A new article by Sarah Vahed (PhD Candidate) and Alan has been accepted for publication in Nature Communications Psychology!
In their paper, "Large-scale community study reveals information sampling drives fairness decisions", choices related to unfairness were collected from over 10,000 volunteer members of the public during a 13-month period, all within a naturalistic experimental setting: within an educational museum in Nijmegen! We are very happy to have collaborated with the Donders CityLab on this citizen science project. Check out the publication tab for more!
Sarah also wrote a blog summary of the paper for Springer Nature for their 'Behind the Paper' section, which can be read here, called “What Bringing the Lab to the Public Taught Us About Fairness" by Sarah Vahed (https://communities.springernature.com/posts/what-bringing-the-lab-to-the-public-taught-us-about-fairness)
In October, Sarah Vahed (PhD Candidate) organized a two-day workshop in Amsterdam on the Psychological and Economic Perspectives on Economic Inequality, together with Dianna Amasino (Assistant Prof., Tilburg) and Leon Hilbert (Assistant Prof., UvA), as part of the Economic Inequality Network of the Netherlands.
During the event, 40 scholars from multiple countries heard two fascinating keynotes from Prof. Ingvild Almas (Zurich) and Prof. Barnabas Scaszi (Hungary), and 20 talks from researchers across psychology, economics and neuroscience investigating all aspect of inequality, including wealth redistribution, meritocratic beliefs, and the implications of socio-economic inequality on childhood development and prosocial behaviours. Well done on co-ordinating this event, Sarah!
