Pleased to announce my new book Emotional Development across the Lifespan (Guilford Press). Can serve as a framework for a grad course to be supplemented by empirical readings--or just a review of current theory & research for anyone interested! guilford.com/p/camras

@BrettMurPsych @ZakWitkower @ProfJessTracy Yes, predicted facial expressions sometimes do occur with their corresponding emotion--but not as often as originally believed, i.e., not most of the time. We need to focus on identifying the factors that determine when they do or do not occur.

Perhaps you read a recent meta-analysis suggesting basic emotions don't co-occur with their predicted expression. Please read our commentary (Me+Nick Rule +@ProfJessTracy), accepted at Emotion, on why this conclusion is at odds with the data presented. static1.squarespace.com/static/5d05764…

@wendybmendes @kim_jmartin @UCSF Wendy will be a great mentor! Congratulations!

@kim_jmartin @UCSF We are excited and lucky to have you here @UCSF!

🎉I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship to go to @UCSF with mentor @wendybmendes!!! Thank you family, friends, mentors, collaborators, & colleagues. I am so happy, honored, and excited!😊

@Infantstudies Eric is breaking important new ground in studies of infant social and emotional development! He addresses questions that matter.

ICIS member spotlight: Prof. Eric Walle leads the Interpersonal Development Lab at UC Merced, which seeks to understand how young infants develop into social and interactive individuals.

@eblissmoreau Listen to what Seth has to say. He is wise.

@Catherineoscopy so sad--well, I would have laughed

Today in intro I said “Weber wasn’t just known for his grills.” And no one laughed.

@SusanBPerlman @Dr_Koraly @DrErikaLunk Looking forward to learning more about this!

So excited to share our theoretical perspective on parent-to-child transmission of anxiety though interactive dyadic mechanisms. This is just the start of a research program with an amazing team @Dr_Koraly @DrErikaLunk and Carlo Panlilio. More to come! trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/16…

@NinaSteele17 @Momademia Missing your job and the intellectual stimulation it provides is totally reasonable and no reason to feel guilty. But perhaps you can find other sources of intellectual stimulation that are still available and spend some time thinking about some "big questions" re:your research.

11 days into mat leave +... Is it ok for me to feel like I miss my job? Of course I love being with baby + bonding with her all day (+ all night) but I miss the intellectual stimulation being a #NewPI provides! Feel guilty admitting this- do other parents feel similar? @Momademia

@Dr_Koraly @childemotionlab @UWMadison @UWMadisonLS @UWPsych Terrific! So well-deserved!

@childemotionlab @UWMadison @UWMadisonLS @UWPsych Congratulations!!! This is fantastic news.

My thanks to @UWMadison, which has been so very good to me over so many years now. @UWMadisonLS @UWPsych

@Dr_Koraly @childemotionlab @smith_ke @Rutgers_Newark Well-deserved! Looking forward to following her great career.

@childemotionlab @smith_ke @Rutgers_Newark Congratulations!!

Thrilled and delighted to announce that Karen Smith (@smith_ke) will be an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University (@Rutgers_Newark) this Fall. We will miss her, but are excited to see the amazing work on child adversity she'll do next! karenesmithphd.com

@LFeldmanBarrett @moshe1bar Now I can feel validated!🙂

Congratulations to my colleague and friend Moshe Bar (@Moshe1Bar) on the publication of his engaging new book, "Mindwandering"! amazon.com/dp/0306925303/

@smith_ke @childemotionlab This paper makes a very important point--related to a slightly different general point that attending to something does not automatically mean it will govern your behavioral response. There is often a process of appraisal that moderates the effect of attentional processes.

New paper out with @childemotionlab! We find stressful life events and perceived social isolation interact to influence how children use value information to inform their behaviors but not how they learn that information. srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cd…

Has anyone made a highly entertaining animated video illustrating how the different covid vaccines work? Maybe it would help some people feel more comfortable about receiving the vaccine.

@rachel__walsh In a very nice way, I would take the opportunity to educate the author regarding current thinking about gender within the field of psychology as a whole. I'm sure you have received many similar suggestions from others. And no, you are not being too critical.

I'm reviewing a paper on sex differences and authors suggest females have weak "psychological endurance" as a potential explanation...this seems very offensive to me. Authors are from a non-Western country. Am I being overly critical?

@childemotionlab @m_zettersten @affectScience @ISREorg @SRCDtweets This is so true! And such an important direction for future research! (hint,hint to young researchers)

Emotion knowledge emerges through an incremental learning process in which children use combinations of factors weighted differently across development. srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… Bravo @m_zettersten & Tina Woodard! @affectScience @ISREorg @SRCDtweets

@jayvanbavel Highly relevant to retired academics!

Having too little time is linked to lower subjective well-being caused by stress, but having an abundance of discretionary time is also often linked to lower subjective well-being because people lack a sense of productivity. psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-76…

📜JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT📜We're thrilled to welcome the new Editors in Chief for Affective Science: Ralph Adolphs, Linda Camras, & Lani Shiota! society-for-affective-science.org/new-editors/

@affectScience This is great! When I signed onto this, I didn't realize we were getting a free vacation cruise!

@affectScience So true!!

... nor does contextual influence denote inherent facial ambiguity.” Therefore, we should move beyond the search of the “most important” cue for emotion recognition. 💫 Check the full manuscript at Affective Science: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

What are the interactive effects of faces, postures, and scenes on emotion categorization? @ReschkePeter & Eric Walle found that “although there is an overall tendency to use the face to categorize emotion, face predominance is not synonymous with resistance to context... (1/2)

@DrNeblett Yes indeed!

Reviewers, if you recommend rejection of a manuscript and write confidential remarks to the Editor supporting that recommendation - that's all good - but PLEASE write a review that is consistent with your recommendation.
