The Psychological Science Accelerator's COVID-19 rapid-response dataset
Buchanan, Erin M.; Lewis, Savannah C.; Paris, Bastien; Forscher, Patrick S.; Pavlacic, Jeffrey M.; Beshears, Julie E.; Drexler, Shira MeirIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies to examine the effects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions and affective measures. The data collected (April to October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining ...
Science Communication as a Collective Intelligence Endeavor: A Manifesto and Ex...
Holford, Dawn; Fasce, Angelo; Tapper, Katy; Demko, Miso; Lewandowsky, Stephan; Hahn, Ulrike; Abels, Christoph M.; Al-Rawi, Ahmed; Alladin, SameerEffective science communication is challenging when scientific messages are informed by a continually updating evidence base and must often compete against misinformation. We argue that we need a new program of science communication as collective intelligence-a collaborative approach, supported by technology. This would have four key advantages over the typical model where scientists communicate as individuals:...

Legate, Nicole; Nguyen, Thuy-vy; Weinstein, Netta; Moller, Arlen; Legault, Lisa; Vally, Zahir; Tajchman, Zuzanna; Zsido, Andras N.; Zrimsek, MihaFinding communication strategies that effectively motivate social distancing continues to be a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-country, preregistered experiment (n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-support...
In COVID-19 Health Messaging, Loss Framing Increases Anxiety with Little-to-No ...
Dorison, Charles A; Lerner, Jennifer S; Heller, Blake H; Rothman, Alexander J; Kawachi, Ichiro I; Wang, Ke; Rees, Vaughan W; Gill, Brian P; Gibbs, NancyThe COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it more effective to frame COVID-19 health messages in terms of potential losses (e.g., "If you do not practice these st...
A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the ...
Wang, Ke; Goldenberg, Amit; Dorison, Charles A; Miller, Jeremy K; Uusberg, Andero; Lerner, Jennifer S; Gross, James J; Agesin, Bamikole BamikoleThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,...
