The present preregistered study aimed to test the efficacy of a strategic resource use intervention among Hungarian first-year economics students in a gateway math course (N=261). According to the results, the intervention did not have an impact on test scores, grade point average, or dropout rate, and it did not lead to psychological benefits. Des...
This study (N=406) investigates how leadership style shapes perceptions of peer responses to a boss’s fake news views. Under both authoritarian and laissez-faire leadership, individuals believe their coworkers are more likely than themselves express agreement. However, laissez-faire leadership uniquely amplifies these perceptions of peer compliance...
Feedback from superiors in cases of mishaps is provided more or less frequently and can be related to the person who makes the mistake or to the behavior causing it. Prior research uncovered the benefits of behavioral praise vs. person praise; however, surprisingly, little is known about the extent of person-focused negative feedback in organizatio...
In French, laissez-faire means “letting people do whatever they want.” As a leadership style, it is conventionally associated with minimal guidance, allowing employees to make decisions on their own. We challenge this idea, however, based on three studies (Nall = 946) conducted in the United States and Hungary, finding that laissez-faire leaders ex...

A key feature of successful vaccines is their ability to confer long-term protection, a principle equally relevant to counter-misinformation and counter-manipulation strategies. Balancing scalability with enduring effects is critical. This study tested a six-minute intervention comprising a one-minute inoculation video framed by a definition, a tes...
Can a one-minute video make any defense for online manipulation? This is a crucial question in a cultural context where Russian propaganda and Western information sources are equally present. This preregistered work replicates the brief online randomized controlled trial counter-scapegoating intervention of Roozenbeek et al. (2022) and, using the s...
Mindfulness mindset, or the belief in the malleability of mindfulness skills, has been linked to academic performance and can be influenced by brief interventions. However, no studies have directly examined whether shifting mindfulness beliefs can impact academic outcomes. In this study, university students (N=826) across multiple Hungarian institu...
Competition is traditionally viewed negatively within social sciences and is often considered antithetical to cooperation. This perspective may explain the limited focus on strategies that promote adaptive competitive behaviors, which is crucial in educational contexts. Our research introduces a novel theoretical approach and an intervention aimed...

According to previous studies, general environmental characteristics and job‐related factors influence employees' transfer of learned skills to the job. However, among job‐related variables, the role of work engagement in connection with transfer motivation, opportunity and training transfer has not received much research attention. Building upon t...
Purpose - The impact of the number of coworkers participating in training on transfer outcomes has largely been overlooked. This paper aims to examine whether the number of coworkers participating in training interacts with peer support (PS) to influence training motivation and transfer.
Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected using a cr...
Even though work engagement is a popular construct in organizational psychology, the question remains whether it is experienced as a global construct, or as its three components (vigor, dedication, absorption). The present study thus contributes to the ongoing scientific debate about the dimensionality of work engagement systematically compared one...
There have been conflicting findings about whether mandatory versus voluntary training leads to more positive training outcomes. We propose moving away from a dichotomous distinction to a more dynamic participation approach to better elucidate theoretical differences relating to self‐determination theory. A sample of 311 trainees from eight compani...
Replication studies in psychological science sometimes fail to reproduce prior findings. If these studies use methods that are unfaithful to the original study or ineffective in eliciting the phenomenon of interest, then a failure to replicate may be a failure of the protocol rather than a challenge to the original finding. Formal pre-data-collecti...
As part of the Many Labs 5 project, we ran a replication of van Dijk, van Kleef, Steinel, and van Beest’s (2008) study examining the effect of emotions in negotiations. They reported that when the consequences of rejection were low, subjects offered fewer chips to angry bargaining partners than to happy partners. We ran this replication under three...
Risen and Gilovich (2008) found that subjects believed that “tempting fate” would be punished with ironic bad outcomes (a main effect), and that this effect was magnified when subjects were under cognitive load (an interaction). A previous replication study (Frank & Mathur, 2016) that used an online implementation of the protocol on Amazon Mechanic...

As part of the Many Labs 5 project, we ran a replication of Van Dijk, Van Kleef, Steinel, & Van Beest’s (2008) study “A social functional approach to emotions in bargaining: When communicating anger pays and when it backfires,” which examined the effect of emotions in negotiations. Van Dijk et al. (2008) report that when the consequences of rejecti...
Dijksterhuis and van Knippenberg (1998) reported that participants primed with an intelligent
category (“professor”) subsequently performed 13.1% better on a trivia test than participants
primed with an unintelligent category (“soccer hooligans”). Two unpublished replications of this
study by the original authors, designed to verify the appropriate...
Az iskolai csalás szakirodalma a versengést egy olyan jelenségként tárgyalja, amely egyér-telmûen pozitív kapcsolatban áll a diákok tisztességtelen viselkedésével. A korábbi felfogással (Anderman és Murdock, 2007) részben szembehelyezkedve kérdõíves kutatásunk célja az volt, hogy differenciálni lehessen a versengésnek az iskolai csalásban játszott...
A kutatás a konstruktív versengés létrejöttében meghatározó jelentőséggel bíró motivációs, stratégiai
és kontextuális tényezőket vizsgálta szervezeti környezetben. Autópiaci szférában dolgozó
értékesítési tanácsadók és értékesítési vezetők vettek részt a vizsgálatban (N = 75). A résztvevők
feladata egy versengési helyzet leírása volt, amelyet egy L...
