Are voters turning radical because of culture wars or economic fears?

🔹Economic insecurity boosts Radical Left support
🔹Cultural threats and econmic fears combined boost Radical Right support
🔹Cultural fears alone often push people to the center

Peer Review Week - Theme PRW 2020

This year's #PeerReviewWeek, focusing on "Rethinking Peer Review in the AI Era," comes at a perfect time: We've recently started implementing AI policies for authors & reviewers. As AI affects publishing in all kinds of ways, we want to thank all human reviewers across our journals.

We are thrilled to announce that Karolina Dyduch-Hazar has received the Solomon Asch Early Career Prize for her outstanding work, "Feeling Bad About Feeling Good? How Avengers and Observers Evaluate the Hedonic Pleasure of Taking Revenge" (co-author: Mario Gollwitzer). 🏆

The Vegan Dystopia: Understanding the Psychosocial Experience of Vystopia While most often explored in fictional contexts, the ability to imagine alternative worlds (i.e., utopias and dystopias) may play a critical role in shaping human morality, justice, and social change.

Vystopia, vegan dystopia, is an existential crisis experienced by some ethical vegans who see society as morally failing.

Veitch & Gregson examined the psychosocial characteristic of vystopic vegans using linguistic data from the subreddit r/Vystopia (N_posts = 14,542).

The Creative Musical Achievement of AI Systems Compared to Music Students

🎼 Can AI write music as well as humans?
Not yet.
A new study tested melodies by ChatGPT-4, Llama 3, and Qwen 2 vs. human compositions and found that music students rated human creations higher on all counts (convincing, logical, interesting, likable).

What are AAMs anyway?

They're the final version of a research article after peer review and acceptance, but before copyediting and publisher formatting.

While the final publishing can take some time, an AAM lets readers access your research immediately.
Citable, and archived with its own DOI.

Want to make your research available before final publication?

Once your article is accepted by one of our journals, simply download and complete the AAM (Author Accepted Manuscript) form.

Your AAM is archived in PsychArchives and appears under 'Forthcoming Articles' on the journal’s website.
