The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world mediation that includes c' is somehow different than a multiple regression model.

The #nca26 reviewer portal requires all divisions to use the same rubric and includes an item that asks the extent to which the submission shows "Connection to Convention Theme." I do not now nor have I ever cared about the theme. I plan on giving every submission 10/10 on this criterion to protest.

Hey y'all! Very pleased to announce that we'll be hosting Communication Science Futures again in East Lansing later this year. The conference in 2024 was a blast, and we're looking forward to running it back! Keynote speaker: James Pennebaker Submission deadline: June 5th. → commscifutures.com

1/ 🧵PROCESS Model 4 is the wrong tool to test mediation in an experiment. The c’ path turns prediction into description and prevents falsification. New preprint with @chriscarpenter.bsky.social and @beccafraz.bsky.social at osf.io/preprints/ps... explains why.

From Joe Francemone and me: Moral information about one character doesn’t just shape how we see them—it reshapes how we see others around them. In social networks, moral judgments spread through contrast or assimilation depending on how the network is structured. academic.oup.com/joc/advance-...

OSU School of Communication alumni (and especially our grad alumni), we're hosting a reunion on Sept. 12, 2025, where we'll be opening and dedicating the new Lantern Newsroom.

Best lab now has the best notebooks!

Andy Luttrell@andyluttrell.bsky.social · 2y ago

I'm finding a groove making letterpress pocket notebooks. These were a gift to @mattgrizz.bsky.social's lab, which I've been crashing while on sabbatical. Covers printed w/ vintage metal & wood type on a signpress. Recycled paper inside. (If your lab wants something like this, we can talk!)

For all the new-to-ICA co-authors (not first/presenting authors) of accepted ICA papers who received this email that implies your required attendance, rest assured that--unless something dramatic has changed--the attendance of non-presenting co-authors is NOT required... 1/3
