Our article on carbon taxation support in Germany is out now in @JEnvPsych: https://t.co/CuOkhdvJVp (Open Access). We extended the Campbell paradigm to two more cost parameters (yes, a more complex model!) to see how characteristics of the carbon tax shape policy support. /1

@Ottostadt Die Autos sind auch einfach gefahren (hatten ja kein Rot). War also haarscharf. Könntet ihr euch die Situation mal ansehen (Stichwort: Alternative für Fußgänger*innen und Ampel abkleben)?

[Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes]

Puh, liebe @Ottostadt, mir geht gerade noch richtig die Pumpe. Meines Erachtens nach wurde beim Aufbau der Baustelle an der Fußgängerampel Kreuzung Erzbergstr/Virchowstr eine extrem gefährliche (weil unübersichtliche) Situation für Fußgänger*innen geschaffen.

[Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes]

@Ottostadt Aus Mangel an Alternativen drückt ein Fußgänger die Fußgängerampel und kriegt Grün. Geht los. Die Autos auf der Gegenspur haben aber kein Rot gekriegt, weil die Ampel ja gar nicht in ihre Richtung zeigt. Der Fußgänger, den ich gesehen habe, ist einfach gegangen (hatte ja Grün).

Very excited to start the work on this interdisciplinary project with my wonderful colleagues Esther Jose and @wouterlammers who I met at the Landau Summer School on Rationality last year. We will study how policymakers form their opinions on wildfire prevention measures.

We're looking forward to upcoming #WeatherReady research on motivated reasoning and burn bans from Esther Jose, Wouter Lammers, Ronja Gerdes! Keep an eye out for this report and more coming soon!

Thanks to my co-authors Emily Bauske and Florian G. Kaiser from @BehPsyOvGU as well as our amazing colleagues from project @Co2Preis. The project ends this month, but we still have loads of studies to write about, so stay tuned! /end

[Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes]

Furthermore, we tested whether people from urban/rural and affluent/less affluent regions differ in their preferences for carbon taxes. To sum it up, we learned that Germans in all our focus regions are not really into carbon taxation (to say the least). /2

@CameronBrick @BehPsyOvGU @icep2023 Happy to hear that you are interested! I think there is a discussion to be had. I will summarize my main points in a short thread on my way back on Saturday. Writing these things up in a paper will take some more time. 😉

😮A murmur went through the audience when Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes showed how nonresponse bias not only leads to an overestimation of people's environmental attitude but also to a qualitative difference in the interpretation of results. @icep2023

Wie ist der Status Quo der #CO2Preis Akzeptanz in 🇩🇪 & was treibt eigentlich die Akzeptanz oder Ablehnung?

Diesen Fragen gingen @RWI_Leibniz @PIK_Klima sowie @BehPsyOvGU @OVGUpresse in zwei großen Studien nach - allerdings aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Blickwinkeln!

[Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes]

Our paper on environmental policy support is out now in @JEnvPsych! In 2 studies and a preregistered replication, we investigated whether environmental commitment and behavioral costs control support for a broad range of environmental policies. https://t.co/kn7vlf1Y9v @BehPsyOvGU

Sind die Deutschen bereit, ihren Alltag für mehr Klimaschutz zu verändern und wirksame Klimaschutzmaßnahmen zu akzeptieren? Ich durfte eine halbe Stunde erzählen, was wir in Projekt @Co2Preis über die CO2-Preis-Akzeptanz in Deutschland gelernt haben. @BehPsyOvGU

@moritzingendahl That's good to hear, thank you!

Hi #Psychbubble! I am planning to run a study on Prolific (which I have never done before), and I am wondering whether I should wait until January or whether christmas might even be a good time to recruit participants? Maybe you would like to share your experiences/thoughts!

[Behavioral Psychology OvGU @BehPsyOvGU]

Dear #green #Science Twitter-Bubble 🫧, which (if any) #Mastodon 🐘servers would you recommend?!?

Welcome to our lab meetings! @BehPsyOvGU

[Ronja Gerdes @ronjgerdes]

As the #dgpskongress comes to an end, I am excited to chair a symposium on acceptance of environmental policies and sustainable technologies from 1:45pm to 4:45pm. 🤗 With talks on models of acceptance, acceptance of wind power plants, smart meters, and carbon prices. #DGPs2022
