It was a pleasure to serve as a member of the Technical Advisory Group for Behavioral and Cultural Insights (BCI) in the previous years. The BCI unit @WHO_Europe is doing a tremendous job and it was great supporting them.

What a wonderful investigation of predictions from Prospect Theory in a field study. Cool data and some nuanced insights. Well done, @mkasper_ & Anna Esslinger! This will go in my next lecture on the topic.

I contributed to this review paper led by @PhilippMSchmid, where we summarize the behavioral evidence on vaccination mandates, their alternatives and complements.
In this Review, Schmid et al. present a toolbox of interventions informed by psychological science to tackle vaccine hesitancy that are complements or alternatives to vaccine mandates

Does emphasizing herd immunity increase people's motivation to get vaccinated? This meta-analysis builds on @leonhard_reiter's outstanding master’s thesis (!), which was a true pleasure to supervise. It provides invaluable insights for both research and public health efforts. 👇

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION 🚨 in Health Psychology: " The More the Merrier? Two Online Experiments on How Decoys Can Increase Vaccine Uptake" together with Lars Korn, @anaps_santana & @CorneliaBetsch doi.org/10.1037/hea0001378 (1/4) 🧵👇
Across two preregistered studies (total N = 2,484), we found evidence of a decoy effect: the intention to get vaccinated with a superior vaccine (target) increased when an alternative was available that was either less effective or had more severe side effects (decoy). (3/4)
Our results suggest that health communication programs must be designed carefully, as multiple options act as evaluative anchors, which can induce preference shifts. (4/4)
New research alert! @PNASNexus
People systematically and selectively underestimate the income of the top 1%, but not of other percentiles. This matters for policy and redistribution!
