Here is my recent baby which I'm proud of (w @W_Milcz). It summarizes my lat 8 years of studying the effects of thinking in a foreign language. A vivid experience for everyone who lived abroad for longer than hollidays (maybe that was already enough?) https://t.co/K819YyuDhH
new paper @SJDM_Tweets
We tested if there is something off in moral judgments of socially problematic youth, specifically those placed by family courts in preventive facilities that are to prevent deep socialization

When hospitals treat patients in their second language, they may unknowingly influence critical medical decisions. Our new research reveals a troubling pattern with serious ethical implications. #PatientRights#HealthcareEthics
Research by @W_Milcz et al into a potential foreign language effect on risk aversion suggests (a) there is no foreign language effect and (b) verbal probability expressions (“likely” v “70% chance”) eliminate risk aversion (!) https://t.co/m4aLGrF2dO

🧵 THREAD: Just published in JDM! When we use verbal expressions like "likely" or "uncertain" to describe risk (instead of numbers like "70%"), something unexpected happens - people show NO RISK AVERSION at all! 1/8
My lab got funded for the next 4 years. Thanks @NCN_PL
I will be looking for a PhD student willing to work on reputation management and decision-making.
@mbialek82@xphilosopher My intuition would be to get rid of all the modifiers - negation, quantifiers (i.e. all the 'very's, 'virtually's and what not) to see the underlying numerical expression. Only after that see how the modifiers work, not mentioning all the contexts (and lack thereof). Cool stuff!
Bullshit (vs regular or mundane) descriptions of paintings have only negligible impact on quality and pricing judgments in #satyrykon gallery-goers. In short - art defends itself. w/@aniadidit@W_Milcz and twitterless Urbanek, Zagrobelny and Luty.

I'm looking for a postdoc. Working on debiasing with a focus on language. Located in Wrocław, but largely remotely is also an option. Pay's better than prof, enough to make a living in pl. Please repost
