Stop unnecessary acronyms in your manuscripts! It helps you, not your readers.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Si vous ne voyez pas que les États-Unis de Trump/Musk sont en train de basculer vers un système totalitaire et policier, c’est que vous faites déjà partie de ses victimes. Si vous pensez que cette démocratie n’est pas en danger, c’est que vous faites déjà partie de ses complices. #Trump

Happy to share the publication of this new paper where we report 5 studies validating in French the General Intellectual Humility scale (GIHS; Leary et al.). Intellectual humility speaks to whether people are humble regarding the fallibility of their beliefs. 1/n

Cancelling the review (sending the decision letter without waiting to receive all the reviews) of a reviewer without informing them, that is not acceptable. We give our time freely for this work and doing it for nothing is not acceptable. Editors, do not EVER do that!

Large (n=312k) study across 57 countries finds women are, on average, a little better than men at inferring what others are feeling, thinking or experiencing—what is known as Theory of Mind: buff.ly/3GwIduS

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

Exciting news: The dedicated funding for replication studies from the Dutch science funder NWO (that I proposed many years ago) will return! Great to see this! www.openscience.nl/en/news/open...

People seem surprised there is a lot of variety within the movement for better research practices. But of course there is! This paper by @uyguntunc.bsky.social and @mntunc.bsky.social analyzes some of these disagreements, and is a good read: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Check this out! Evidence on the difference that open methods & high power make for replication rates ⏬⏬⏬

So nobody has actually replicated McGuire's original psychological inoculation experiment from the '60s. A team just did in 2023 (60 years on) b/c he was ahead of his time & deposited materials. Turns out to be a robust & reliable finding in social psychology! econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/10.1027/...

Our last paper published out of Marine’s PhD (such a blast to work with her). Here, we apply the VAAST to study approach/avoidance action tendencies regarding cigarettes.

In a recent message to its member, the EASP EC explained their policy of not making political statements. Even if some colleagues I like and admire disagree, let me explain why I firmly stand by this policy. I hope this will not spark the polarized debate that we tried to avoid:

#EEGManyLabs will replicate 20 of the highest impact findings in the field in at least three labs each. All studies will be planned and published as Registered Reports. Paper: d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/95338626/1_s...

I think that is relevant, perhaps as a proxy for the distinct subcultures. In my observation, Sociology, as a field, has not been nearly as engaged as the others with these issues. Less scholarship, less debate/discussion at conferences, less grassroots organizing, etc. Not zero, just less.

Does anyone have suggestions for papers discussing the link between misinformation research and conspiracy theory research?

"Près de 60% des médicaments exposés dans les vitrines des pharmacies en Suisse n’ont pas d'efficacité médicalement prouvée. C’est la conclusion d’une étude menée par une équipe de médecins du Centre hospitalier Bienne" Et si on vérifiait en France ? www.rts.ch/info/science...

People sometimes say that theories are never invalidated in social psychology, but what about Rydell and McConnell (2006)? 🙂
