Sharing a scale that we just published in Sex Roles. It allows you to measure home and work roles for men and women separately (most existing scales fix those into zero-sum decisions). Scale is included in the Appendix. rdcu.be/fyd8f

Congratulations to the “Project Implicit,” which received🏆2026 SIPS Mission Award! Project Implicit offers online tests to millions of participants, uses those tests to document implicit and explicit biases, and shares massive open datasets to power discoveries in psychology and beyond.

What a good day to re-share this gem ❤️

“Not all polarization is equivalent nor undesirable” New preprint by Felipe Vilanova and @flavioazevedo.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps...

👋 🗣️ People of SPSP: I am super excited to present two sets of projects this week at SPSP! The first project looks at the experience of collective resignation (or disaffected consent) with the U.S. economic system among U.S. adults for the past 5 years. TLDR: too many people feel resigned

Incredibly grateful to the folks who have committed $5,000 to Project Implicit since our announcement of matching funds last week! A generous donor is currently offering an additional $1,000 for any individual or group donation of $1,000 or more. Group gifts can be coordinated with our team.

Every psych department has its quirks but the elevator is currently broken in all of them.

(Mic check 1-2-3) I'm on the job market🚨 I’m a social psychologist building computational models to study social cognition, attitudes, polarization, and how people update beliefs. Evidence accumulation models, Hierarchical Bayes, Agent-based models, NLP, etc. Interested in formal theorizing!

If you want to know more about how sexual violence has shaped higher education and set the stage for gender inequality across the rest of society, I wrote a book about it:

Reading about the new revelations about academia in the Epstein files, I can’t help but think about how many schools have a presidential appeal in their Title IX policies. Which means that the university president could decide the outcome of any Title IX case at their discretion.

Can we please have the new season of Ted Lasso early? Please?

🚨NEW PAPER 🚨 Are police more right-wing and biased against marginalized groups than the general public? If so, why? My new article in @pnas.org w/ @tylerreny.bsky.social, Newman, and Sears provides some answers. 🧵1/n

Snow day today! First school cancelation of the year. Kid 1 went to bed with her pyjamas inside out; kid 2 put a spoon under her pillow. So we'll never know what caused it ❄️ 🇨🇦

Please consider a donation sustain this critical service for research and education about implicit social cognition. The website has generated very useful data and discussion to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and processes of implicit measurement.

Have you used Project Implicit for class demo or research? I know I have. Project Implicit fundamentally changed social psych research and public discourse. Its impact is too big to write in one post. But all this work is in jeopardy, so pls join me in donating to sustain Project Implicit!!

Project Implicit is facing an existential threat. After almost 30 years, 60 million visitors, and hundreds of published papers, funding for our work has disappeared. We’ve never held a fundraising drive before, but we need your support to keep our site running. Please consider donating! 🙏

Anyone in Pittsburgh want to weigh in on whether the Science Center or Museum of Natural History would be more fun for two grownups (ish) and an 8yo and 11yo? Going to lunch with family and a Pens game in the evening so only time for one or the other.

New paper in press at JPSP! An adversarial collaboration focusing on a large-scale test of how strongly implicit racial attitudes predict discriminatory behavior. Pre-print here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

These responses are so helpful and interesting. Thank you all... and keep them coming!

Social psych friends, please help me out with a class discussion by responding to the following (and sharing): What do you see as the biggest challenge for social and personality psychology in the immediate future? What should we as a field be doing better than we are now?

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Clean blankets and sleeping bags are desperately needed at the 100 Victoria Street North encampment in Kitchener. Please drop off donations at the table at the front of the encampment.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.
