Automatic, environmentally driven processes are key in shaping moral decisions - our choices about right and wrong aren’t purely conscious, they are also shaped by automatic responses to our surroundings. Sadly, information bubbles block those outside influences, locking us into our views…

🔥How do we respond when observing an offender taking money from a victim?
-focus more on the offender
-prefer to punish offenders than compensate victims
-BUT when automatic attention falls on the victim, the punishment preference vanishes

Writing a public engagement piece with your new student is a great way to get the PhD started - thanks for all your work on this @lauren-ford.bsky.social Maybe we can pivot your thesis to experimental workplace neurosurgeries ;)

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

Does perceiced scarcity makes us more or less cooperative? Results are not that straightforward! Check out our mini-review where we try to make sense of it, now out OA in Current Opinion in Psychology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thank you for this! Could I please be added?

There is a scientific fraud epidemic — and we are ignoring the cure

Worth your time:
a post-mortem on the Gino case.

Thank you very much, Zoé Ziani 🙏

I was shocked to hear that eLife will be replacing Michael Eisen @mbeisen.bsky.social as the journal's Editor in Chief for reposting a tweet by the Onion about the loss of lives among Palestinian civilians.
I just sent in my resignation from my membership on eLife's Ethics Committee.

So happy to see this paper finally out - a model that explains the recency effect in choice, supported by both behavioural and fMRI data; thanks to the co-authors and especially Aldo Rustichini, the brain behind this! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #CogScience #BehEcon

Most academics know that MDPI is not the most reputable publisher but this is particularly grim: a special issue in which 27th of the 28th papers are authored by the two guest editors.

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

London South Bank Uni Psych grads Silvia Castellano and Andrei-Denis Balog presented their undergrad project at the annual meeting of the British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience #bacn23. 🧠🧠🎉 Here they are with their cool poster and one proud supervisor Elisa Carrus! #PsychSkySci #neurosykence

Hi all, I am a cognitive neuroscience researcher interested in social behaviour, especially decision-making and social norms. I don’t post much but if I do it’s about psych/neuro science and higher education. Would love to post about my cat but he told me not to. #PsychSkySci #neuroscience
