New article out in RSOS. Led by Jan F Weis, we show that self-compassion predicts positive affect and modulates changes in self-esteem in response to performing our Learning-of-Effort-Efficacy (LOEE) task. Joint work with @soerenkrach.bsky.social and @fmpaulus.bsky.social doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

In this new study published open access in Translational Medicine @springernature.com we show that in a sample of clinically depressed people, higher symptom burden is related to reduced learning from positive prediction errors and aberrant neural response to neg PEs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Preprint! Led by Jan F Weis, we show that self-compassion predicts positive affect and self-esteem, & protects self-esteem in low performers. Also, positive affect reflects reward expectations & prediction errors, and regret, but independently from self-compassion. #selfcompassion bit.ly/SC_PA_SE

(Vicarious) Paper Alert for @finnluebber.bsky.social et al. Funding schemes that run a lottery to select scientists for submission of full grant proposals can counteract gender bias and reduce societal monetary costs of research funding. Check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Self-esteem modulates beneficial causal attributions in the formation of novel self-beliefs
Healthy individuals typically attribute successes to internal causes, such as their abilities, and failures to external factors, like bad luck. In contrast, individuals with depression and low self-es...

Initial Expectations and Confidence Affect the Formation of Novel Self—Beliefs and Their Revision
Abstract. Human self-beliefs hinge on social feedback, but their formation and revision are not solely based on new information. Biases during learning, such as confirming initial expectations, can le...
