Direktor Ralph Hertwig @arc_mpib im @zeitonline-Interview über havarierende Demokratien (Paywall).
DIE ZEIT
@zeitonline3 Apr 2025
Wenn eine Demokratie versagt, ähnelt das einer Kernschmelze. Mit wissenschaftlichen Modellen lässt sich das beschreiben, sagt der Psychologe Ralph Hertwig. Und es gibt Hinweise, wie Demokratien zu retten sind. Schnell, bevor der abrupte Kollaps kommt. trib.al/9JNONI2

Demokratie zu Autokratie: Versagen Demokratien wie Kernkraftwerke?

Unbemerkt wachsende Probleme, dann der abrupte Kollaps: Der Psychologe Ralph Hertwig beschreibt den Zerfall von Demokratien wissenschaftlich. Das hilft bei ihrer Rettung.

How can we reduce conceptual clutter in the psychological sciences? @rui__mata and I propose a solution based on a fine-tuned 🤖 LLM (bit.ly/mpnet-pers) and test it for 🎭 personality psychology. The paper is finally out in @NatureHumBehav: go.nature.com/4bEaaja
