Interpretation Biases (IBs), namely the tendency to interpret ambiguous information in a negative manner, play a central role in models of psychopathology. While correlational research supports this central role, causal questions on the role of IBs in symptom development remain vaguely answered.

The first part of the talk will cover a systematic research approach to target the question regarding potential causality. In the second part, this will serve as a contextual framework to practically present Open Science means to improve transparency during the whole research process, including pre-registration, open material, and open data on the Open Science Framework (OSF).

The discussion will cover practical steps and pitfalls in Open Science approaches leaving room for individual questions.
