that some software (including mastodon) doesn’t display spaces in polls. 🙈
@sigmasternchen @waltertross I wouldn't have thought about it until now 😅
But actually, it could be nice testing those hypotheses more systematically 🤔
