- Happy to share our (almost) new Stage 1 Registered Report at @pci-regreports.bsky.social with @tassilotissot.bsky.social and many bluesky-less collaborators from the @jresearcherprog.bsky.social, testing the effect of fatigue on effort moralization in multiple countries. osf.io/exgm6/files/...
- 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...

- We are currently collecting data from ~25 countries and are still seeking collaborators to either collect data or donate data collections in other countries, in exchange for becoming co-authors on the project. #PsychSciSky #SocialPsyc #Fatigue #Morality

We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data. If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition. eiko-fried.com/warn-d-machi...

- 🎉new paper out in Motivation Science🎉 Why are we eating fries when ego-depletion is wrong🍟? While there is little evidence that ego-depletion (inhibited self-control after brief demands) is a robust effect, many have experienced troubles with their goals when being tired...
- 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.

- 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.

- Reposted by Leopold RothI wrote a blogpost on something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: how metascientists could (and should) think more about their users when designing tools and reforms. Would love to hear any thoughts on this topic! #metascience #usercentered
