New #preprint just dropped on #psyarxiv

Kanter, Haldar, Redish(2026). A novel view of microfinance: implications of the neuroscience of decision-making. psyArXiv.

We propose a novel perspective on what makes microfinance institutions work. We argue that the key is how the institutional structures interact with the computational underpinnings of decision-making to engender #trust .

Part of a new series I am apparently building on what it means to trust and what underlies the success of societies. 🤔

A collaboration with experts in #microfinance, and #sociology connecting to the #neuroscience of #DecisionMaking. And #economics.

I’m at the @[email protected] online conference at a session about #PsyArXiv moderation, which switched from a post-moderation system (DOI assigned before moderation) to a pre-moderation system in 2025 for reasons that should be apparent on this plot.

Last month, we published a preprint in #PsyArXiv: The Diversity Within - Exploring Heterogeneity in Disability Identity and Its Associations with Self-Efficacy and Belonging among University Students with Disabilities. Yi-Jhen Wu, Julie Chronister, Chih-Chin Chou, Wendy Tobias, and I examined three different profiles of students' #DisabilityIdentity in a secondary data analysis.

New preprint available!

Henri S. Chastain, A. D. Redish (2025). Multiple Decision-Making
Systems and the Common Currency Hypothesis. psyArxiv.
https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/75k6d_v1

In this just-released new preprint, we analyze the consequences of taking both the #neuroeconomic theory of "Common Currency" and the #DecisionMaking theory of "Multiple decision systems" seriously from a #computationalNeuroscience perspective and find that these theories interact and lead to a fascinating set of testable predictions.

Operationalization Bias: A Suboptimal Research Practice in Psychology
Nagireddy Reddy, PsyArXiv Preprint (2022)

"This article discusses a suboptimal research practice, the operationalization bias, i.e., the practice of operationalizing a construct or phenomenon selectively, through the exclusive employment of one or very few variables and, in turn, neglecting to employ alternative operationalizations."

UVic Libraries supports PsyArXiv -- they just agreed to make a contribution for the second year running. Librarians are awesome! #UVic #PsyArXiv

New post on #PsyArxiv blog: "Financial support for PsyArXiv"

https://blog.psyarxiv.com/2024/05/24/financial-support-for-psyarxiv/

"Center for Open Science have secured a major funding commitment, until the end of 2025, which will support your favourite OSF preprint servers – including PsyArXiv. It’s a big win for keeping the lights on at PsyArXiv, and continuing the mission to bring about a new age for the dissemination and discovery of scholarship in psychological science."

@msw It can. Most active are probably #SocArXiv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocArXiv, #PsyArXiv and #RePEc, while #LawArXiv didn't manage to take off before it had to shut down due to hosting costs.

New #PsyArXiv Preprint. I developed an R tool to explore the best multilevel prediction model (including fixed effects, random intercepts, random slopes) by comparing all possible combinations of candidate predictors in a data-driven manner. It does its job pretty quickly with multiprocessing. If you are interested in exploring data/models with random effects, I suggest you try this!

Paper published in Current Psychology! With a large-scale international dataset #COVIDiSTRESS 2, we explored predictors of #COVID19 preventive measure compliance (e.g., social norms, moral foundations, truss, stress, demo., etc.) via data-driven analysis.

Co-authored with international colleagues, @milfont @siobhangriffin et al.

My paper about moral functioning network (between reasoning, empathy, identity, purpose) will be published in Personality and Individual Differences in 2024! #PsyArXiv preprint: https://bit.ly/41vCX2N

Interestingly, the network connectivity was stronger among people who actively engaged in prosocial activities vs. those who didn't. Findings may suggest the strength of each component per se as well as how they are interacting and cooperating with each other are important in moral motivation.

Measurement alignment tutorial with R paper accepted for publication in Journal of Research on Adolescence! If you plan to conduct a cross-cultural / multigroup survey study it would be worth trying. Try this if you want to ensure measurement invariance/validity across groups while dealing with the problem of non-invariance. Pls read the paper and take a look at GitHub tutorial.

Is #PsyArXiv broken for everyone? It sends me in a refresh loop as I try to upload. (It also does allow signing in, but then doesn't show an updated sign-in button, so I think some linkage might be broken.) This is Firefox on Ubuntu, even in a completely clean session.

@adredish I strongly empathize with this. I've just shifted to putting theory pieces on #arxiv (and, as has been pointed out by others here, #psyarxiv is also a good place for theory).

Though I do wish that @biorxivpreprint would understand the value of theory in biology.

Co-authored paper accepted for publication in Journal of Environmental Psychology. We examined gender, SES -> stressors (x social support & identity) -> psychological wellbeing during #COVID19 with #COVIDiSTRESS 2 dataset.

Women, low SES -> high stress -> low wellbeing. Social support & identity alleviated the negative association. May call for support for disadvantaged groups during the pandemic.
