ABSTRACT This study evaluated a smartphone-based intervention designed to promote dispositional curiosity through daily behavioral activities and ‘mindful curiosity’ practices, which promote an inquiring stance towards everyday experiences. Participants (N = 91) were randomly assigned to the app intervention (with half further assigned to the mindful curiosity component) or a waitlist control.
Digital Attention Training Improving the Mental Health and Well-Being of Adolescent Youth
1. Introduction High school students face a wide array of daily stressors and distractions that relate to their mental health and well-being (Pascoe et al., 2020).

Do Obligations Follow the Mind or Body?
Abstract Do you persist as the same person over time because you keep the same mind or because you keep the same body? Philosophers have long investigated this question of personal identity with thought experiments. Cognitive scientists have joined this tradition by assessing lay intuitions about those cases.

Kids these days: Why the youth of today seem lacking
Abstract In five preregistered studies, we assess people’s tendency to believe “kids these days” are deficient relative to those of previous generations. Across three traits, American adults (N = 3458; Mage = 33 to 51 years) believe today’s youth are in decline; however, these perceptions are associated with people’s standing on those traits.

Introspecting about Reasons can Reduce Post-Choice Satisfaction:
This study tested the prediction that introspecting about the reasons for one's preferences would reduce satisfaction with a consumer choice. Subjects evaluated two types of posters and then chose one to take home. Those instructed to think about their reasons chose a different type of poster than control subjects and, when contacted 3 weeks later, were less satisfied with their choice.
