For ~20%, smartphone use is stress‑inducing, but usage patterns matter ⭐ doi.org/10.1177/1461... 162

David Lacko @davidlacko.bsky.social · 24/03/2026What drives support for violent extremism? In our new paper in PNAS (58 countries; N > 18,000), we show it’s not one mindset: 👉 Defensive (protect the ingroup) 👉 Offensive (seek dominance) Defensive motives are more common—but only offensive ones track societal violence. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...doi.orgPNASProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans... 011
David Lacko @davidlacko.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Our new paper on the paradox of acceptance. Acceptance is central in ACT, but our longitudinal data show nuance: 👉 Lower depression across individuals 👉 But increases in acceptance can precede higher depression Not all acceptance is the same. doi.org/10.1002/jclp... #Psychology #MentalHealth #ACTdoi.org 131
David Lacko @davidlacko.bsky.social · 30/01/2026🧠 New preprint! We study reaction time modeling in self-report surveys across online vs. lab administration and single- vs. multiple-item formats, and complement RTs with eye-tracking and heart-rate measures to capture response processes. osf.io/preprints/ps... #Psychometrics #ReactionTimesosf.ioOSF 010
David Lacko @davidlacko.bsky.social · 27/11/2025🚨 New preprint! We reviewed 263 studies on racial & ethnic prejudice measures. Most are psychometrically weak and conceptually narrow. Only 4% meet high-quality standards. We call for rigorous, theory-driven, culturally sensitive tools. 📖 osf.io/xwbyz_v1 #PrejudiceResearch #SocialPsychologyosf.ioOSF 083
