Dishonest behaviours such as tax evasion impose significant societal costs. Ex ante honesty oaths—commitments to honesty before action—have been proposed as interventions to counteract dishonest behaviour, but the heterogeneity in findings across operationalizations calls their effectiveness into question. We tested 21 honesty oaths (including a baseline oath)—proposed, evaluated and selected by 44 expert researchers—and a no-oath condition in a megastudy involving 21,506 UK and US participants from Prolific.com who played an incentivized tax evasion game online. Of the 21 interventions, 10 significantly improved tax compliance by 4.5 to 8.5 percentage points, with the most successful nearly halving tax evasion. Limited evidence for moderators was found. Experts and laypeople failed to predict the most effective interventions, though experts’ predictions were more accurate. In conclusion, honesty oaths were effective in curbing dishonesty, but their effectiveness varied depending on content. These findings can help design impactful interventions to curb dishonesty.

逃税等不诚实行为造成了巨大的社会成本。事前诚信宣誓--行动前的诚信承诺--已被提出作为抵制不诚实行为的干预措施,但不同操作方法的研究结果存在差异,这使其有效性受到质疑。在一项大型研究中,我们测试了 21 项诚信誓言(包括一项基准誓言)--由 44 位专家研究人员提出、评估和选择,以及一项无誓言条件。这项研究涉及来自 Prolific.com 的 21506 名英国和美国参与者,他们在网上玩了一个受激励的逃税游戏。在 21 项干预措施中,有 10 项显著提高了纳税遵从度 4.5 到 8.5 个百分点,其中最成功的干预措施几乎将逃税率减半。关于调节因素的证据有限。专家和非专业人士未能预测出最有效的干预措施,但专家的预测更为准确。总之,诚信宣誓能有效遏制不诚信行为,但其效果因内容而异。这些发现有助于设计有影响力的干预措施来遏制不诚实行为。

We need to understand the effect of narratives about generative AI 我们需要了解关于生成式人工智能的叙述所产生的影响
IF 29.9 1区 心理学 Q1 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-10-21 DOI: 10.1038/s41562-024-02026-z

Public concerns about the societal effects of generative artificial intelligence (AI) are shaped by narratives that have the potential to influence research priorities and policy agendas. Understanding the origins and dynamics of these narratives is crucial to effectively address the actual impacts of AI and ensure a constructive discourse about its risks and potential.

This shift in media coverage points to the need for a closer examination of the underlying discourse. We currently see four main types of narratives around generative AI:

  1. (1)

    The ‘existential risk’ narrative contends that existential risks from artificial superintelligence or artificial general intelligence could stem from the next generations of generative AI-type systems. As generative AI systems become more sophisticated, their capabilities could surpass human control and lead to potentially existentially catastrophic consequences. Strong versions of this narrative raise the concern that artificial superintelligence or artificial general intelligence technologies could lead to human extinction3.

  2. (2)

    The ‘effective accelerationist’ narrative champions the rapid development of AI. Proponents argue that its potential benefits for solving complex global problems far outweigh the risks, and the existential risks from advanced AI are zero or near zero and so can be dismissed4. This narrative is driven by a strong belief in the power of AI progress to bring about substantial positive change.

  3. (3)

    The ‘real, immediate societal risks’ narrative focuses only on the tangible, immediate societal risks of generative AI. It emphasizes issues such as the creation of deepfake pornography, unjust capability distribution or the growing environmental effects of generative AI, and argues that these present-day concerns are much more pressing and relevant than speculative existential risks. Proponents of this view argue that focusing on distant existential threats distracts us from addressing the real and present dangers of AI5.

  4. (4)

    The ‘balanced risks’ narrative advocates for an approach to AI risk governance that acknowledges both the existential and immediate societal risks posed by AI. It encourages finding meaningful connections between these two classes of risks, and suggests that addressing them in tandem can lead to more comprehensive and effective risk mitigation strategies and policies6.

公众对生成式人工智能(AI)的社会影响的担忧是由有可能影响研究重点和政策议程的叙述形成的。要有效解决人工智能的实际影响,并确保对其风险和潜力进行建设性讨论,了解这些论述的起源和动态至关重要。目前,围绕人工智能的论述主要有四种:(1) "生存风险 "论述认为,人工超级智能或人工通用智能带来的生存风险可能来自于下一代人工智能类型的生成系统。随着人工智能生成系统变得越来越复杂,它们的能力可能会超越人类的控制,并导致潜在的生存灾难性后果。这种说法的强烈版本提出了人工超级智能或人工通用智能技术可能导致人类灭绝的担忧3。支持者认为,人工智能在解决复杂的全球性问题方面的潜在好处远远大于风险,而且先进人工智能带来的生存风险为零或接近零,因此可以不予考虑4。3)"真实、直接的社会风险 "论只关注生成式人工智能的有形、直接的社会风险。它强调的问题包括深度伪造色情作品的产生、不公正的能力分配或生成式人工智能对环境造成的日益严重的影响,并认为这些当下令人担忧的问题要比臆测的生存风险更为紧迫和相关。(4) "平衡风险 "论主张采用一种既承认人工智能带来的生存风险又承认其带来的直接社会风险的方法来治理人工智能风险。它鼓励在这两类风险之间找到有意义的联系,并认为同时应对这两类风险可以制定出更全面、更有效的风险缓解战略和政策6。

Executive function in children with neurodevelopmental conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis 神经发育障碍儿童的执行功能:系统回顾与荟萃分析
IF 29.9 1区 心理学 Q1 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-10-18 DOI: 10.1038/s41562-024-02000-9

Executive function (EF) delays are well documented in paediatric neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs). There is no consensus about whether EF delay represents a transdiagnostic feature of NDCs. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized 180 studies reporting two or more NDC comparisons on EF, examined differences between NDCs, and the moderating effects of gender, age, publication year, DSM editions and assessment types. Studies using established EF measures across seven domains (attention, fluency, set-shifting, set-switching, response inhibition, planning and working memory) in participants under 18 were included. Summary effects were compared: (1) for all reported NDCs relative to control, (2) for each individual NDC relative to control and (3) between NDC groups. Results confirmed that EF delay was a transdiagnostic feature of neurodevelopmental delay, with a moderate effect size of delay across all NDCs (g = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49–0.63) compared with control. This effect increased with comorbidities (g = 0.72, 95% CI 0.59–0.86), DSM-5 criteria and informant measures. Comparisons between NDCs revealed few differences: children with tic disorders (TD) showed smaller EF delays, children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) showed larger delays in attention, response inhibition, planning and working memory compared with TD and specific learning disorders, while children with autism spectrum disorders showed greater delays on set-switching compared with ADHD. Findings support transdiagnostic models of neurodevelopment to further a developmentally sensitive science that can reveal how EF delays contribute to brain circuitry, symptom profiles and functioning, and ultimately support early interventions and outcomes for all children with NDCs.

在儿科神经发育疾病(NDCs)中,执行功能(EF)延迟是有据可查的。关于EF延迟是否是NDCs的一种跨诊断特征,目前尚无共识。本系统性综述和荟萃分析综合了 180 项报告了两种或两种以上 NDC EF 比较结果的研究,考察了 NDC 之间的差异,以及性别、年龄、发表年份、DSM 版本和评估类型的调节作用。研究纳入了针对 18 岁以下参与者的七个领域(注意力、流畅性、集合转换、集合切换、反应抑制、计划和工作记忆)的既定 EF 测量方法。比较了以下方面的综合效应:(1) 所有报告的 NDC 相对于对照组的效应;(2) 每个 NDC 相对于对照组的效应;(3) NDC 组之间的效应。结果证实,EF 延迟是神经发育延迟的一个跨诊断特征,与对照组相比,所有 NDC 的延迟效应大小适中(g = 0.56,95% 置信区间 (CI) 0.49-0.63)。这种效应随着合并症(g = 0.72,95% 置信区间 0.59-0.86)、DSM-5 标准和线人测量结果的增加而增加。不同NDC之间的比较几乎没有发现差异:抽搐症(TD)儿童的EF延迟较小;与抽搐症和特殊学习障碍儿童相比,注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)儿童在注意力、反应抑制、计划和工作记忆方面的延迟较大;与ADHD儿童相比,自闭症谱系障碍儿童在集合转换方面的延迟较大。研究结果支持神经发育的跨诊断模型,以进一步发展对发育敏感的科学,揭示EF延迟是如何导致大脑回路、症状特征和功能的,并最终支持对所有患有NDC的儿童进行早期干预并取得成果。

Although research on misinformation and fact-checking flourishes, developmental studies that involve younger participants remain scarce. Through two experiments among 4- to 7-year-olds and a computer simulation study, Orticio et al. found that when children encountered more misleading information, they intended to seek more evidence before accepting new claims.

A behaviourally informed chatbot increases vaccination rates in Argentina more than a one-way reminder 在阿根廷,行为信息聊天机器人比单向提醒更能提高疫苗接种率
IF 29.9 1区 心理学 Q1 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-10-18 DOI: 10.1038/s41562-024-01985-7

Maintaining COVID-19 vaccine demand was key to ending the global health emergency. To help do this, many governments used chatbots that provided personalized information guiding people on where, when and how to get vaccinated. We designed and tested a WhatsApp chatbot to understand whether two-way interactive messaging incorporating behaviourally informed functionalities could perform better than one-way message reminders. We ran a large-scale preregistered randomized controlled trial with 249,705 participants in Argentina, measuring vaccinations using Ministry of Health records. The behaviourally informed chatbot more than tripled COVID-19 vaccine uptake compared with the control group (a 1.6 percentage point increase (95% confidence interval, (1.36 pp, 1.77 pp)) and nearly doubled uptake compared with the one-way message reminder (a 1 percentage point increase (95% confidence interval, (0.83 pp, 1.17 pp)). Communications tools designed with behaviourally informed functionalities that simplify the vaccine user journey can increase vaccination more than traditional message reminders and may have applications to other health behaviours.

维持对 COVID-19 疫苗的需求是结束全球卫生紧急状况的关键。为了帮助实现这一目标,许多政府使用聊天机器人提供个性化信息,指导人们在何时何地如何接种疫苗。我们设计并测试了一个 WhatsApp 聊天机器人,以了解包含行为信息功能的双向互动信息是否比单向信息提醒效果更好。我们在阿根廷开展了一项大规模的预先登记随机对照试验,有 249 705 人参加,使用卫生部的记录来衡量疫苗接种情况。与对照组相比,行为知情聊天机器人的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率提高了两倍多(提高了 1.6 个百分点(95% 置信区间为 1.36pp,1.77pp)),与单向信息提醒相比,接种率提高了近一倍(提高了 1 个百分点(95% 置信区间为 0.83pp,1.17pp))。与传统的信息提醒相比,具有简化疫苗用户接种过程的行为知情功能的通信工具能更有效地提高疫苗接种率,并可应用于其他健康行为。

Chinese universities are moving towards tenure track systems. Although this increases academic output, it also comes with negative mental health effects, writes Jian Li.
中国大学正在向终身教职制转变。李健写道,虽然这提高了学术产出,但也带来了负面的心理健康影响。

Participating in the Twinning Project — a football-based prison intervention — notably improved behaviour in prison and desistance from crime after release. This research highlights the importance of fostering positive group bonds and community support to enhance reintegration efforts and reduce reoffending rates.
参与 "结对项目"--一种以足球为基础的监狱干预措施--明显改善了囚犯在狱中的行为,并在出狱后不再犯罪。这项研究强调了培养积极的团体纽带和社区支持对于加强重返社会工作和降低重新犯罪率的重要性。

Human olfactory perception embeds fine temporal resolution within a single sniff 人类的嗅觉感知在单次嗅闻中体现了精细的时间分辨率
IF 29.9 1区 心理学 Q1 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-10-14 DOI: 10.1038/s41562-024-01984-8

A sniff in humans typically lasts one to three seconds and is commonly considered to produce a long-exposure shot of the chemical environment that sets the temporal limit of olfactory perception. To break this limit, we devised a sniff-triggered apparatus that controls odorant deliveries within a sniff with a precision of 18 milliseconds. Using this apparatus, we show through rigorous psychophysical testing of 229 participants (649 sessions) that two odorants presented in one order and its reverse become perceptually discriminable when the stimulus onset asynchrony is merely 60 milliseconds (Cohen’s d = 0.48; 95% confidence interval, (55, 59); 120-millisecond difference). Discrimination performance improves with the length of stimulus onset asynchrony and is independent of explicit knowledge of the temporal order of odorants or the relative amount of odorant molecules accumulated in a sniff. Our findings demonstrate that human olfactory perception is sensitive to chemical dynamics within a single sniff and provide behavioural evidence for a temporal code of odour identity.

人的嗅觉通常持续一到三秒钟,通常被认为是对化学环境的一次长时间曝光,它设定了嗅觉感知的时间极限。为了打破这一限制,我们设计了一种嗅觉触发装置,可以控制嗅觉中气味的传递,精确度可达 18 毫秒。利用这种装置,我们通过对 229 名参与者(649 次)进行严格的心理物理测试表明,当刺激开始的不同步时间仅为 60 毫秒(Cohen's d = 0.48;95% 置信区间,(55, 59);120 毫秒的差异)时,按一种顺序呈现的两种气味及其相反顺序呈现的两种气味在知觉上是可分辨的。辨别能力随着刺激开始不同步时间的延长而提高,并且与嗅闻气味的时间顺序或嗅闻中积累的气味分子的相对数量等显性知识无关。我们的研究结果表明,人类的嗅觉感知对单次嗅闻中的化学动态很敏感,并为气味特征的时间代码提供了行为证据。
