Congratulations, Dr Nico!🧑‍🎓 In a spectacular race, Nico Ehrhardt completed and defended his doctorate titled "Understanding AI Adoption: Trust, Delegation, and Acceptance Under Uncertainty". While we are proud of him, we are also sad to see him leave the lab. But for now, let's celebrate!🕺

Does the use of social media for work yield benefits, or are positive correlations merely selection effects? We disentangle within- and between-person effects. Main result: When people use social media more than usual, they report higher values on the outcomes, hinting towards media effects.

🚀 New publication! Can people tell if a science post is from a scientist or a layperson? Not always - platform design (fast scrolling, hidden profiles) makes it difficult. Across 2 experiments, @sonja-utz.de and I show how users confuse the two. Full paper 👉 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

What a scenic place to learn about #smartphone addiction: At the 'Social Connections & Well-Being in the Digital Era' Summer School on #LakeComo, our lab member Caro learned from experts on (dis)connection, media use,& #genAI. Exchanges with other scholars (yes, analogue ones) made it even more fun🌅
