The role of cognitive motivation and self-regulation in coping with occupational demands Open
Cognitive motivation (COM) in conjunction with self-regulation (SR) was demonstrated to be positively linked to mental health in educational and clinical contexts. We introduce COM and SR in the occupational context and hypothesize these t…

The association of dispositional anxiety with the NoGo N2 under relaxation instruction vs. speed/accuracy instruction Open
Prior research suggests that cognitive control, indicated by NoGo N2 amplitudes in Go/NoGo tasks, is associated with dispositional anxiety. This negative association tends to be reduced in anxiety-enhancing experimental conditions. However…

On the Interplay of Motivational Characteristics and Academic Achievement: The Role of Need for Cognition Open
While intelligence and motivational variables are well-established predictors of academic achievement, Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable intrinsic motivation to engage in and enjoy challenging intellectual activity, has not yet been con…

The Role of Need for Cognition in Well-Being – Review and Meta-Analyses of Associations and Potentially Underlying Mechanisms Open
Need for Cognition (NFC) describes one’s inclination towards and enjoyment of effortful cognitive activities and has been associated with favourable academic outcomes. Yet, recent evidence also points to beneficial outcomes regarding well-…

Short- and long-term effects of emotion up- and down-regulation Open
It is an open question in cognitive emotion regulation research how emotion regulation unfolds over time, and whether the brain regions involved in down-regulation are also recruited during up-regulation of emotions. As a replication and e…

Cognitive effort investment: Does disposition become action? Open
Contrary to the law of less work, individuals with high levels of need for cognition and self-control tend to choose harder tasks more often. While both traits can be integrated into a core construct of dispositional cognitive effort inves…

Estimating individual subjective values of emotion regulation strategies Open
Individuals have a repertoire of emotion regulation (ER) strategies at their disposal, which they can use more or less flexibly. In ER flexibility research, strategies that facilitate goal achievement are considered adaptive and therefore …

The role of cognitive motivation and self-regulation in coping with occupational demands Open
Background. Previous research, especially in educational and clinical contexts, suggests cognitive motivation (COM) in combination with self-regulation (SR) to be associated with a broad range of positive mental health, coping, and well-be…

Need for cognition and burnout in teachers – A replication and extension study Open
Burnout has become more prevalent, mainly in social jobs, and there is evidence that certain personality traits protect against burnout. Only recently, studies have focused on investment traits like Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable int…

The methodology and dataset of the coscience eeg-personality project – a large-scale, multi-laboratory project grounded in cooperative forking paths analysis Open
Despite a plethora of research, associations between individual differences in personality and electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters remain poorly understood due to concerns of low replicability and insufficiently powered data analyses due…

NFC and burnout in teachers - A replication and extension study Open
Burnout has become more prevalent, mainly in social jobs, but little is known about the personality traits that promote or protect against burnout. One of these traits is Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable intrinsic motivation to seek ou…

Need for Cognition is associated with a preference for higher task load in effort discounting [Previously: "When easy is not preferred: A discounting paradigm to assess load-independent task preference"] Open
When individuals set goals, they consider the subjective value (SV) of the anticipated reward and the required effort, a trade-off that is of great interest to psychological research. One approach to quantify the SVs of levels of difficult…

Background: Depressive symptoms compromise cognitive and self-regulating capacities. Overcoming associated deficits (e.g., attentional bias) demands cognitive effort and motivation. Previous studies on healthy individuals have found cognit…

Should we keep some distance from distancing? Regulatory and post-regulatory effects of emotion downregulation Open
Emotion regulation is an indispensable part of mental health and adaptive behavior. Research into emotion regulation processes has largely focused on the concurrent effects of volitional emotion regulation. However, there is scarce evidenc…

Effort beats effectiveness in emotion regulation choice: Differences between suppression and distancing in subjective and physiological measures Open
Emotion regulation (ER) can be implemented by different strategies which differ in their capacity to alter emotional responding. What all strategies have in common is that cognitive control must be exercised in order to implement them. The…
