Testing undue incentives Nat. Hum. Behav. (IF 29.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Linda Thunström
Financial incentives may be offered for risky but potentially life-saving actions, such as donating organs and participation in medical trials. It has been argued that such incentives could distort decision making and lead people to act against their own best interest. However, experimental evidence now suggests that higher financial incentives do not cause harm.

Bayes versus bias in human reasoning Nat. Hum. Behav. (IF 29.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Mike Oaksford
The past 35 years have seen Bayesian models applied to many areas of the cognitive and brain sciences, which suggests that reasoning and decision-making may be rational. Wishful thinking provides a serious challenge, as it questions a core assumption of Bayesian belief updating. Melnikoff and Strohminger develop a Bayesian model that uses affective prediction errors and meets this challenge.

Belonging is an essential part of human identity. But with belonging comes ‘otherness’ — the tendency to label ‘others’ on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, ability or some other dimension. To advance science, we need to recognize how otherness affects research and implement interventions to overcome the biases that it creates.

The I4R approach to reproduction and replication is twofold. First, we introduced a research event called the ‘Replication Games’ as part of our strategy1. These one-day events, which typically take place at universities or conferences, each bring together a total of 30 to 100 researchers who collaborate to carry out replications. Participants are organized into small teams that comprise 3 to 5 members

Rising diagnoses of depression in young people is an important concern. Remote measurement technologies are one way that practitioners can screen, monitor or support young people who are diagnosed with depression. In a realist review, Walsh and colleagues show that there is some benefit to using remote measurement technologies, but that young people express concerns about data safety and privacy.
