Research shows that [many] young people admit that technology makes them feel bad. They'd like to give up their mobile phones but can't. Why? Bc these technologies weren't designed with public interest in mind, but by companies that want to buy n sell our attention

Dear #AcademicSky,

Today I spent several hours on the thesis-in-progress of a student. By reading her text, I feel #hope for the world. When I stopped and had a short look at the news, hope went away...

What's the solution?

Best,

G.

What is "serious enough" for science? Such a pity that we miss what is fun because it is not serious (sic) enough...

Is humour serious enough for science? Fabulous @newyorker.com article on the insights gained from research by Elena Hoicka & orhers on the development of humour 👶🧪 #cogsci #psychscisky #devpsysky #earlyyears #infantstudies

Why Are Kids So Funny?

The emergence of humor so early in life suggests something important about human nature.

Very nicely put! I recently read a chapter by Fredrickson (2013) explaining why psychology has not investigated positive emotions for several years. Such a pity not to study what makes us laugh!

Georgios Vleioras @gvleioras.bsky.social · Sep 8

That was one of the mottos in a keynote in the recent #ECDP2025 conference in Vilnius. I loved it!
