A timely article indeed: Are Review Teams Getting Too Involved in the Revision of Manuscripts? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I truly enjoy seeing the growth and development of my students. I get great joy from it.

I wrote the latest cover story for The Atlantic. It's about the far-ranging implications of one simple statistic: Americans have never spent so much time alone, and surging solitude is warping our society.

I'm really proud of it, and I hope you read it.

I spent quite a bit of time today and yesterday redesigning classes that I’ve been teaching for years now. I had such a refreshing sabbatical last semester that I couldn’t resist the redesign. In any event, I’m looking forward to the spring semester.

Just watched Mufasa. Beyond it being a good movie, it’s a great example of the importance of intergroup relations and who is able to lead and influence certain groups.

Have you heard of ‘Christmas Adam’? The day before the day before Christmas is coming. - The Boston Globe It’s hard to define Christmas Adam, aside from the date. Unlike Christmas Eve, Christmas Adam is not part of an official Christian calendar.

My wife and I are starting a new tradition of making a different type of brownies every "Christmas Adam." Anyone else up starting/doing traditions on this day? www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/22/n...

Meet the most ruthless CEO in the trillion-dollar tech club Hock Tan of Broadcom is less Jensen Huang or Tim Cook and more Jack Welch on steroids

This is a bad idea of leadership: "Identify a mature business, ideally one that is critical for customers. Buy it at a decent price. Cut it to the bone by reducing the workforce, eliminating less lucrative products and slashing research-and-development budgets." www.economist.com/business/202...

Where Are the White Students? A Chronicle analysis shows their numbers are dropping faster than any other group’s.

And this is a major issue in Higher Ed amidst the drop in white enrollment: "how to change recruitment efforts to attract more white students while also trying to rectify persistent racial inequities for a population that will soon make up the majority of students." www.chronicle.com/article/wher...

When people feel that a society’s leadership and social fabric are breaking, it fuels a desire for authoritarian leaders. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

“Participation in collective action moralizes individuals’ attitudes because it politicizes their identity and enrages them vis-à-vis the (immoral) outgroup and that (b) moralization in turn helps to better understand sustained movement participation.” psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

We look forward to receiving your good work!

With so much going, it’s the silence on human issues (e.g., race relations, impoverished communities) in everyday encounters that bother me most. It appears that it’s easier to look the other way or remain quiet in the presence of injustices…

I have asked Chat GPT for ‘exact’ and ‘real’ quotes about various topics and the quotes have been very good. The only problem is that they have rarely been ‘real’ quotes. Or, when I ask for the source of the quote, it tries to explain to me how the quotes could’ve been MLK- or Gandhi-like. Not good.

Thanks for the starting the support group here before the madness!

The movie was good in terms of acting and storyline but it’s also a good illustration of how leadership is an outcome of group and social identity processes—those who embody the attributes of the group are most likely to be effective leaders.

A nice movie night with the wife! Gladiator II was great.

Nik’s face illustrates the sentiment quite effectively. Well done!

A fascinating methods article that illustrates the potential of longitudinal website data for organizational psychology research.

“The especial glory of Affection is that it can unite those who most emphatically, even comically, are not; people who, if they had not found themselves put down by fate in the same household or community, would have had nothing to do with each other." ~C.S. Lewis

Just watched the new Stanford Prison Experiment documentary. It is well done and provides a much more balanced account than what has been portrayed in psychology textbooks for the last 50 years.
