My former institution Colby College is hiring a tenure track in intergroup relations, broadly defined & open to many psych areas (not just social). This is my replacement line. I truly enjoyed my time at Colby and it's a great dept! Happy to answer Qs if I can.

Its more common for jobs that are explicitly teaching oriented, for example, a teaching professor position at a research university or most positions at liberal arts / R2 universities

I use cyberball in a research methods lecture as an example of experimental realism.
That video would be great to show how well it works.

I’m always slow on the social media, especially while conferencing. But I had a fantastic time at our joint lab dinner with @jackiemchen.bsky.social’s lab at this year’s @spspnews.bsky.social meeting. I’m looking forward to some big collaborations with a great group of students

Whereas age, weight, and race biases generally aligned between lower- and higher-status groups, the biases of lower-status religious groups always diverged from the biases of high-status groups.
It seems that religious groups reject the prejudices of the outgroup 2/2

@iniobong.bsky.social led a paper that speaks to this. We correlated the intergroup biases of normatively lower-status groups with the biases of normatively higher-status groups across a lot of different social groups (including religious) in a lot of different countries. 1/2

It was not well received.
