The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in psychology religion, yet directionality robustness effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess this based on new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-being, (2) self-reported depends perceived cultural norms religion (i.e., it considered normal...
Abstract Knowledge is an important predictor and outcome of learning development. Its measurement challenged by the fact that knowledge can be integrated homogeneous, or fragmented heterogeneous, which change through learning. These characteristics are at odds with current standards for test development, demanding a high internal consistency (e.g., Cronbach's Alphas greater .70). To provide initial empirical base this debate, we conducted meta-analysis tests derived from available data set....
In this crowdsourced initiative, independent analysts used the same dataset to test two hypotheses regarding effects of scientists' gender and professional status on verbosity during group meetings. Not only analytic approach but also operationalizations key variables were left unconstrained up individual analysts. For instance, could choose operationalize as job title, institutional ranking, citation counts, or some combination. To maximize transparency process by which choices are made, a...
Measuring subjective experiences in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) studies has become a popular approach. A design choice such is the response scale of survey questions. Typically, researchers choose between Likert and visual analog (VAS). However, there little guidance on this choice. We conducted between-person experiment comparing 7-point (n=63) with VAS (n=56) an EMA study measuring affective states over 14 days. Using Bayesian multilevel models, we found that resulted moderately...
Recent research has integrated developmental and dimensional perspectives on epistemic beliefs by implementing an approach in which profiles of learners' are modeled across multiple dimensions. Variability study characteristics impeded the comparison their relations with external variables studies. We examined this comparability integrating data about source, certainty, development, justification knowledge science from six studies comprising
Screen media are increasingly shaping our everyday lives, including those of young children. Among other reasons, parents might use screen as a problem-oriented coping strategy to reduce parenting stress levels. Furthermore, parental attitudes towards children's have been shown predict time in The present study examines the intertwined roles and throughout early childhood. Parents N = 462 children aged up 3 years (M 1.28, SD 0.61; 50% female) participated four assessments within 10 months....
The Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS) is an open-access, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal for psychology students worldwide. JEPS run by highly motivated and has been publishing since 2009. By ensuring that authors are always provided with extensive feedback, gives the chance to gain experience in improve their scientific skills. Furthermore, provides opportunity share research take a first step toward career.Submissions welcomed at any time.Register submit your work...
The relative importance of different factors in the development human skills has been extensively discussed. Research on expertise indicates that focused practice may be sole determinant skill, while intelligence researchers underline abilities at even highest level skill. There is indeed a large body research acknowledges role both skill and retention. It is, however, unknown how come together to enable acquisition retention complex across life span. Instead focusing 2 factors, practice,...
Abstract Demonstrating the differential effectiveness of instructional approaches for learners is difficult because differ on multiple dimensions. The present study tests a person-centered approach to investigating effectiveness, in this case reading instruction. In N = 517 German third-grade students, latent profile analysis identified four subgroups that differed across characteristics consistent with simple view : poor decoders, comprehenders, readers, and good readers. Over school year,...
Representational competence is commonly considered a prerequisite for the acquisition of conceptual knowledge, yet little exploration has been undertaken into relation between these two constructs. Using an assessment instrument representational with vector fields that functions without confounding topical context, we examined its N = 515 undergraduates' knowledge about electromagnetism.Applying latent variable modeling, found students' and are related clearly distinguishable constructs...
This study aimed to examine developmental relations of screen time, negative affect and effortful control in children aged 12–36 months. Parents 462 up 3 years age at the start (M = 1.28 years, SD 0.61; 50% female) participated four assessments within 10 reported their children's affect, each assessment a diary study. Results multivariate Bayesian multilevel growth modeling revealed correlations between parameters (1) time (2) but not (3) control. Overall, these results indicate that may be...

This study examined how working memory (WM) and mathematics performance are related among students entering mathematics-intensive undergraduate STEM programs (N = 317). Among of mechanical engineering math-physics, we addressed two questions: (1) Do verbal visuospatial WM differ in their relation with three measures performance: numerical reasoning ability, prior knowledge mathematics, achievements courses? (2) To what extent the effects on courses mediated by ability mathematics? A latent...

We point out potential drawbacks of some Leising et al.’s (2022a) proposed ways how personality science can be improved. argue that it is ill-advised to use only one measure for a concept. Also, we researchers should not refrain from conducting study when high level statistical power precluded. Then, go step further and formulate additional ideas improve research. Specifically, good thing different methods rather than attempting generalize across these methods. Moreover, more theory-driven...
