That’s a wrap! #spsp2026

Today (Saturday, Feb 28) 2pm in E271 #spsp2026

Super excited to chair my first symposium with @dongwonoh.bsky.social at @spspnews.bsky.social this Saturday (2pm-3:10pm, E271)! We have talks from Abhinanda Dash, Ming Huang Teo, Bastian Weitz, and me. If you are in the Windy City and curious about social hierarchies, join us! #SPSP2026 🌬️ 🌬️ 🌬️

*Correction: DongWon’s cultural psych preconfeference talk is on Wednesday, Feb 25 (not Tues, Feb 24)!

Hello Chicago! Oh Lab @ohlab.bsky.social at #SPSP2026 hailing from Singapore--8 presentations and 7 speakers across posters, talks, and a symposium. Come say hi! 👋

Big congratulations to Yuqing Shi @syuqing.bsky.social, a PhD student of mine, on receiving the Besample Dissertation Grant! Really exciting work on cross-cultural face perception. Can’t wait to see where this goes. besample.app/dissertation...

Now in press at SPPS. Ruled out perceiver effects, stereotypical trait structure, assumed similarity; tested generalizability; and added longitudinal data. Kudos to coauthors @finneazmoner.bsky.social, Natasha Tan, and others. First paper as PI! Latest preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

👇Last chance to sign up!👇

Congrats Joy Tong for her single-presenter talk acceptance at #SPSP2026: “Intrapersonal Factors Trump Contact Frequency in Cross-Racial Face Recognition.” Network analysis shows that quality interactions (not mere exposure) are what matter for improving other-race recognition.

Congrats Finneaz @firdausmoner.bsky.social for his accepted symposium “The Architecture of Status Perception: Economic Status Stereotype Awareness Shapes Clothing-Based Competence Perceptions” at #SPSP2026! He’ll present “Dressing the Part,” and Ming Huang (Ben) Teo will share “Empowering Attire."

For the first time, my trainees got their SPSP talks accepted--and 3 at once! Such a blessing. Congratulations to Finneaz Moner @firdausmoner.bsky.social [lab manager], Ming Huang (Ben) Teo [former lab manager)], and Joy Tong [PhD student]. Proud of their hard work. See you in Chicago! #SPSP2026

I'll be in Sydney (June 16–21) for conferences and Melbourne (June 21–25) for a talk at the University of Melbourne. If you're around and want to connect, @ me! Would love to meet up 🇦🇺🦘🐨🪃 #EPC2025 #APCV2025

Year 3 comes to a close. Grateful for steady growth and small wins—a seed grant, journal R&Rs, and new manuscripts in the works. Thank you to the students, RAs, and lab manager for showing up with care, curiosity, and energy. Wishing all the best to those graduating.

Oh Lab represents!!! #spsp2025
