In this project, we will test whether effort moralization (moralizing effort in behaviors) is influenced by cognitive fatigue. This is derived from motivational theories, showing that fatigue increases effort perceptions for our own tasks. Potentially, this extends to the tasks of other as well...

Very interesting and I think it would be so important to have more of this! Yet, I think especially for ECRs who are often measured by number of papers, the incentives are also not appropriately designed to keep up already published work, or am I overlooking something?

We hope to extend this work in the future to better understand the dose-response relationship between cognitive fatigue and task persistence.

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Indeed, when being allowed to leave, fatigued individuals disengaged earlier than the control group and performed worse on the task (up to 1h of Stroop task: 2,400 trials).

Differences in persistence and performance by experimental group (fatigue high or low). Further, a plot of engagement over time by participants, showing that many persisted, but participants from the hgih fatigue group disengaged earlier.

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Further, based on the psychobiological model of endurance, we assume that the effect of fatigue would be motivational, leading to task disengagement. This means that we don't believe they get worse, but don't want to engage. Hence, we allowed participants to leave the main task whenever they wanted.

We asked participants in the experimental group to engage in 1 hour of adaptive, cognitive tasks. This means that the task's difficulty adjusts to your ability and gets harder if you perform better. The lucky control group watched a nature documentary in the mean time.

Consequently, there seems to be a disconnect between psychological data and everyday experiences. In our experiment (N = 321), we tested how cognitive fatigue might bridge this gap. Yet, most prior research used tasks, which are not long or hard enough for participants to be really fatigued.

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

Looks very interesting. Are there very different standards what a pre-reg has to contain, compared to psychology? The cited durations for completing a pre-reg seem very long to me, but maybe they are much more specific?

29 scholars reflect on their participation in adversarial collaborations: “Rather than producing a clear 'winner,' the most common outcome was a deeper understanding of the problem space through the integration of opposing perspectives” Open Access: doi.org/10.1007/s111... #MetaSci #Methodology 🧪

There is much enthusiasm, in principle, for adversarial collaborations (ACs), a scientific conflict resolution technique that encourages investigators with clashing models to collaborate in designing studies that test competing predictions. Adversarial collaborations offer the promise of breaking deadlocked debates, resolving disputes, and providing a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of a research domain. In practice, however, adversarial collaborations are more the exception than the rule, and there is almost no evidence on how scholars who have ventured into ACs assess the experience. To understand these perspectives, we surveyed and interviewed 29 scholars who participated in 13 AC projects. The data revealed that interpersonal conflicts were generally minor, that these projects required more upfront effort than typical collaborations, but benefited from high-quality results and more thoughtful post-publication debates. Rather than producing a clear “winner,” the most common outcome was a deeper understanding of the problem space through the integration of opposing perspectives. Although the generalizability of these findings is limited by a sample consisting only of scholars who completed an AC, they nonetheless highlight the value of ACs as a tool for advancing scientific inquiry and offer practical guidance for scholars and journals exploring this approach.

Ah ok. I thought PCI was on „vacation“ now, so we submitted before the portal closes in July. Yes, it’s one of the projects where students otherwise beg friends/family to fill the study, so funding would definitely be nice😬

Ah ok, I thought this was specifically aimed at early career researchers.

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Sure thing, but „necessary“ is no objective measure here. There is usually a fine line between increasing efficiency and saving it into the ground, like the massive reduction of overheads in the US currently. So cost-saving is also an easily weaponizable construct.

000

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

If we believe that this sum can’t be changed, it also won’t. This is something that needs to be politically addressed. Yet, I’m skeptic that making us smaller and smaller will lead to anyone having more grant money in the end. Rather, it will be a political efficiency gain and taken elsewhere.

100

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Absolutely, more money for research is always great, but we should value education enough to finance research and people who administer it, which are often former academics as well. And coaching people to become reviewers is also great, but not everyone has the capacity for this (eg care work).

100

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Ofc „the government“ doesn’t do it by themselves, as efficient organizations always do labor distribution. Yet, at least here, you won’t find a section in any academics contract, that the institution allocates X hours to do reviews. So it likely comes down to unpaid extra work.

100

Leopold Roth @leopoldroth.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

So, at least where I live, the biggest grant agency is a governmental institution. What would be the argument that I have to do work for the government in order to use a service which is already financed through my taxes? Doesn’t happen when getting a new passport either.

I think a problem to this is also that these products are often grant-funded, so everything has to happen in 3 years and afterwards there are no real resources for improvement/keeping it updated.

NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social Read here ➡️ osf.io/tn8mh

In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.
