What is a good social scientific theory? How can we construct it? @adrianmeier.bsky.social and I discussed these questions and presented hand’s-on-methods in our “Theory Construction”-workshop at #RezFo2025. Many thanks @uschwertberger.bsky.social, @annaschorn.bsky.social & Jana Keil for having us!

How do nature documentaries entertain us hedonically & eudaimonically? What's the role of awe & suspense? Do they inspire conservation or travel, increasing CO2 footprint? Findings from our experiments are now published in Mass Comm & Society (open access): www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

💡 Wofür braucht es Theorien? Was ist eine gute Theorie? Wie kann man praktisch Theoriebildung betreiben? Diese Fragen beantworteten @adrianmeier.bsky.social und @dpossler.bsky.social in ihrem Theorieworkshop am IfP. Wir danken für den wertvollen Input!

Excited to share that I've rejoined @hmtmh.bsky.social as a Postdoc! I am grateful for the amazing 1.5 years at the Uni Wuerzburg and already miss the team, but I am also thrilled to be back in Hannover, collaborating with old friends, and spending more time with family thanks to less commuting.

📣In 3 studies (N=1520) now published in the Journal of Comm (doi.org/10.1093/joc/...), @annafreytag.bsky.social & I examined the effects of nature documentaries that portray the beauty & destruction of nature on viewers' entertainment experience & pro-environmental intentions. A short summary 1/6 🧵
