Perceived surveillance pos. related to active protection only in 🇩🇪 & 🇺🇸. Self-inhibition more common response to surveillance in our sample (although not significant in 🇧🇷). Perceiving active protection as effective strategy to avoid digital surveillance: higher active protection and self-inhibition.

At this year’s #MePsy25 conference in Duisburg, I presented a position paper about “small” media effects. While our field lacks objective criteria to decide when such effects are practically relevant, I proposed 5 criteria that can help deciding about relevance. Slides & paper on osf 👉 osf.io/d2ah7/

- Update - If you are interested in #science #skepticism - there have been some updates to our preprint including introcuding a short version of our new scale. Also the first time I formatted an article with #latex - pretty easy and amazing outcome🤩 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

For the next two weeks, I'll be visiting the dep. of comm. science at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social to work together with @masurphil.bsky.social on a longitudinal study about #privacy and #dataveillance. Is felt surveillance related to neg. consequences only or are there pos. ones too?
