I asked ChatGPT why there has been an upsurge of interest in applied social identity research. It identified 6 factors: 1. Recognition of the Limits of Individualism 2. Robust Evidence from Basic Research 3. Global Crises Highlighting the Importance of Social Cohesion … (cont)

-- The Social Cure -- “The rate of policy citation among the social identity approach to health papers is greater than that of all comparator fields.” By Tegan Cruwys, @alexhaslam.bsky.social and colleagues. doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

We worked on this paper for about 10 years before finally seeing it in print. It connects with issues that have been central to the discipline of psychology for the last century — but which, we argue, fell by the wayside due to a limited understanding of the nature of the self.

Yes, this was a really great meeting — all the better for being small and intimate. It was a great opportunity to connect, and explore the nuances of leadership.

A lovely small conference on Crowds and Leadership at @exeter.ac.uk organized by @metesefauysal.bsky.social @swedishprotests.bsky.social, and @yasemingacar.bsky.social @alexhaslam.bsky.social's insights were brilliant! It was lovely to meet everyone, hear about their research and make new friends!

I was fortunate to meet Jimmy Carter when I was a postgrad at Emory U in 1986. It was clear then that he was a passionate advocate for human rights and for the transformative power of education. In the interests of his legacy, I’m glad he left us before Jan 20. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

My short talk at #SASP2024 today will revisit the keynote I gave at EAWOP last year on 25 Years of the Social Identity Approach to Psychology in Organizations, focusing on the proven value of the approach in the context of COVID-19. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Congratulations to Jolanda Jetten for winning the award for lifetime contribution to social psychology at #SASP2024. Hugely well deserved and a really fantastic achievement.

We’re on a two-day drive down to #SASP2024 at ANU, spending the night in the Shearers’ Quarters at Goonoo Goonoo Station.

Excited to share the champagne that my friends Kim Peters & Nik Steffens won as an award for “worst set of reviews of the year”. In a special issue on replication they were criticised because “if a study replicates we don’t know more than we did before; if it doesn’t, science comes to a standstill”

Had a fantastic evening seeing #RoundTheTwist at QPAC tonight. An absolutely brilliant realisation of Paul Jennings’ quirky TV show, that was the most fun I think I’ve ever had at the theatre. Bravo to everyone involved. www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/n...
