Our team developed a scale to measure subjective perceptions of one's own status as it relates to the perceived racial economic hierarchy. We think there are a lot of interesting research questions that could be asked with this measure! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kxIg-CmV5...

Oh gosh I just used this in my stats class this semester and it’s always been such a helpful demonstration! Thanks so much for preserving this resource!

I have been so touched by Sam both personally and through his work on racism in the criminal justice system. Here is a link to the innocence project, one of the places listed to donate in his honor: innocenceproject.org

This is absolutely devastating. Sam made such an impact on me and I admired him so much. I am so devastated to see this.

Oh man, I needed this!

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

Oh and I second severance. I was totally on the fence for the first two episodes and then got hooked!

This is so obviously true and yet so seemingly hard for a lot of people I have worked with to accept: "Science can never be, nor has it ever been, dispassionate and objective."

Our new paper in @science.org shows that misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, and when it does it’s shared more & read less. bsky.app/profile/will...

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

I highly recommend listening to Keith’s conversation about his new book here! Super interesting ideas for our current political climate.

Well this is a bit of a cliff-hanger. What does the next slide say?? We have some work that perceiving people in groups facilitates social categorization which enhances the category-based prejudice directed toward them…does the next slide nuance those findings?? Conflict with it?? The suspense!

What is the relationship between social categorization and prejudice? Christoph Klauer revisits an old problem at Osthofen #facemeeting.
Categoriazion in necessary for prejudice, but is it sufficient?

Teaching undergrad stats for psychology, I love trying to help students think about null hypothesis significance testing more deeply than the binary “reject or fail to reject the null” that they come in fixating on. This article was fun/interesting to read with that goal in mind.
