New publication from us on the role of environmental attitudes and behaviour in relationships. TLDR; we like environmentalists as long term partners, particularly if we're environmentally-minded (and if we are, we do not like those that aren't!) bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The roles of pro‐environmental attitudes and behaviour in mate choice

Introduction Previous research has shown that pro-environmentalism, as a signal of prosociality, can be a valued trait in mate choice. It is also predicted that perceivers' own pro-environmental tra.....

Myself, Dr.Manpal Singh Bhogal, @danielfarrelly.bsky.social & Dr.Niall Galbraith are currently recruiting participants for a study that examines which traits are desirable for a relationship. If you would like to know more, please scan the QR or follow the link to the participant information page:

NEW - I asked the UK government if they had assessed energy demand/emissions resulting from plans to make the UK an "AI superpower". The analysis they pointed me to seemed... pretty implausible. Just 0.1m tonnes of CO2 a year. My calculations suggest emissions could be 100s of times higher.

🌿 PhD Opportunity in Environmental Psychology: We would like to invite students to apply for the student-led 2026 WGSSS PhD Studentship Competition at Cardiff University. (1/3) 🗓️ Deadline: 11 Dec 2025 🔗 wgsss.ac.uk/student-led-general-competition

As internet & AI use increases at a rapid rate we need to recognise the impact this has on the environment. In this JEVP commentary I argue we need to investigate and understand online sustainable behaviour so we can address this concern. authors.elsevier.com/a/1llSkzzKDP...

I'm hoping to get UG psychology students to complete preregistrations of their final year projects, anybody got any experience/advice? It will be for both qual and quant studies, and I want to keep it as simple as possible (i.e. not mandatory or assessed). Thanks!!

Can I class myself as bilingual if I can go between typing 'behaviour' and 'behavior' seamlessly between different documents?

Just presented some results on the communicative value of sustainable buying in the context of a climate-related EHBEA-funded workshop (organized by @danielfarrelly.bsky.social and @Manpal Bhogal) Great work from researchers working on climate-related topics from an evolutionary approach.

If only the evolutionary social sciences had more Margo Wilsons. Lovely piece from Daniel Nettle on how her work is "a particularly successful example of how you can bring evolutionary understanding to social science topics and be genuinely constructive; rather than just irritating people"

Margo Wilson, and how to do evolutionary human science

In October 2024, I had the great honour of travelling to Hamilton to give the Margo Wilson Memorial Lecture.  It was fifteen years since Margo’s death. Preparing the lecture gave me the oppo…

Just reviewing a study with a whopping 11-point Likert scale - surely going for the record there?

Apparently it still needs saying that the UK's economy has continued to grow, even as CO2 emissions have fallen www.carbonbrief.org/...
