Effectively directing your smartphone use?

Together with great @lorenz_spreen & @frederikRiedel, we tested @one_sec_app's effectiveness to help control your app consumption, now published in @PNASNews!

For a quick guide through the paper see @lorenz_spreen's thread summary:

Very happy to share our latest work published today in @PNASNews!
Led by @GruningJ and working with @frederikRiedel, we tested how the self-nudging app @one_sec_app changes people's app usage in a field-experiment, and focused on the mechanism in a lab-experiment. Short thread:

It's a universal feeling so now you can put a name to it.

A bit more context on the new group (website follows soon): We will aim to understand how increased connectivity and online environments, specifically algorithmic curation and network structures, affect public discourse and political behaviour, as well as cultural evolution. 1/4

Very excited to finally share our preprint after three years in the making! With @rubenarslan @AnaSKozyreva @Briony_Swire @michael_geers_ @stefanmherzog and Ralph Hertwig @arc_mpib, we assessed the motives of very active users for posting content. (1/x)

I know it's the end of semester and all of us are super busy!
In case you're interested interested in the messy states of concepts, constructs, & measures, @GruningJ & I have an unconference at online #SIPS2024, where we seek to compile a reading list on this topic

[Hu Chuan-Peng | @hcp4715.bsky.social @hcp4715]

Honored to be part of this panel!!!

How effective can @one_sec_app be after one year of using it?

Our new publication at the @acm_chi conference on Hawaii shows:

(see diagrams)

It turns out to be a great companion to keep social media usage balanced long-term – not just as a quick digital detox fix.

I, myself, have been using one sec nonstop since I created it in 2020 and I couldn't live without it – and we see many happy users who are reporting the same.

I’m super thrilled to continue working on the app!

But not only that: we were also able to replicate our results from last year’s PNAS publication which showed a reduction of app usage by 57%.

@LukeHaliburton, Nađa, @albrechtschmidt, @GruningJ: Thanks a lot for the great collaboration 🥰🥰

Interested in meta-science? Come do a PhD with me and @maltoesermalte at @unibe in beautiful Switzerland. Open topic although we focus on error detection (see @error_reviews) and flexibility in measurement & methods. Email or DM either of us for details. Topic ideas welcome!
