One of our biggest regrets from writing our #book (The Power Of Us) is that we didn’t create simple chapter summaries to underscore the key lessons for navigating groups. Therefore, we have distilled the book to it’s essence and created simple summaries of every chapter of our…

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 Ever wondered why people endorse censoring others? In our new paper accepted at Political Psychology (osf.io/preprints/psya…), we find that people censor ideas they FEEL are harmful and untrue. We then examine ways to reduce willingness to censor 🧵👇
A recent study found that people are more likely to share information that aligns with their beliefs, even if it's not surprising, challenging the idea that novelty and surprise primarily drive sharing behavior. dlvr.it/T67JFq
What’s really fun is when you learn that this is how ALL people develop political opinions, not just college students. Political attitudes are more about in-group identity than reason and core values.
We haven’t “canceled commencement.” We merely decided to rerun the Zoom Commencement of May 2020 as part of our Salute to Pandemic Innovation.
This is a great resource for the academic job market in psychology This spreadsheet lists all the jobs and postdoc positions along with deadlines, salary, teaching load, insider info: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u…
Periodic reminder that all academics should have a Google Scholar page. If you have even 1 peer-reviewed paper signing up takes barely a minute, and it’s a great way for people to find out what you do and for you to see the impact of your work. Go get yours, if you haven’t!
A problem with algorithmic feeds is how much they distort our idea of popular opinion. We know only people with strong feelings post & that the algorithm hides moderate views. Add to that a system that shows you more of whatever outraged you, and soon you believe it is universal

Fascinating read. To be fair, we engaged with the point that empathic AI has no feelings--we noted that ChatGPT will say this to users, & that people who interact with it should know. Yet, considering user desire & needs could be helpful @minzlicht @jdcruzphil @paulbloomatyale
This paper motivated another that is now in press at Nature Machine Intelligence. We argue that researchers should not ignore *the fact* that empathic AI feels zilch. Serious ethical questions arise when technologies pretend to be sentient (even when people like them), are not.
Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
Something I have been recognizing is that as a new PI, just like at any other research career stage, you have to experiment a bit and find what works for you. It is yet another stage of self-invention along the academic path.

Politics 101: fan the flames of divisive conflict in your opponent's camp. Republicans are mostly unified on this issue, but Democrats have deep divisions. The Dem coalition includes Jews, humanitarians, etc. GOP includes evangelicals interested in biblical prophecies.
Congressional Republicans are talking an awful lot about "campus" right now in official e-newsletters.
What’s really fun is when you learn that this is how ALL people develop political opinions, not just college students. Political attitudes are more about in-group identity than reason and core values.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
