New preprint with @JessaStegall, Emily Hembacher, @mcxfrank, and @hyogweon: Young children infer the informativeness of others' praise. https://t.co/mi5PrHwi11 Adults give children a lot of praise, but do children always trust it?

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity. Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples: • Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content • 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict • 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news
