Read this thread yesterday and I keep thinking back to it (which here is a testament to how interesting this work is!) Sharing so others could keep thinking back to it too :D

@psychscience.bsky.social Submission site for Barcelona 2026 opens Oct. 30th!!! Join us in Spain for the first APS to be held outside the U.S. Many new ways to interact and to share psychological research being done around the world. www.psychologicalscience.org/conventions/...

Excited to announce our amazing lineup of speakers for the 2026 JDM preconference at SPSP! Conference date: Feb 26th Location: Chicago Deadline to apply: Oct 23rd. Application link: spsp.wufoo.com/forms/2026-p... cc: @sdellavi.bsky.social, @hirshmansam.bsky.social, @vinisingh.bsky.social

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Very disappointed that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being cancelled. What a great show. What a great guy.

"AI in marketing is characterized by automation, data processing, and predictive capabilities." See the AmericanReporter's piece on how AI is transforming consumer behavior. The key? Moving from interruption to anticipation. www.theamericanreporter.com/the-ai-revol... #Marketing #AI

Very interesting conversation

Harvard university’s top governing board, the Harvard Corporation, decided this month to revoke Francesca Gino’s tenure and end her employment at Harvard Business School www.wgbh.org/news/educati...

Since 1954, "The Handbook of Social Psychology" has been the field’s most authoritative reference work, and today is the launch of the 6th edition with 50 new chapters by 100 leading scholars. Best news? The HSP is now an open-access public resource—free to read, download, and share. the-hsp.com

Bocconi has a nice new sound logo :) Hear it at 3:05 if it doesn't take you there automatically. youtu.be/fJY9YhhHHY8?...

If you are attending SCP in Vegas, consider joining our special session on Modalities and Consumer Behavior! ⏰ Saturday March 1, 11.30am (Grand Ballroom E).

Bocconi Marketing is hiring a rookie professor of consumer behavior. Apply by Feb 28. jobmarket.unibocconi.eu?id=747

On day 4, this is a new frontier This is NOT cutting off new funds for research (see NIH review suspension) These data were already out the door It COSTS resources to yank it back This is eliminating data access so we can’t see what is happening to us

I did a NYT video interview—along with voices from Hungary, Nicaragua, and Russia— about how repression works in authoritarian states. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means. "He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

More effective digital ads screw up your reading and reading comprehension. This could seem obvious, but it also means one should bite their tongue before teasing anyone that prefers reading the news on paper vs. online.

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 The explosion of consumer-facing AI raise questions about who is more likely to adopt it. We examined how people’s knowledge of AI impact AI receptivity. Against most people’s expectations, it's not tech experts! And not for the reason you may be thinking🧵

The new incoming editorial team is now handling all initial submissions (revisions submitted through March 31 will continue to be handled by the prior team). The introductory editorial from the new team is now posted on the JCR website: consumerresearcher.com/editorial-im...

"Just over 30% of weekly podcast fans choose YouTube as the service they tune in with—more than any other single platform, including audio giant Spotify and podcast pioneer Apple" www.wsj.com/articles/eat...

Very interesting & consistent with my research with Eesha Sharma and Xiang Wang demonstrating that decisions under scarcity are not inherently less thoughtful or more myopic, but rather driven by attempts to address needs threatened by a lack of responses (JPSP: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...).

I've created a Starter Pack for academics in Behavioral Marketing. Feel free to nominate anyone whom I might have missed. go.bsky.app/8mGBELg

This Black Friday, be sure to use websites like camelcamelcamel.com (for Amazon) to check whether the "deal" is real or not E.g., the dog vitamins I usually purchase for $31 .... are $29 right now, apparently for a 33% off "Black Friday Deal"

Heroization promotes worse treatment of the very groups that it is meant to venerate Attaching the "Hero" label to groups (like teachers, nurses, and military personnel) strengthens expectations that they will volunteer for their own exploitation psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Phenomenal paper, one of my absolute favs! 2 points: 1) prospect theory is a *descriptive* model of choice. Choice still there, new work is getting us closer to understanding mechanism. 2) not clear whether choices are response to risk, and people apply same heuristic to similar non-risk contexts

For those of us who cannot attend this year’s excellent SJDM conference, this is a great thread #econsky

We (i.e., the marketing department at ESADE) are looking for PhD students. Please spread the word:

I saw Oleg's thread, and liked many parts of it. I also agree that the article is unnecessarily snarky at times, and takes some cheap shots at business research. That being said, I believe that the article is correct on one thing: We aren't doing enough to prevent fraud in business academia.

NEW: A study last year was hailed as a win for science reform, published in a Nature journal and authored by some of the movement's heavy hitters. Now it's being retracted. Here's the story of what happened. www.chronicle.com/article/this...

BREAKING: A judge has dismissed the defamation suit brought against Data Colada by Francesca Gino, the Harvard Business School professor whose studies were found to contain fraud. (Some of Gino's claims against Harvard will be allowed to proceed.) www.chronicle.com/article/she-...

Bocconi PhD student Yongkun Liu presents our new work on how presentation modality (listening vs reading) affects perceived accuracy. We find that people believe ambiguous information more when they listen to it than when they read it — seeing is not believing after all! W/ @kurtmunz.bsky.social

We tend to be concerned about the black box nature of algorithmic decision making, compared to human decision making, because we believe we understand the latter better. But that is very much illusory, research by Bonezzi et al suggests: buff.ly/3wKdhpz
