Developmental changes in the perceived moral standing of robots

📣New work from Madeline G. Reinecke, Matti Wilks & Paul Bloom

Fascinating thread. One thought on outrage: it can be exploited, like many processes, but that doesn't mean outrage itself is bad. I've argued it can be constructive if used wisely, am exploring this with my student Faruk. Issue here seems to be digital literacy

All of my grad applications are submitted. I feel relieved that they are done, but also I am second guessing the SOPs that I submitted. Could I have done better? Should I have used a different style? I guess I will just bounce in and out of an existential crisis until sometime in spring.

Psychedelics Have a Placebo Problem How do you study mind-altering drugs when everyone knows they’re tripping?

I spoke with The Atlantic about psychedelics, RCTs and unblinding, a timely discussion before tomorrow's FDA PDAC meeting.

When you proof read an important introductory email multiple times but then forget the salutation 🤦‍♀️ Now do I resend the email with the Dear X, or do I just run the risk of being perceived as rude. #adhd

When your psych lab is studying recreational fear you gotta keep it going year round.

Not looking to spark a fight.... but in perusing psych papers on conspiracy theories or beliefs, there is often no clear conceptualization or definition given.

Seems a bit problematic from a construct point of view.

Or maybe this is proof of a vast psych'l conspiracy to take over the world....

The start of 2024 means exciting times for the Consortium on Moral Decision-Making! Here's a piece by EMP Lab member Eliana Hadjiandreou about our aims & work. Reach out to get involved!

The Realistic Promise of Multiparty Democracy in the United States A collection of essays show the importance of political parties, the benefits of having more than two, and a path to multiparty democracy.

Honored to be part of this New America report on prospects for US multiparty democracy, with my former graduate student Jennifer Wendling. www.newamerica.org/political-re...

Put in your own prompts into chat gpt. It consistently uses fairly repetitive verbiage and phrases that could help you pick out some of the more blatant copy and pastes from ai.

Thank you :)
On the other note, I wouldn’t even know how to respond if someone asked me to write my own letter of recommendation. I didn’t even know that was something that happened.

Chiming in as an undergrad soon to be applying… Asking someone to write a letter that doesn’t know a student well is somewhat pointless. A transcript would reflect that they got an A. However, knowing that I need 3 letters has made me try to forge more relationships with more professors.

Only Bluesky is deserving of my awesome social psychology memes. (I am studying for my psych final & have gone insane)

Rise of the Anti-Hero: Comparison of Moral Ambiguity in Films.
There seems to be a growing trend of increased representations of the antihero trope. doi.org/10.32473/ufj...
