The expectations people have about how others will behave play a large role in determining whether people cooperate with each other or not. And moreover that very first expectation, or impression, is hard to change. „This is particularly true when the impression is a negative one,“ says Michael Kurschilgen from the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn, summarising the key findings of a study in which he and his colleagues Christoph Engel and Sebastian Kube examined the results of so-called public good games. One’s own expectation thereby becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: those who expect people to act selfishly, actually experience uncooperative behaviour from others more often.

Over the past 20 years, online news headlines have become longer, more negative, and increasingly focused on click-through rates—regardless of journalistic quality. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, who analyzed around 40 million headlines from English-language news outlets across the last two decades. Their study has been published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.
“Many of these changes indicate that they are being adapted to the new affordances

The Gertrud Reemtsma Foundation has awarded the 2017 K. J. Zülch Prize to Giulio Tononi of the University of Wisconsin and Steven Laureys of the GIGA Consciousness Research Centre and Coma Science Group at the University and University Hospital of Liège. The research of the two neuroscientists on the base of consciousness has delivered valuable insights into sleep and impaired consciousness.

Befestigte Grenzen waren immer ein Symbol für Souveränität, Regierungsgewalt und Gerichtsbarkeit. Inzwischen ist ein neues bemerkenswertes Phänomen entstanden – die bewegliche Grenze. Diese Grenze ist nicht durch Zeit und Raum bestimmt, stattdessen setzen reiche Länder auf ausgefeilte Rechtsinstrumente, um die Migrationsregelung von festen territorialen Standorten abzutrennen.
