Want to make your research look, feel, & function like real online choices? I'm making a tool called Experimental Realism AI to do that. Try it out! bit.ly/41YUxzk Check out our examples at the above link (e.g., Amazon consumer choice, Netflix, ..) along with how to integrate this with Qualtrics.

This is a terrible outcome. In my research, I've shown the subscription cancellation problem is big The click-to-cancel rule was poised to make meaningful progress on this problem Now we're back to the sludge The result will be less competition, higher prices, and lower quality.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior. 📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.

Crystal Reeck, @kellenmrkva.bsky.social, @ericjjohnson.bsky.social, and I just wrote an article about digital design -- nudges and dark patterns. Though they can help people make good choices, they must be used wisely. Bad actors frequently use them to mislead. Check it out!
