New post: Can AI Replace Social Science Researchers? (No. No it can't. Come on, now.) davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/can-ai-rep...

New paper, expertly led by Matthew Ivory, on whether ChatGPT could pass a psychology degree. The answer was pretty much yes (albeit a low scoring pass). A lot to unpack in the paper but tldr is we really need to rethink how we assess our degrees and what we want students to get out of university.

For the final talk of the symposium, @helenortheorymis.bsky.social discusses how microecological segregation is practiced in action by walking interview participants who negotiate social avoidance (and contact) in an urban context 🧵4/4

Next, Ira Frejborg presents her critical discursive psychological analysis of news media comments to understand negotiations of everyday intergroup relations and the right to the city in a changing urban 🧵3/4

The symposium starts with Sointu Leikas talking about experience of sampling the microecology of interethnic contact in Helsinki 🧵2/4

With social psychologists joining us from Helsinki, their symposium features studies bridging the methodological divide – particularly by offering complementary approaches to studying microecological ethnic segregation and contact in an urban context 🧵1/4

We cannot allow this to stand anymore! We have prepared a petition calling for a boycott of the next ISPP 2026 conference in Newcastle, UK, unless the Executive Committee resigns or responds to our concerns. Please read and sign the petition here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

1987 is probably my favourite year for social psychology -- I can't think of a better one for books on exciting new theory.

As a student interested in discursive and rhetorical social psychology, I often struggled with the analysis. There were few practical guides on how to do it. Now, exactly 3 years later, we have outlined a pragmatic three-step approach to the critical discursive psychological analysis.
