Interested in the psychology of disruptive behaviour at music events? Well have a read of this. Highlights include me, @lewisdoyle.bsky.social & @sanjeedah.bsky.social throwing ourselves around in mosh pits for science (plus in-depth interviews & a big old survey). dx.doi.org/10.1111/asap...

Could AI feedback in education damage teacher-student relationships? Our interview study suggests that teachers’ & students’ concerns about AI go way beyond its perceived reliability. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1007/s107... With @drrobnash.bsky.social, Viktoria Jakcsiova, and Ellen Turner.

‘They want You to Read Their Work’: Teachers’ and Students’ Perspectives on the Use of AI for School Feedback - Technology, Knowledge and Learning

Providing feedback is time-consuming for teachers, but new Artificial Intelligence tools aim to reduce this burden and improve feedback quality. We asked teachers (N = 12) to trial an AI tool for prov...

Preschool teachers provide fewer participation opportunities to working-class students than those from more privileged backgrounds 
‼️ Recent work by Lewis Doyle, Andrei Cimpian, Louise Goupil & Sébastien Goudeau

Preschool-aged kids whose parents are working class are less likely to be called on when they raise their hand compared to kids with middle/upper class occupations. Early socialization indeed. | From @lewisdoyle.bsky.social & @andreicimpian.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych #phdsky

“Whether students played by the rules by raising their hands or broke the rules by calling out, they were less likely to have their participation attempts accepted if they came from a working-class background” doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

New in @pnas.org. Preschool teachers were less likely to accept participation attempts by children from working-class backgrounds, regardless of their perceived language level. With a great team: @andreicimpian.bsky.social @sebastiengoudeau.bsky.social & Louise Goupil. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪 Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆 www.scientificamerican.com/article/cats...

New blogpost looking at the psychology of felt safety at live music events: tinyurl.com/4kcs7x2p. Draws on interview, ethnographic and survey data. With @profjohndrury.bsky.social @hannaeldarwish.bsky.social Danielle Evans, Fiona Green, @sanjeedah.bsky.social and @lewisdoyle.bsky.social.

Two days before learning that “research programs based on gender identity […] do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans” and seeing my NIH grant terminated, I had a paper published on male defaults: [1/2] www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I recently spoke to @samdenno-twinkl.bsky.social about some of my research on bias in education. Check out the podcast here: tinyurl.com/4jyyxusw

This week's podcast is essential listening for any educator, and important for any human being imo. Academic, Dr Lewis Doyle, talks us through our unconscious biases, how we can come to terms with them, and ways for moving forwards. Spotify: tinyurl.com/4jyyxusw @twinklresources.bsky.social

Published on the day I presented it at #SPSP2025! Three studies (N = 1,608) with @lindatropp.bsky.social and @matteasters.bsky.social showing the potential of interracial contact experiences to increase White teachers' self-efficacy and reduce racial bias in school choices. doi.org/10.3102/0013...

Linda Tropp@lindatropp.bsky.social · last yr.

so great to see @lewisdoyle.bsky.social present our work (with Matt Easterbrook), and to have thoughtful and thought-provoking conversations with so many early career scholars at today's poster session 🤓 #SPSP2025

This TICS paper turned out to be unexpectedly timely... We could have called it "Why DEI and Merit Go Hand in Hand" given recent developments... Valuing diversity and excellence/merit aren't opposing forces -- they're complementary.

New paper with an amazing team on the allure of the meritocracy belief. Our intuition tells us that effort brings about success in life (of course it does), but this oversimplification ignores important external factors and threatens to perpetuate inequalities. doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2024.12.008
