I'm hiring! I am currently establishing my new Research Group for Personality Psychology at Ulm University and am looking for a motivated researcher to join the team starting October 1, 2026 (or by arrangement). 🧵👇 (1/4) 🔗 Full description and details: stellenangebote.uni-ulm.de/jobposting/a...

Funny! We came across this literature (which uses signature size as a PROXY for narcissism) and had a similar reaction. We (@juliastern.bsky.social + Natalie Popov) ran a study (N = 417) to test how “robust” the relation is. Surprise. No relation at all. Seems like we need to write this up?

❗️A new blog post on collective punishment -Is it effective? Read the blog post: ejp-blog.com/blog/2026/5/... Read the article: doi.org/10.1177/0890... Authors: @schildchristoph.bsky.social, @laulilleholt.bsky.social, @robertboehm.bsky.social and Ingo Zettler

What riles me up about “people tried to shut down PP research” is that Cuddy’s own coauthor-turned-critic Carney guest-edited a whole special issue of Registered Reports on Power Posing (incl a meta-analysis), which shows strong evidence against PP even though most authors clearly weren’t sceptics.

We’re hiring! Our team at the University of Münster is looking for a Doctoral Research Associate. Topic is flexible, but should strengthen work on social behavior, personality in interaction, or personality dynamics/well-being. Interested candidates are very welcome to get in touch. Please share!

Majestic, well done @rickcarlsson.bsky.social

Do you want to do a PhD in Judgment and Decision Making in two beautiful European locations on human-AI interaction? Well have I got news for you. @bahniks.bsky.social and I are recruiting a candidate to start around September 2026. See here: decisionlab.vse.cz/english/we-a...

New paper out in @irsp-rips.bsky.social We tested three claims about how individual differences shape impression formation. rips-irsp.com/articles/10....

Ok researchers rise and shine, it's groundhog day - what better way to get you up to date with what has been going on at the FORRT Replication Hub? forrt.org/replication-...

New paper out: Some people are systematically better at judging others’ intelligence. Who are the best judges? People WHO are intelligent themselves, have good emotion-perception ability, and who are high in well-being. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m glad to share our new paper on fossil fuel reliance and climate change mitigation. Higher perceived reliance is associated with lower support for systemic climate policies. (1/4) @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New preprint w/ @fbartos.bsky.social , Ben Jones, and @tvpollet.bsky.social . Our reanalyses found *little* evidence that sexual orientation is associated with 2D:4D ratios after accounting for publication bias. 🧵1/7 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Finally, @bjoernhommel.bsky.social's and my paper introducing the SurveyBot3000 is officially out in AMPPS. It's a fine-tuned language model that guesstimates correlations between survey items from text alone. Not perfectly, but useful for search, for example. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🚨STOP, replication time!🚨 Does Feeling “Right” Make the Good More Good (and the Bad More Bad)? Achar & Lee found that when people experience regulatory fit, moral predispositions get amplified—moral folks act more moral, less moral folks act less moral. Big, exciting claim!

Does “feeling right”—that is, experiencing regulatory fit—lead us to act more in line with our moral preferences? With @schildchristoph.bsky.social and @stepf.bsky.social, we conducted a series of the first large-scale, independent close replications in the field of regulatory fit.

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 together with @schildchristoph.bsky.social, @laulilleholt.bsky.social, and Ingo Zettler: "Testing the effectiveness and endorsement of collective punishment." Published in the European Journal of Personality, find it here: doi.org/10.1177/0890...

No evidence that hormone fluctuations (testosterone, cortisol, estradiol, & progesterone in 257 women) are related to a variety of unethical behaviors & tendencies. @juliastern.bsky.social @schildchristoph.bsky.social @larspenke.bsky.social psyarxiv.com/xfjhy/

Excited to have our paper included in this special issue “Reflections on the Credibility Revolution in Social and Personality Psychology” where we praise reliability and generalisability efforts in first impressions but ask at what cost to validity and theory? spb.psychopen.eu/index.php/sp...
