A *null* result I'm very proud of!
Led by Rustam Romaniuc, 35 coauthors from all over France tested nudge interventions to boost voter turnout.
None worked, and we are possibly not surprised -- but a well-powered null result *is* a result!

Our new research finds that people are willing to cheat if it benefits their group — even when they gain nothing themselves.
"the risk of dishonesty in organizations is not limited to selfish acts...employees might bend rules to benefit their team or in-group members."

Abstract and key figure summarizing the main effect across our three experiments: See below.
As always: Feedback is most welcome.
Can the psychology of time help us understand climate change?
In collaboration with my excellent PhD student Simen Bø, we have a new pre-print exploring the temporal psychology of climate hesitancy, and whether it is possible to increase actual climate support by varying the *timing* of incentives.

Do people lie to benefit the in-group and harm the out-group?
In a new paper, we found that people lied 9% more to help in-group members than out-group members! This is evidence of coalitional dishonesty
Democrats & Republicans both lied anonymously to double in-group members earnings (N=5,230)
We have a new working paper, studying planning choices in the United States and Tanzania: "Just perfect days ahead?"
Documenting a robust best-case planning tendency, see below for details! Joint work with my last-year PhD student Simen Bø and Vincent Somville.

Three experiments with more than 5,000 participants show that people are willing to cheat if it benefits their group — even when they gain nothing themselves.
