New paper! We found that a) US-Democrats and Republicans have much more in common than they think, b) showing these similarities reduces polarisation and (c) elicits hopefulness for the future and trust in the other group. With Paul Hanel EASP doi.org/10.1177/194855…

More evidence that so-called 'high-quality' journals aren't better: "... the quality of preregistrations was not associated with the journal’s reputation—neither the Journal Impact Factor nor the Transparency and Openness Factor." osf.io/preprints/osf/… #academia

Exciting special issue in CRESP showcasing research originating from the Middle East and Africa: do check out the content for very interesting set of findings from understudied contexts great papers Paul Hanel & Alexander Kirchner-Häusler sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

I'm looking forward to discuss my and Lukas J. Wolf's research on 29 October (mostly in German). Thank you for the invitation Cultures.Academy 🕊️

There has been no increase in the economic diversity of elite private and public colleges over the last century. However, these colleges have become more racially and geographically diverse.

Thank you for sharing our research. Since this article was published, we have now also extended it and shown that there are substantial similarities in values between Democrats and Republicans. Highlighting those similarities can reduce polarisation journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

Isn't it a bit strange that we are supposed to “just do interdisciplinary research” without ever becoming professionalized in it? Together with my co-authors, we looked for a solution to this problem. academic.oup.com/spp/advance-ar…

Encouraging paper on how political repression backfires: Positive link between perceived repression and anti-government violence. "Randomized experiments revealed that thoughts about repression also motivate participation in anti-government violence." royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Last Friday members of #essexpsychology had the opportunity to tour Westminster, observe a parliamentary session, and engage in training with the Industry and Parliament Trust, learning strategies to use our research to make real world change through engaging with public policy!

We love to share new papers on here. But how many of the studies that scientists preregister on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly? In a new paper in AMPPS we estimate 40% of preregistered studies are never shared. That’s a lot. 🧵⤵️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25…

Not all 'AI' is created equally #qualtrics #AI

Interesting study: "trust in political institutions is eroded when there is overrepresentation of those educated in the private sector." ... "privately educated individuals—who represent >7% of the [UK] population but 30%–70% of the political cabinet" doi.org/10.1111/bjso.1…

Far more unites us than divides us. A study of 86,000 people reveals remarkable similarity in moral attitudes, values and trust across all ages, demographics & groups Study psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2018-… OG beautifulne.ws/781 #bnews

New paper: Across 3 experiments, we found that people react more positively to a happy (vs angry) voice - no surprise here. But more interestingly, highly empathic people were especially drawn to happy voices. doi.org/10.1037/emo000…
