How can nonprofits effectively present cost-effectiveness information? 🎯 A brand-new research paper by @joshdalewis and @deborahasmall finds that people use impact cost information (for example: $1 to provide a meal) as a target for how much they should donate. Brief summary🧵

Previous research shows that people sometimes view moral questions as objectively true, while other times treating them as true only relative to different perspectives. In our new paper, we present evidence that social rewards may explain this apparent inconsistency...

Studies find that some people espouse moral relativism, others espouse moral objectivism. What explains this mix? New Cognition paper with evidence for a surprising answer: People espouse relativism to signal tolerance, objectivism to signal intolerance philpapers.org/rec/MOSSIS-2

New paper: using visuals of poverty in humanitarian aid campaigns is some times criticized as “poverty porn”. We examine what people think is bad about it.

🚨New paper out at Cognition! Examining ethical judgments of poverty portrayals in charity ads, we find lay judgments hinge more on whether portrayals are genuine (sampled from reality) than whether they are representative (depict what is typical). More details below...

@deborahasmall @dggoldst Right. I did it for years. We once had it in the Ronald Reagan Suite of a hotel somewhere in Texas, I think. It's all a blur.

What stands out in your memory about the first conference you went to as a grad student?

@deborahasmall @dggoldst Was that 1998? I also went back and told Elke and Barb that the conference wasn't welcoming to grad students. They put me in touch with the organizer and I was given a $200 budget to buy drinks for grad students. Best job ever.

Haha. I went to SJDM in 1997 and it was filled with math psych. Overwhelmed, I came back and told Barb Mellers and Elke Weber that I think I made a mistake going to grad school. They (Elke, I think) told me to wait a few years till my costs were sunk and it would be okay. 😆 SJDM ended up being my favorite conference in later years. I also got to meet @MarsZeelenberg . That was good.

@andre_quentin I have always thought that the broader case for science reform would be easier to make if there was an indentied victim

@deborahasmall The only explanation I can think of is that the harm of research fraud is more abstract and diffuse than the harm of, say, sexual harassment or racism. So maybe a flavor of the identifiable victim effect?

"Call out bad behavior when you see it, and support those who do" is a very uncontroversial idea when applied to bullying, discrimination, harassment... So why such controversial reactions when people call out research malpractices? I'm genuinely trying to understand... 1/2

@andre_quentin I know not your point but sounds like an interesting moral judgment research question

If we agree that turning a blind eye to discrimination is being complicit to it, shouldn't we apply the same standard to data issues? If we think that calling out people for their bad behavior is helpful in the workplace, why wouldn't it help in research? 2/2
