Come and join us this Wednesday for the official launch of the centre!

Predicting public opinion, preserving historical texts: New NUS centre marries humanities with AI A new NUS centre is combining AI with humanities to predict public opinion, preserve historical texts, and tackle complex social issues. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The Straits Times did a nice piece on our centre (@cssh-nus.bsky.social), which will be officially launched this coming Wednesday, with @mmvty.bsky.social as our keynote speaker. Looking forward!

Last day!

Today (Saturday, Feb 28) 2pm in E271 #spsp2026

Super excited to chair my first symposium with @dongwonoh.bsky.social at @spspnews.bsky.social this Saturday (2pm-3:10pm, E271)! We have talks from Abhinanda Dash, Ming Huang Teo, Bastian Weitz, and me.

If you are in the Windy City and curious about social hierarchies, join us! #SPSP2026 🌬️ 🌬️ 🌬️

Thanks to everyone who helped make the culture pre-conference a “successful failure!” We didn’t make the main pre-conference time, but we had a packed house and a great time. #SPSP2026

*Correction: DongWon’s cultural psych preconfeference talk is on Wednesday, Feb 25 (not Tues, Feb 24)!

Lists 7 presentations in chronological order: (1) Preconference Talk — DongWon Oh, Tue Feb 24; (2) Poster — Finneaz Moner, Thu Feb 26; (3) Poster — Yuqing Shi, Thu Feb 26; (4) Poster — Anqi Mao, Sat Feb 28; (5) Poster — Runquan Yu, Sat Feb 28; (6) Talk — Joy Tong (Chair & Presenter), Sat Feb 28; (7) Symposium — Finneaz Moner & DongWon Oh (co-Chairs), Sat Feb 28, featuring talks by Finneaz Moner and Ming Huang Teo. Each entry includes the presenter's photo, paper title, and location.

Hello Chicago! Oh Lab @ohlab.bsky.social at #SPSP2026 hailing from Singapore--8 presentations and 7 speakers across posters, talks, and a symposium. Come say hi! 👋

Now in press at SPPS. Ruled out perceiver effects, stereotypical trait structure, assumed similarity; tested generalizability; and added longitudinal data. Kudos to coauthors @finneazmoner.bsky.social, Natasha Tan, and others.

First paper as PI!

Finally! Congratulations!

My new research found when trying to distinguish real faces from AI-generated ones, people with average face-recognition ability performed at chance, and while super-recognisers performed better than other participants, it was only by a slim margin.

Big congratulations to Yuqing Shi @syuqing.bsky.social, a PhD student of mine, on receiving the Besample Dissertation Grant! Really exciting work on cross-cultural face perception. Can’t wait to see where this goes. besample.app/dissertation...

Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone. Confucius said 40 is when all doubts fade. I still have plenty, but I trust myself enough to keep going anyway (:

Super cool, congratulations! @jadynpark.bsky.social and Yuan Chang

📊 Key finding:
Participants over-attributed AI generation, labeling nearly 60% of all images as synthetic—even though only half were.
This "AI attribution bias" leads to:
✅ Higher accuracy detecting synthetic images
❌ Lower accuracy recognizing authentic images (5/)

Finally! Congrats, great to see this one out

We have a new tutorial out in Social Cog methods issue, a resampling tool we made in R that basically tells you when some average is "stable" and can be used to guide data collection or test hypotheses related to variance. Quick explanation here

Thanks everyone for joining us and blessing us with sharp questions and engagement. Thank you Juliana, Angel, and Harry for your presentations! #sesp2025

I'll be presenting work led by Anqi Mao, a PhD student of mine, on improving human detection of AI-generated faces via training. This kicks off a new direction in our lab's research on social perception and interaction in digitally mediated contexts. More to come! @ohlab.bsky.social

Am I dreaming? Our symposium on AI disclosure, trust, and authenticity, my first-ever SESP submission, was accepted for #SESP2025 in Lisbon! (& my first time attending 🤩) Grateful to co-speakers Juliana Schroeder, Angel Hwang, and @harryyan.bsky.social who took a leap of faith and joined me on this.
