Excited to share that our paper, “To Regulate or Not To Regulate? Situational and Individual Differences in Emotion Regulation Initiation in Daily Life,” was accepted at Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin! Postprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

There has been a LOT of research on misinformation over the last decade. In a new paper (for Annual Review of Psychology), @dgrand.bsky.social and I attempt to distill the key points of consensus, highlight major disagreements, and point to future directions. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

New work led by @whatsinertia.bsky.social, combining fear conditioning and perceptual deindividuation. Conditioned threats spread to more dissimilar Black vs. White targets- findings of interest for soc cognition as well as eyewitness identificatoin. Check it out!

New paper in @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social!! 🧵 When people learn to fear one person, who else do they mistake for a threat, and does race shape the pattern? Read here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1m~aL51f8~...

Thrilled to share that my first PhD project was nominated for both an oral presentation and a travel award at the upcoming @sansmeeting.bsky.social, SANS2026! I’m looking forward to discussing new ideas and analytic considerations. Feel free to reach out if you're interested! See you in San Diego 👋

Are you a prototypical Democrat/Republican? Or do you deviate from the norms of your party in meaningful ways? If the latter, my research suggests you may be less biased in your moral judgments. Read more here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨 NSF is already quietly eliminating the SBE Directorate, despite Congress’ mandate that NSF support the behavioral & social sciences. Steps to counter this are in motion. If you - have an SBE proposal under review - serve on an SBE grant panel You can help! Fill out this form: shorturl.at/xuKw2

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

So glad to *finally* have this out!! Major thanks to both Clare and Emily

Thrilled to release this year’s program for the Shared Reality Virtual Conference (Mar 24-25)!! Register here to receive the Zoom link (free!): universityofhouston.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Organized with: @emmamiller.bsky.social @abdoe.bsky.social @changlu-cl.bsky.social

It’s time yall! I’m excited to co-organize a symposium with @freemanjb.bsky.social at @spspnews.bsky.social this week!! Come by Friday morning (8am, room 450B) to see some amazing talks by phenomenal researchers! @xallysie.bsky.social @chujunlin.bsky.social @whatsinertia.bsky.social #SPSP2026

New paper on cross-race contact from my lab, forthcoming in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin: “Around but not close? Mapping normative trends in cross-race contact during adulthood”. Read the postprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Excited to share this preprint with Yahel Nudler and @thatadammorris.bsky.social in which we provide further evidence that people’s awareness of implicit evaluations is shaky at best — when explicit evaluations provide a misleading cue, participants systematically mispredict: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Excited to have two MiSL Lab Members presenting at #spsp2025 preconferences! @arajo-eunkyung.bsky.social will be presenting our Street View sampling tools at the Computational Social Psychology preconference as a *featured* data blitz! (paper at guilfordjournals.com/doi/10.1521/...)

New preprint from Lindsey Tepfer (@ltjaql.bsky.social) and me! We silenced portions of internal monologues in two films to manipulate participants' access to characters' thoughts. Using ISC and RSA, we found that this aligned later neural processing of the narrative & encoding of trait impressions.

New preprint: Empathy, Thick and Thin papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... It is perhaps foolhardy to attempt to say something new about a topic as widely studied as empathy. I tried anyway! 1/

I’m excited to share my 1st first-authored paper, “Distinct portions of superior temporal sulcus combine auditory representations with different visual streams” (with @mtfang.bsky.social and @steanze.bsky.social ), now out in The Journal of Neuroscience! www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Paper and R package for (more flexible) power analysis in multilevel: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

Thrilled to announce a new paper out this weekend in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social. Moral psychologists almost always use self-report scales to study moral judgment. But there's a problem: the meaning of these scales is inherently relative. A 2 min demo (and a short thread): 1/7

Excited to share the preprint for my 1st 1st-author manuscript! @markthornton.bsky.social and I show that people hold robust, structured beliefs about how individual mental states unfold in intensity over time. We find that these beliefs are reflected in other domains of mental state understanding.

I’m admitting 1–2 Ph.D. students to join my lab in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU Boulder, starting Fall 2026. We study person perception, stereotyping and prejudice, and intervention science. Application info: www.colorado.edu/psych-neuro/... Lab info: www.svmlab.org

A widespread view in psychology is that most cognitive processes are unconscious. In a new paper, I argue that many of these processes may evade consciousness for the same reason the "invisible gorilla" did: People fail to pay attention to them. 🧵 direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...
