abstract = {{The two-step norm elicitation procedure describes a commonly used tool for measuring normative
expectations in an incentivized way. This study tests some of its design features to determine whether
elicited beliefs and related behaviours vary depending on i) the time of elicitation (before vs after the
decision), ii) incentivizing vs not incentivizing a question about normative expectations, and iii)
questioning subjects on their beliefs about the action of interest alone or combined with an alternative
action. An online experiment is conducted via Prolific comprising a dictator game and the elicitation of
fairness beliefs. A pretest reveals that applying role uncertainty does not alter beliefs and behaviours
compared to a baseline treatment without it. Subsequently, three treatments are implemented. Contrary
to previous studies, results indicate that varying the time of elicitation does not significantly alter the
money-share decision. However, incentivizing the question about normative expectations significantly
increases the fit with the actual majority norm. Finally, asking about a fair share and an unfair share
instead of only about fair sharing does not alter personal normative beliefs or normative expectations,
but it increases the empirical expectations that other dictators have provided a fair share.}},

abstract = {{Normative expectations – beliefs about what others perceive as appropriate – have been shown to influence behavioural choices across various domains. We examine this concept in the context of whistleblowing, where potential whistleblowers face two competing norms: promoting fairness by reporting wrongdoing versus maintaining loyalty to peers by staying silent. We investigate how normative expectations about these two mutually exclusive actions affect reporting decisions. Specifically, we test whether providing information on the majority beliefs about either the appropriateness of whistleblowing, or of staying silent, or about both behaviours together, differentially affects the whistleblowing decision. Using an incentivized experiment with UK employees on Prolific, our study yields four key findings: First, employees are more likely to report misconduct when they believe that the majority considers whistleblowing to be appropriate. Second, they are less likely to blow the whistle when they believe staying silent is deemed appropriate. Third, this effect prevails for a particularly important subgroup: among employees who believe that the majority supports whistleblowing, the reporting probability increases substantially when they simultaneously expect that staying silent is deemed inappropriate. Fourth, providing information about both normative dimensions combined or only about the inappropriateness of staying silent significantly increases whistleblowing compared to the (no information) baseline and to information about whistleblowing appropriateness alone. These findings demonstrate the importance of normative expectations about both behavioural options for accurately predicting whistleblowing behaviour, and that social information interventions are most effective when they target behaviours where appropriateness beliefs about conflicting options are dispersed. }},

abstract = {{Social norms fundamentally shape economic decision-making, yet individuals often systematically misperceive what others think and do, potentially leading to suboptimal social outcomes. We examine how such misperceptions affect behaviour and whether correcting them can induce a behavioural change, using whistleblowing as an application. Through survey data and an incentivized laboratory experiment, we demonstrate that while a majority of individuals (>75%) privately support whistleblowing, almost half (45.92%) misperceive the majority’s view. Both personal normative beliefs and normative expectations strongly predict whistleblowing behaviour. Their alignment is particularly noteworthy: individuals who personally support whistleblowing are more likely to report misconduct when they believe others share their views. A social information intervention revealing the true distribution of peer support affects subgroups differently: while it increases whistleblowing behaviour among individuals who already personally favour reporting misconduct, there is no effect among those who are personally resistant to it. Still, given the relatively low cost of such social information interventions, they offer an economically viable means of achieving behavioural change in at least some of the targeted individuals. }},

abstract = {{AbstractIntroductionIn Europe, most Internet searches for school‐related tasks are situated at home, where parents can support adolescents. Although the frequency (quantity) of parental support has already been analyzed, a research gap exists concerning the quality of parental support in adolescents' information‐related Internet use. The quality of parental support in the field of homework involvement is known to be a predictor of adolescents' learning motivation and academic achievement, often discussed with regard to self‐determination theory (SDT) in terms of autonomy support, structure, emotional support, and control. These categories were adapted in this study to analyze parents' support in adolescents' Internet searching activities.MethodsUsing a mixed‐methods approach, we combined quantitative questionnaires and qualitative observations to analyze joint information‐related Internet uses. Therefore, 243 parent–adolescent dyads were surveyed and six parent–adolescent dyads were observed by videography in 2019/2020 in Germany. The adolescents were 11 years old, on average.ResultsThe parents rated all qualities higher than the adolescents. Emotional support was rated highest by both groups, whereas structure was rated lowest. Adolescents' and parents' view on parental support differ. The qualitative study revealed parents' often interfering behavior, whereas emotional support was low. Further, the active role of adolescents was highlighted in both quantitative and qualitative data.ConclusionsBy combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, we demonstrated a fruitful application of SDT in analyzing the quality of parental support during adolescents' Internet searches at home and shed light on the co‐construction of joint Internet searches.}},

abstract = {{Between Dethematizing and Demonetisation: The Holocaust in depictions of National-Socialism and World War Two on YouTube – In September 2018, an ambitious
and highly noteworthy project for the construction and distribution of a broad-reaching portrayal of 20th-century violence in the digital age was launched: the YouTube
channel World War Two (WW2). Their mission was to present the experiences of
those who lived through the war in a radically objective, apolitical, and detailed
manner. The main series, sharing the same title as the channel, focused on military
events, while another series titled War Against Humanity (WAH) would address
war crimes, human rights abuses, the mass murder of civilians and prisoners of
war, Nazi euthanasia crimes, and the Holocaust. This division of the narrative into
a military history (main series) and a separate history of war crimes and the Holocaust (side series) raises important questions about the conditions, opportunities,
and limitations that YouTube’s media and economic structures impose on the portrayal of war, mass violence, and genocide. The paper also examines how these
structures influence the narrative and shape the presented historical image, and
what consequences arise for the depiction of war and history from an academic perspective. Lastly, it explores the reasons behind this narrative split: whether it was
a deliberate decision to systematically differentiate the storytelling or a strategic
move shaped by YouTube’s media and economic constraints. The question arises:
to what extent can historical education on digital platforms like YouTube, driven
by the need for content monetization, still align closely with academic standards?}},

abstract = {{In human-machine explanation interactions, such as tutoring systems or customer support chatbots, it is important for the machine explainer to infer the human user's understanding. Nonverbal signals play an important role for expressing mental states like understanding and confusion in these interactions. However, an individual's expressions may vary depending on other factors. In cases where these factors are unknown, machine learning methods that infer understanding from nonverbal cues become unreliable. Stress for example has been shown to affect human expression, but it is not clear from the current research how stress affects the expression of understanding.
To address this gap, we design a paradigm that induces understanding and confusion through game rule explanations. During the explanations, self-perceived understanding and confusion are annotated by the participants. A stress condition is also introduced to enable the investigation of changes in the expression of social signals under stress.
We conducted a study to validate the stress induction and participants reported a statistically significant increase in stress during the stress condition compared to the neutral control condition.
Additionally, feedback from participants shows that the paradigm is effective in inducing understanding and confusion.
This paradigm paves the way for further studies investigating social signals of understanding to improve human-machine explanation interactions for varying contexts.}},

This improved parameter set results in a World3 simulation that shows the same overshoot and collapse mode in the coming decade as the original business as usual scenario of the LtG standard run. The main effect of the recalibration update is to raise the peaks of most variables and move them a few years into the future.

abstract = {{In virtual reality (VR), participants may not always have hands, bodies, eyes, or even voices—using VR helmets and two controllers, participants control an avatar through virtual worlds that do not necessarily obey familiar laws of physics; moreover, the avatar’s bodily characteristics may not neatly match our bodies in the physical world. Despite these limitations and specificities, humans get things done through collaboration and the creative use of the environment. While multiuser interactive VR is attracting greater numbers of participants, there are currently few attempts to analyze the in situ interaction systematically. This paper proposes a video-analytic detail-oriented methodological framework for studying virtual reality interaction. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the paper investigates a nonverbal, embodied, two-person interaction: two players in a survival game strive to gesturally resolve a misunderstanding regarding an in-game mechanic—however, both of their microphones are turned off for the duration of play. The players’ inability to resort to complex language to resolve this issue results in a dense sequence of back-and-forth activity involving gestures, object manipulation, gaze, and body work. Most crucially, timing and modified repetitions of previously produced actions turn out to be the key to overcome both technical and communicative challenges. The paper analyzes these action sequences, demonstrates how they generate intended outcomes, and proposes a vocabulary to speak about these types of interaction more generally. The findings demonstrate the viability of multimodal analysis of VR interaction, shed light on unique challenges of analyzing interaction in virtual reality, and generate broader methodological insights about the study of nonverbal action.}},

Previous evaluations indicate in general high psychometric properties. This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity of the three scales of the PIQ’s student version using different approaches in two samples from primary (grade 4, N = 721) and secondary (grade 7, N = 393) schools. The results of confirmatory factorial analyses confirmed the PIQ’s three factors in both samples which are also measurement equivalent across grades. Plausible correlations with additional divergent and convergent scales reveal that the PIQ measures the theoretically assumed constructs—emotional and social inclusion as well as academic self-concept—validly. }},
