How can we reduce sharing of false information online? Asking ppl to explain how they know that a headline is true or false reduces intentions to share false headlines (w no effect for true info). New research from @PillaiRaunak and I in @CollabraOA 1/ online.ucpress.edu/collabra/artic…

First paper with my awesome postdoc advisor @lkfazio using person-centered approaches to understand conspiracy theorists! Takeaway: conspiracy theorists appear to be motivated by intuition and rationality but lack truth discernment abilities routledgeopenresearch.org/articles/2-29

I feel like this was a success last year. Let's roll call again. Underrepresented folks on the 2023-2024 job markets in social psychology & management/OB, please reply with some info about you & a link to your website (make one if you haven’t yet!) Good luck!

I’m getting emails asking me who’s on the market. So, underrepresented folks on the 2022-2023 job markets in social psychology & management/OB, let’s do a roll call. Please reply with some info about you & a link to your website (make one if you haven’t yet!) Good luck!

🔔Want to pursue a PhD or Masters researching the self regulation of learning? I’m recruiting students interested in understanding the metacognitive & motivational mechanisms that support students learning & transfer while centering equity.

According to new research in Psychological Science, when the news provides stories of wrongdoing, repeated exposure may influence our own sense of morality, making those narratives seem more true and less unethical. @PillaiRaunak @lkfazio psychologicalscience.org/news/2023-augu…


So lucky to have been able to learn about intergroup relations alongside such a great group (*ba dum tss*) of students and from our instructors @dominicpacker_ and Steve Spencer! #SISPP #SISPP2023

It was a privilege and pleasure to be an instructor for intergroup relations at #SISPP 23!! So exciting and energizing to spend time with such brilliant students! (Plus I got to proselytize about Bill McGuire’s hypothesis generation exercises, one of my favorite things.)

Remember the videos of people licking ice cream and putting it back on the shelf? Such moral transgressions often go viral on social media with users seeing the same wrongdoing multiple times - how does that repetition affect people's beliefs? 1/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

I’ve posted a lot of papers illustrating the Illusory Truth Effect (the more you see something the more true it seems, even if you know it is ridiculous - a big social media problem!) But this paper also finds that repeated viewing of a story of wrongdoing makes it seem less bad

It's out! rdcu.be/dgNtq Quick 🧵 We looked at how people remembered fact-checking articles that corrected rumors around the 2017 French election and if certain design features increased the articles' efficacy for correcting beliefs. 1/

Got an acceptance for my nemesis paper yesterday 🥳You know, the paper that's taken way too long (project started in 2017) and you now absolutely despise. So so pleased to finally have it out in the world.

Making sure your assumptions are met is a key part of making appropriate statistical inference. In a recent #psynomBRM paper, @ItamarShatz shows why you should check–not just test–these assumptions. Post by @kllycttn & @PillaiRaunak featuredcontent.psychonomic.org/why-you-should…

Fact-checking articles can help people revise their beliefs--but people can forget the details of the articles over time. If we improve memory for these details, can we make fact checks more effective? Surprisingly, no! This was fun, but puzzling, project to work on. See 🧵below

We know that fact checking articles help correct misperceptions and that quizzes improve memory. So.... quizzing + fact checks = even more accurate beliefs, right? NOPE New paper out today in #psynomCRPI rdcu.be/ddVdv 1/

Does it matter how we phrase fact checks? New #JARMAC research on the wording of fact checks shows that there are multiple ways to effectively communicate fact checks on social media @PillaiRaunak @brownschmidt @lkfazio @APA_Journals doi.org/10.1037/mac000…
