New paper! Caregivers of cancer survivors have to cope with complicated emotions. Nevertheless, their perspective in regulating own and others' emotions is understudied. In our Opinion article in Frontiers in Psychology, we propose a new framework for interpersonal emotion regulation among caregivers of cancer survivors. More in this 🪡. 1/N @zakijam @KarenNiven4 @ethan_kross @giorgiobee

Two common findings from sleep research are that 1) short sleep durations predict worse health outcomes, and 2) people from some cultures sleep much less than those from others. Do people from cultures with short sleep durations have worse health outcomes? 🧵

Nice thread (look forward to reading the paper). It captures a recurring theme in the social psych of "people are idiots and fools" (and debunks one particular case): 1. Design a study to exploit something that people normally do for good reasons, but corrupt the reasons, so that 2. People look like idiots and fools 3. Then trumpet to the world how idiotic and foolish people are. "Hey, I just pubished a peer reviewed study! p<.05! You don't believe people are fools? Are you some sort of science denier?" Same problem occurs in some of: stereotype (in?)accuracy, stereotype biases, implicit "bias," attribution "errors," heuristics, confirmation bias, expectancy biases, context effects, conformity and more.
New WP! The illusory truth effect (repetition -> belief) is core to psych of beliefs, & thought to be a deep bias impacting misinfo, persuasion & advertising Why would cognition include such a flaw? We argue it is a rational adaptation to high-quality info environments 🧵1/

We uncovered this old hearth in the kitchen of my 17th century house. Isn’t it a beauty?!

Moved into my new house 10 days ago. A farm from 1651, it’s the oldest house I ever lived in! Most of it is already very livable but the kitchen desperately had to be renovated. Here’s the freshly plastered wall. It’s the coziest place of the house!

Marvel’s first family — such a deep part of our modern mythology (if you wonder where the makers of The Incredibles got it from)

Bingo! Allegations of speech causing harm are almost never backed by evidence of harm. It's usually assumptions all the way down. @lakens is also good on this. But psych sci reformers have generally been silent, or worse, complicit in speech erosion.
Great stuff on "Woke" from @paulg. This part at the end is what I was trying to get at in my "free speech" tweet last year. I think instances where you can prove that a speech act caused actual harm exist, but are VERY rare. paulgraham.com/woke.html x.com/StuartJRitchie/status/…

Made a guest appearance as a shrink in a rap video. Some of my neighbors are music producers so they invited me. It was definitely a fun and unique experience! You can find a link to the video on the next post. 1/2
