New working paper lead by Gustavo Jesus on the neural processing of politicians' faces. In a preregistered study, partisanship does not seem to condition the processing of politicians faces. Great interdisciplinary collaboration as part of our ippad project. Details ⬇️

If you want to understand moral psychology, you need to understand relationships. Thanks Sigal Samuel for a great writeup in Vox of our recent work on Reddit's "Am I the Asshole?" Paper here: osf.io/preprints/psya… Article here: vox.com/future-perfect…

New paper in Cognition & Emotion in which Yphtach Lelkes and I review the affective polarization literature and argue that we more theorizing and an research agenda to determine the extent to which polarization is affective. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Huge kudos to the team for this Top-Paper award ICA Comp Methods! We introduce a new tool for measuring morality-as-cooperation in text corpora using Media Neuroscience Lab's MoNA platform: mona.mnl.ucsb.edu

My 'GPTology' paper, on perils and opportunities in using LLMs in social science, is now published in PNAS Nexus academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

New paper out! We find that, while uncertainty language and negative sentiment on X increased for COVID-19 and 2020 US elections, during the Capitol attack, the link reversed! Moral outrage, anger and fear spiked, and uncertainty language went down. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…

Many fields—including psychology, sociology, communications, political science, and computer science— use computational methods to analyze text data. We find that the all versions of #GPT are capable of accurately detecting various psychological constructs in text across 12

Very comprehensive summary of recent moral conviction research by Jean Decety: zenodo.org/records/110011…

So happy to see this paper finally out! This was a monumental effort, and is a fantastic example of who Chen (Crystal) Chen is as a scholar. I'm obviously biased, but I'd consider it a must-read for folks who work with VR, AR, and other forms of "immersive" media.

🚨 New article 🚨 Open LLMs are powerful and reproducible alternatives to closed models like GPT or Gemini. In this tutorial, we (Zak Hussain, Marcel Binz, Rui Mata) explain how LLMs work and show how to apply open LLMs to behavioral science questions using the

I'm so glad to see that Nature Neuroscience is now considering registered reports! nature.com/articles/s4159…

5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in Nature Neuroscience! nature.com/articles/s4159…

I was happy to talk a bit about the role and representation of racial minorities in popular movies. Many of these insights were produced by a study led by the brilliant Musa Malik in collaboration with Media Neuroscience Lab and myself. Full study link: aup-online.com/content/journa…

Political ideology is associated with differences in brain structure, but less than previously thought. Learn more in iScience journal: cell.com/iscience/fullt… @GijsSchumacher Diamantis Petropoulos Petalas & Steven scholte
