Major new paper by finds implicit measures like the IAT are no better than asking people directly about their biases. After decades of avoiding self-reports, turns out our sophisticated replacement tools work no better than what we abandoned. New post!

I've written a short piece for @uk.theconversation.com about how our understanding of the role of #emotionregulation and #emotionalintelligence in #narcissism has evolved. Huge thanks to #JennaHutber the editor for all her work! theconversation.com/what-weve-le...

Great essay from @nicolecrust.bsky.social about the debate about what is an 'emotion' - this feeds into some of the issues around terminology and definitions in related fields like interpersonal emotion regulation.

Cool post. It's easy to make assumptions about how 'easy' another person's job is when you haven't done it yourself & this is a post that shows working as an academic isn't as 'cruisy' as one might think...but neither is HE administration. I'm incredibly grateful for our professional staff!

We are hiring! New Asst Prof (G8) post @durhampsych.bsky.social *All areas* but with some teaching in forensic psych. Deadline September 16. durham.taleo.net/careersectio...

I’m wondering if we’ll get another heatwave before descending into the dark, chilly autumn and winter months (wooly jumper & hot choc at the ready…)!

I wish I were able to attend the conference this year but if you can, you should! ACPID is a great conference, really student friendly and with a lovely 'core' group that regularly attends. Look out for @caro-maccann.bsky.social @kitdouble.bsky.social and many others!! Also, Melb has GREAT #coffee!

I just visited www.sanza.co.uk and went a little overboard buying "a taste of home" (Aus + NZ) to be delivered to me at home here in the UK! I'm most excited for the NZ marmite, and the cans of creamed corn! Would be even better if I could order my friends, family, and dog to be delivered!

I wrote a blog post for #ISSID on being an ECR in academia today. I talk about some of the opportunities, the challenges, and why community and balance matter. t.co/MpuyhuZGIh

I’ve never presented in a fancier room than this! It was great fun talking about a review we have been tirelessly working on as to how eyewitness researchers report on their coding schemes. Preliminary data suggests inconsistency and sometimes a lack of transparency. Paper and recommendations coming

Excited to see this systematic review getting presented at @officialsarmac.bsky.social by lead author @hayleycullen.bsky.social which talks about the importance of transparency & clarity in coding schemes of eyewitness memory research. Paper coming soon!

Our new paper shows that ChatGPT can outperform humans in offering emotional support. We wanted to understand why. It turns out the most effective messages included something people could actually use: specific, actionable support. osf.io/preprints/ps... w/ Chen & López-Pérez

Lilly has done incredible work in her PhD with building a framework and empirically derived definition of gaslighting. This work marks a huge contribution to ensuring concrete, evidence based research in this field. This is awesome!

Fantastic work from this trio!

I appreciate my husband, Li. We have the most incredible conversations about research, emotions, regulation, methods & stats but he’s not an academic - he’s an incredible software developer & integrations expert - but he fully invests in my research & frankly deserves a PhD too! Everyone needs a Li!

Why does the first coffee of the morning smell so darn good!?!

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side. Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen. The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.

In our paper "The need for a unified language framework in extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation research" published in #Emotion, we propose that this emerging field would benefit from building consensus around the langauge we use in our research. #regulation pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39699601/
