It was a delight to present on Belonging to Soetie Generale, a European leader in financial services for over 150 year

We're hiring a research associate for a project on the psychology & neuroscience of open-mindedness in politics. Ideal for someone research-oriented with skills in Python/MATLAB. Motivated, curious minds encouraged to apply! https://t.co/G63zn9fAij

The partisan brain effect is extremely robust! The “concordance-over-truth” bias persisted across education levels, analytic reasoning ability, and partisan groups, with a stronger effect among Trump supporters. Extreme Trump attitudes are the strongest predictor:

Delighted to talk about belonging @Northeastern

NEW EPISODE OUT! @anjie_cao chats with @michaelschwalbe and @GeoffCohen on their most recent work on our biases in consuming political news! https://t.co/DM0am76KEB

The real divide may be “between those who believe they know the truth and those who remain open to the possibility that th ey might be mistaken.”

In research led by @michaelschwalbe of our lab, partisan bias trumped truth in people’s belief and sharing of real + fake news— an effect that held across ideology, education level, and cognitive ability. Critical thinking begins with being critical of our own minds.

I’m learning a lot from Dr. Bettina Love’s book, Punished for Dreaming. Love’s book shows how many school reforms have undermined the opportunity, potential, and belonging of millions of Black children.

Focusing on effect size may offer a way to pursue this important research while maintaining rigor.

The N-heuristic may incentivize large, fast, non-behavioral online studies, and deter research on underrepresented populations, immersive in-person studies, group dynamics, and long-term change.

Small N studies with large effects replicate more reliably than large N studies with small effects. Despite this, many in the field consider large N to be the key factor determining replicability—what we call the N-heuristic.

A new meta-analysis led by Xingyu Li finds that effect size, not sample size (N), predicts the replicability in psychological science. https://t.co/Ygtord5pbx #Psychology #Research

For many this election season is already filled with a combination of dread and dismay, but the second season of Breaking Bread may calm some nerves in an anxiety ridden environment by mixing food and politics https://t.co/CGxXLYF7U2

Grateful to Greater Good Science Center for their good work and this interview about the science of belonging. https://t.co/rvg3VVaBpX @GreaterGoodSC

Using Twitter may satisfy the need to belong as junk food satisfies hunger, leaving you feeling worse and disgusted.

Group learning got you puzzled? Try jigsaw! 🧩 Social psychologist @GeoffCohen explains the benefits:

a refreshing and inspirational approach to campus disagreement. “Disagreement does not mean erasure of the other side.”

The trouble with inaptly named "inclusionary" zoning is that it assumes a permanent housing crisis. The effective tax means that rents can never fall below a certain threshold—once market rates aren't high enough to cross-subsidize, all production stops.

delighted and excited to be a part of this!
