This study just landed at @Journal_Of_Comm @icahdq. Key findings: We extend moral propriety to liked characters. ADT explains a lot of variance in character perceptions. We can differentiate enjoyment and appreciation. academic.oup.com/joc/advance-ar…
Life can feel meaningless. We wondered if the timeless "hero's journey" can help. 8 studies in JPSP show that seeing your life story as a hero's journey increases meaning in life. This paper also reformulates the hero's journey into 7 key steps that apply to modern life. 🧵
Our paper investigating the moral continuum is finally out! We found that moral sensitivities only seem to impact moral judgments after a behavior reaches a certain threshold of immorality. Shoutout to my wonderful coauthor Nic Matthews. econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/full/10.10…

When characters descend to immorality – do audiences compare them to other characters when categorizing them as heroes or villains? A new study substantiates the systematic effects of character interdependence on disposition formation. @MattGrizz academic.oup.com/hcr/advance-ar…
