Do people judge and understand "Men are brave" like "Men are braver than women"? Will "Men and women are equally brave" be more convincing than "Men are as brave as women"? I just submitted my dissertation that showed that comparative formats matter. @KU_Leuven @PPW_KULeuven

✨Excited to share a new paper with Vera Hoorens and Susanne Bruckmüller ✨ Does it matter whether we compare groups implicitly ("Women are brave") or explicitly ("Women are braver than men")? Yes, it does! A 🧵 @jlangsocpsych journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Special Issue Editor will be @emanuelepoliti1 ✨ #socialpsychology #intergrouprelations #migration #ethnicity

Psyched to announce this new publication in @CognitionJourn! 🎓In this systematic review, we investigate the relation between scalar implicature derivation and working memory. Full-text available here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hxC%7E2Hx2t… @wongwai3w @WSchaeken

Our Dutch emotion ratings paper is now online in BRM! We have ratings of valence, arousal, happiness, anger, fear, sadness, disgust, and surprise for 24,000 Dutch words. They pair nicely with our Dutch sensory norms 🙂 shorturl.at/atKNX #OpenAccess

How central is being a man to men’s identity? Is their masculinity easily lost and therefore needs to be socially proven? How does this reflect in their behaviour? @AsterRossum has some answers and new questions at #easp2023krk! Come check out her poster (5.34) this afternoon 🤗

Very excited to present at #easp2023krk on Monday! Join our (@MarieJuanchich,@MaikeBraun2,@HegoLab, and great others) symposium on "how comparative expressions bias people's thinking, understanding of probabilities, and impressions of others" or come find me for a chat 🤗

Meeting the PI Lab in Torino! Nice chat about pragmatics, spatial reasoning, RSA etc. @WSchaeken @BojanNys @MidasVO @wongwai3w @FelixHVHermans #XPRAG

The PI-Lab working three days in Torino on their plans for next year @wongwai3w @BojanNys @FelixHVHermans @midasVO#bigbraintime

Which expression is more powerful to change a #genderstereotype, "Men are as emotional as women" or "Men and women are equally emotional"? I will present our findings at #baps2023 in Mons tomorrow, feel free to check out our symposium starting at 13:50 in Lafontaine! @BapSciences

This paper i an absolute gem: psyarxiv.com/2uxwk/ Great science, great writing, and a wonderful conclusion about scientific writing. I laughed out loud multiple times reading it. Hats off!

Social media has been broadly linked to intensifying political polarization. But why would social media drive polarization? My new paper in PNAS suggests that the reason might not be what you think... 🧵 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
