🚨 PUB ALERT🚨 Erica and I are excited to have this out in PSPB. It is extra special because the origins of this project were me watching Kathy Phillips and @ProfAkinola exude authenticity not because they were powerful but because they were respected. doi.org/10.1177/014616…

@DanaHarariHamam @TechnionLive congratulations!!!!

Excited to share that I've won an ISF grant for my research on hobbies at work. An especially meaningful milestone, during a year that has been very challenging. If you are interested in doing research about hobbies at work, feel free to reach out. @TechnionLive

NEW @OrganizationSci with @coutifaris, @paulgreenjunior, and @BarsadeSigal For leader emotions, timing is everything We find that WHEN a leader expresses an emotion may be as important as which emotions they express for team member social worth and performance

@SLSciarappa this is awesome, Shannon! congratulations 🎉

Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9

My new @sciam piece on why giving actionable feedback, instead of simply correcting or praising the work, can help people thrive! This kind of feedback, which I call 'Agentic Feedback', can be particularly valuable for marginalized groups. scientificamerican.com/article/useful…

BREAKING: The #2030Census and federal surveys are getting new checkboxes for “Middle Eastern or North African” & “Hispanic or Latino” after White House’s @OMBPress approved the first changes to U.S. government standards on racial & ethnic data since 1997 federalregister.gov/public-inspect…

Fantastic piece by Marten Scheffer on the forgotten half of thinking: ".. taking walks, reading things unrelated to your research, and hanging out with strangers in a campus pub should be considered part of the serious process of thinking .." pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

New article in @HarvardBiz about the challenges that come when organizations flatten hierarchies and decentralize authority, with the fabulous @EricAnicich. We examine structural and people dynamics that get in the way and offer advice on how to intervene in them. Link below.

"Ultimately, it is difficult to cultivate a completely different personality, but small changes are possible" Exciting new personality change review in @NatRevPsych by @jackson_josh_ @aj_wright19 nature.com/articles/s4415…

We have updated our pre-print on using GPT for text analysis. Our most exciting new finding: GPT-4 Turbo (the updated GPT-4 model released this January) is even better than the prior version of GPT-4 at detecting psychological constructs in text:

🚨Out in Nature Human Behaviour🚨 Effort is costly--how can we learn to value doing effortful things? Reward effort, not outcomes/performance! Our registered report (w/ @hauselin @j_a_westbrook) shows people can learn to prefer doing effortful tasks doi.org/10.1038/s41562… /1

Teaching or learning stats and R? I'm creating self-graded practice exercises so that students can test their understanding of the material without the help of an instructor. I just created some related to how to estimate causal effects using randomized experiments ... #rstats

In press @OrganizationSci with Natalie Croitoru and @BA_Helgason . Employees want to act in ways they see as morally appropriate, but legal regulations don’t always align with personal moral preferences.

Ooo, cool: new work from @bureaulab showing how organizational structures (aka bureaucracy) actively shapes the expertise of the people working in it - creating and hiding it, for ex. Another interesting aspect of organizational friction, @work_matters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

🚨WP🚨 We test 9 online samples and find clear tradeoffs between attentiveness and representativeness - which sample is best depends on research q and priorities. For social/political qs I rec Bovitz/Lucid, for complex designs I rec Cloud/Prolific. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Why do people sometimes seem to overweigh rare events, and other times ignore them? Why do those w/ access to same information end up with different beliefs about the risk they face? We present model + evidence for how people perceive uncertainty🧵1/9 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
