Über 10 Millionen Männer im Alter zwischen 17-45 sind über diese neue Regelung völlig uninformiert. Von der ausgebliebenen politischen Debatte darüber ganz zu schweigen. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob das schon ähnlich vor 2011 galt, denn jetzt ist es definitiv neu und keiner weiß davon.

If you set out to test a hypothesis, you should preregister it. If you deviate from a preregistration, report a table with all deviations, and evaluate the consequences for the validity and severity of the test. As a reviewer, ask for such a table!

📈 Extraversion, openness, and empathy positively predicted both benevolent and activist engagement
📉 Conscientiousness showed negative effects on both forms of engagement
⏳Effects were very stable over time
🤝Both political engagement (e.g., demonstrating) as well as benevolent engagement (e.g., volunteering, housing refugees) were widespread among the German population
👥 The Big Five and trait empathy significantly predicted who became engaged, above and beyond sociodemographic variables

🚨Elites often warn: taxing the rich hurts everyone.
🤔But do citizens buy that story?
With @bcastanho.bsky.social & Hanna Lierse, we find: They don’t! Most people believe progressive taxes can deliver both — more equality and more growth. @jpublicpolicy.bsky.social #openaccess cup.org/3JVuvHm
