Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The findings show that phrases such as “he or she” did not significantly reduce the tendency to associate political leaders more strongly with men than women. The study points to the complexity of addressing gender stereotypes across different cultural and linguistic contexts. 010
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to bring our basic research into a clinical forum and to see how much potential there is for dialogue between basic and applied science. Huge thanks to our moderators P. Luyten & C. De Meulemeester, and to everyone who supported us from the audience & afar. 100
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Together with my wonderful colleagues, we explored different facets of Self-Other Distinction (SOD) — from motor and cognitive SOD to everyday difficulties and its relevance across conditions such as Borderline Personality Disorder and schizophrenia. 100

Authored by the ManySocialMinds Community and presented at @escaneu.bsky.social in Rome, Italy. 1155
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 18/05/2026What makes me happy every day? My birds :) Just look at them! Please support wildlife in your region: Do not mow your lawn too often (or better, not at all), plant native trees, and provide animals with fresh water on hot days (and always clean your feeder).@birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdlife.at 050
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Throughout the night, we had many interesting conversations. The curiosity and engagement were truly amazing. Tired but very grateful for such an inspiring event and the chance to share our work with the public. Big thanks to @univie.ac.at for the support! 030
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/04/2026We welcomed visitors of all ages to explore brain research, behavior, and human–nature relations—from the rubber hand illusion to building a brain hat and trying out real behavioral tasks from our lab. @lukasmayrhofer.bsky.social was our first "participant" 110
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The Long Night of Research #LNF was an exciting and intense experience for our team! A. Gaiswinkler, @thomaskarner.bsky.social, @sude1001.bsky.social, @annakulesza.bsky.social, Kathi Maichanitsch, Nino Sidar, @emmalwood.bsky.social, @epronizius.bsky.social @scanunit.bsky.social 152
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 12/04/2026This project also laid the foundation for my broader perspective on the value of Big Team Science as a powerful approach to advancing clinically relevant and globally applicable research. 121
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 12/04/2026It was a pleasure to present the results of our multi-center study on Borderline Personality Disorder at the 16th Tagung der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Psychologie in Salzburg. Together with the most fun peeps on earth the @scanunit.bsky.social 160
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 09/04/2026#oegp_2026 "Männerspezifische Psychotherapie für Depressionen" Men don’t cry—or do they? Depression in men is often underdiagnosed, and many men are not used to talking about their mental health. Andreas Walther gave us an overview of depression in men and highlighted how psychoeducation can help. 030
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Very excited about the #ÖGP-Tagung tomorrow. I’ll be talking about Big Team Science in clinical psychology & presenting the results of our multicenter study on social cognition in borderline personality disorder. If you are also there, come and say hi! Together with @scanunit.bsky.social gang! 010
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I got a certificate for counting birds! This will go on my CV for sure :) @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdlife.at What a beauty. I am in love #Birds #wintervogelzählung 150
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Happy New Year! Muss es wirklich sein? .... #BanFireworks #Feuerwerk 020
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 27/12/2025#banFireworks 2025 is close to an end. Let’s just let it pass by. For many wild animals, fireworks can be a death sentence. They get scared & run against windows / buildings in panic. This has nothing to do with celebrating. Pls be mindful of those who cannot speak but share this earth w/ you. #2026 030
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Yesterday, I gave a talk on Open and Reproducible Big Team Science as part of the lecture series hosted by the Psychology Graduate Students’ Association at the University of Alabama, US. I am grateful to Nell and @slewis5920.bsky.social for the invitation and the opportunity. 120
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 12/11/2025I’m so excited to be here! Let the career day begin! This is such an important & much-needed initiative. Judging by the number of sessions I’ve signed up for, you can probably tell how uncertain I am about my next career steps. Will it be industry, research, or ...? Maybe I’ll find out today! 010
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/10/2025If you see a small hedgehog in autumn (like the one in my hands), please take it to a rescue center. Our autumns are too warm, & hedgehog moms now have a 2nd litter. These tiny babies can’t survive winter! This one weighs only 130g (needs 500g). Please keep an eye out! #hedgehog #wildlife 051
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 10/10/2025I am so proud of our amazing @scanunit.bsky.social interns N. Bislimi, @annakulesza.bsky.social, @emmalwood.bsky.social & A. Gaiswinkler, who led the Themen-Café “Trust in Psychological Science in the Age of AI” at the OIS @lbg.ac.at Conference. What a fantastic first step into the academic world! 092
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 22/09/2025We developed a step-by-step guide to crowdsourced multiverse analysis. By involving multiple researchers in defining and running analyses, the process becomes more objective, transparent, and resistant to bias, ensuring that researchers do not cherry-pick which paths to include. 020
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 08/09/2025And so it begins! @osfestivalde.bsky.social 0102
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Join us online for our Festival Follow-Up for reflection, practical skills, and community conversation. Two sessions. One goal: Better research culture. Date & Time Oct 13, 2025 10:00 AM (CET) or 08:00 (UTC). Participation is free, registration is required univienna.zoom.us/meeting/regi... 154
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Surprisingly, economic, cultural, or sociopolitical factors did not explain these differences. Takeaway: Feeling like a personal victim of injustice can fuel conspiratorial beliefs, but how this plays out globally is complex and not easily explained by national-level factors. 100
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 18/07/2025The study examined victim justice sensitivity (VJS) – the tendency to perceive and react to injustice directed at oneself – and its link to conspiracy beliefs. Across 15 countries (N = 14,978), VJS was linked to general conspiracy beliefs as well as specific ones about vaccines and climate change. 100
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Finally, I also met @wldkrenzer.bsky.social @juliabottesini.com in person! :) If I forget anyone, sorry! The conferece week ended with a massive Pride parade, marking history. (c)S. Grinschgl Today, many of us want to be as bold as the Hungarians. I am so proud to know many of them, thanks to SIPS! 160
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I also gave a lightning talk pitching Big Team Science in clinical psychology, discussing strategies to build large collaborative projects with and for vulnerable populations. I am grateful to my collaborators on this work: @aggieerin.bsky.social @clauslamm.bsky.social P. Luyten and N. Bislimi 162
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I moderated the keynote panel II with @lspitzer.bsky.social A. Sarafoglou, @agataboch.bsky.social @leesplez.bsky.social & @martonkovacs.bsky.social. We had a heated debate on how open data should or can be. Do we have the right to keep our data closed, or should we aim for radical transparency? 171
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 29/06/2025On the first day, we hosted Kenote panel I moderated by @balazsaczel.bsky.social with @simine.com, E.J. Wagenmakers, @eikofried.bsky.social, @fidlerfm.bsky.social & @syeducation.bsky.social But first, SIPS President @priyasilverstein gave their opening speech on SIPS’ journey throughout the years. 161
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Closing Rreflection. This June, I chaired #SIPS2025 in Budapest 🇭🇺, celebrating 10y of @improvingpsych.org. It was a vibrant & inspiring meeting. We hosted workshops, hackathons, lightning talks, & unconferences on topics from AI & theory building to radical transparency, detecting data fabrication. 1295
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Day 2 of #SIPS2025 ended with a fabulous boat trip! I’ve been told that SIPSers took part in traditional Hungarian dances led by @martonkovacs.bsky.social and @szaszibarnabas.bsky.social . But what happened on the boat, stays on the boat. Tss! 1277
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/06/2025HC9: Stepping Out of the Meta-Lab: Facilitating Change in Lab-Life Through Developing Manuals Do you have a lab manual? If yes, how often is it updated? If not, why not? Do you need help? #SIPS2025 181
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 26/06/2025UC5: Courage and Cowardice in Academia 2025: a Discussion on How to Move Forward With Integrity in Psychological Science lead by Jason Payne. What a blast to talk about courageous mindsets when navigating academia! Should we, the ECR, pick our battles, or should we be bold and critical? #SIPS2025 0111
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Finally, the first keynote round reflected on past, present, and future of Scientific Reforms. Together with @eikofried.bsky.social @syeducation.bsky.social @simine.com @fidlerfm.bsky.social & EJ Wagenmakers, we discussed what went wrong and what can we do better. What a day! Stay tuned for more OS! 0111
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Next, the SIPS president @priyasilverstein.com gave a speech on the history of SIPS and how much the community plays a role here. 151
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025We started off with a big and fun social game. Balázs gave us the task: “Talk to your neighbor for 4 minutes!” It was a lot of fun. 171
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Opening ceremony at #SIPS2025! @balazsaczel.bsky.social welcomed us at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. He and his team have worked very hard over the past few days to organize an incredible event. 1221
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Incredible @anamartinovici.bsky.social teaches us on how to detect fake data on Qualtrics! "Is this real data? How to detect data fabrication in Qualtrics questionnaires" #SIPS2025 3201
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025How can we fairly address diversity & inequity in academic careers? @vaidis.bsky.social might have some insights! :) For example, are the variables we're currently using to track DEI actually fair? Even within EU, are all European countries truly equal in terms of opportunity? #SIPS2025 021
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Did you know that it's not always possible to tell if a manuscript is a registered report? The SIPSers are discussing this with @wldkrenzer.bsky.social and @akmontoya.bsky.social during the HC3: Creating a Sustainable System for Identifying Registered Reports. @improvingpsych.org 1123
Ekaterina (Katja) Pronizius @epronizius.bsky.social · 24/06/2025We did it! we really met in beautiful Budapest. Tomorrow we start working on improving psychological science together. Go #sips2025 @improvingpsych.org 091
