An introduction to Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology: The Why and How of peer-reviewed preregistration
Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology (CRSP) is the field's first preregistration-only journal. Read benefits for the individual researcher submitting to CRSP, addressing common questions and misconceptions that have come up along the way.
Valuing Your Time More Than Money is Linked to Happiness
According to new research, valuing your time more than the pursuit of money is linked to greater happiness. In six studies with more than 4,600 participants, researchers found an almost even split between people who tended to value their time or money, and that choice was a fairly consistent trait both for daily interactions and major life events.
