Korbmacher and colleagues from the FORRT project discuss how the last decade can be seen as a credibility revolution for psychological science, benefitting from structural, procedural and community-driven changes.

People are more adept at deriving and retaining associative inferences when the source of the information is a member of one’s own ingroup, potentially contributing to the spread of biased beliefs.

Data obtained from a 7-day experience sampling method in a sample of US American users of Twitter (now X) shows short term relationships between Twitter use and wellbeing, sense of belonging, and experienced outrage.

Although often stigmatised in mainstream psychology, self-relevant research offers many benefits including increasing the presence of underrepresented researchers and promoting more valid and representative research. Psychology should de-stigmatize and leverage this approach.

This Perspective argues for a revised mechanism for the functional role of alpha oscillations. While alpha oscillations reflect inhibition, they are controlled by an indirect mechanism governed by the load of goal-relevant information.

Applying contrast enhancement principles, established within the visual and auditory domain, to thermosensation, reveals that larger temporal contrasts increase the probability of experiencing thermal nociceptive illusions.

Individuals seldom reach out to old friends with whom they have lost touch. Interventions focused on changing attitudes were ineffective, but practicing reaching out to current friends first successfully encouraged people to reach out to old friends.

Analysis of different operationalizations shows that many scientific results may be an artifact of the operationalization process. A culture of multi-operationalization may be needed for psychological research to develop valid knowledge.

Across three preregistered experiments, stimulus-level reward affects response and decision strategies in an episodic memory task.

Seven to 12 year-old children showed greater performance gains on a motor sequence task across post-learning resting periods than adolescents, young adults and older adults, suggesting a developmental advantage in offline motor memory consolidation.

The terminology used in discussions on mental state attribution is extensive and lacks consistency. In the current paper, experts from various disciplines collaborate to introduce a shared set of concepts and make recommendations regarding future use.

A Bayesian model incorporating representational splitting explains better memory performance in blocked compared to interleaved learning contexts.

People align their attitudes with their network’s in an online context. Further, attitude expressors are active agents in the construction of identity, expressing attitudes performatively to construct and consolidate identities.
