AGENDA

Dare to change perspective

Short Movie Workshop "Rememberance, Forgetting, Displacement"

Film and neuroscientists as well as psychologists of the universities of Bochum and Magdeburg invite you to a joint experiment on Friday, 10 May, 4-8pm ct. Under the title
“Remembrance, Forgetting , Displacement”, in the art cinema endstation.kino they present a selection of short films.

Unsparing and vital, poetic and funny movie moments, which are presented as brief as they are knowledgeable by both scientific representations. Short film is the species, that gets together our interdisciplinary audience and lifts them with their cinema seat into the perspective of the other research topic. The cinema in Langendreer station is always worth a visit. Especially this evening! If you like to, let the discussion end at the bar or in the restaurant. The train connections on site are well. If you take the journey, we would be happy to have an exchange of ideas beforehand in the laboratory, e.g. of Biopsychology or another from the SFB 1280. Do not hesitate, join.  Admission is free. 

The program takes place from 4:15 pm to 8:00 pm. There will be a break around 6pm. At the beginning of each of the two film-blocks, neuro and film scientists will give 10-minute “visual aid”-introduction.

 Questions are welcomed by our coordinator Sandra Linn >>

New Year, New Me: The Facts

As the calendar turns to a new year, millions of people around the world commit to New Year’s resolutions, making promises to use the new year as a fresh beginning and an opportunity for transformation. In 2024, almost three-quarters of the British population set themselves New Year’s resolutions — that’s around 40 million people (or the entire population of Canada). This tradition was particularly strong among younger generations, with 96% of Generation Z (aged 18-27) planning resolutions, compared to just 35% of the Silent Generation (aged 79+).

Most common new years resolutions:

  1. Saving more money (52%)
  2. Eat healthier (50%)
  3. Exercise more (48%)
  4. Lose weight (37%)
  5. Spend more time with family/friends (35%)

How long do most resolutions normally last before being broken?

  • Data from America (2016) shows that 75% of individuals maintain their resolutions through the first week. 
  • 64% of individuals maintain their resolutions through the first month. 
  • 46% of individuals in America keep their resolutions past the 6-month mark.

What makes resolutions stick?

Oscarsson et al. (2020) conducted research into what makes New Year’s resolutions stick. Biggest success rates depended on how people phrased their goals. Participants who set approach-oriented goals (trying to move toward or maintain a desirable outcome or state) than those with avoidance-oriented goals (trying to move toward or maintain a desirable outcome or state) were significantly more successful (58.9% vs. 47.1%) at sticking to their goals.

The study also investigates the effects of outside support. These participants received monthly follow-ups and emails with information and exercises for coping with hurdles when striving toward personal goals, and were also encouraged to set goals using the SMART technique and to set interim goals. The group that received some support was exclusively and significantly more successful compared to the groups who received a lot of support or no support at all. 

Additionally, you might feel more successful if you set goals that are measurable in numbers. While success for a person striving to quit smoking or lose weight could easily be measured in the number of cigarettes smoked or body mass index, the success for a person striving to “take better care of themselves” could be highly subjective and possibly impossible to measure.

So as we enter 2026, let’s remember to work with our brain’s natural learning system: Frame your goals positively, break them into manageable steps, and celebrate small wins along the way.
