The Psychology of Attitudes and Attitude Change

Also, working with Greg, Geoff, and Bas couldn't have been lovelier. They're not on Bluesky, however, so no social media tags for them.

For the cover, I pitched the idea to take inspiration from wood type show posters and broadsides, and they were into it! It's very much a faux letterpress aesthetic that they came up with, but I like that it's typographical and not a desperate search for stock photos that barely resemble the subject

For your Christmas list consideration...

Early Christmas present! For the last couple of years, I have been helping to update this textbook for a new edition. I joined a great team that had written the original book, and together we thoroughly revised it and updated it with new research and examples. My copies arrived just the other day!

Small, vintage library ‘due’ card with printed text on it that says ‘a library book, I imagine, is a happy book. -Cornelia funke’.

Down to the last 5 library prints, made with old, gummed slips given to me by library pal @katierizz.bsky.social. #letterpress

(Everything.)

I really enjoy starting the work day with just myself, a cup of coffee, and a typewriter. Like many people, I'm easily distracted by the vastness of the internet. It's hard to focus on thinking through a problem or idea. These 100-year-old suckers help me slow down and just get thoughts on paper.

Haha, I thought "X" referred to the new version of Twitter. And I was like, if scientists wish more people knew about X, they've got some weird priorities.

New episode of Opinion Science! This month features TWO social psychologists--@pauleastwick.bsky.social and @elijfinkel.bsky.social.

We talk about the pile of research showing just how bad people are at knowing which attributes they care most about in potential romantic partners...

It all raises even bigger questions about what it means to like something and whether we even know where those opinions come from

They also talk about their fun podcast, Love Factually, where they use their expertise as relationship scientists to fact-check Hollywood, one romantic film at a time...

Insightful take on the conversation regarding dissonance.

Funny enough, when talking about the replication crisis in grad school, I remember saying to my advisor that if the original dissonance paper turned out to have been totally fabricated, it wouldn't matter. No one study should carry a theory.

New beautiful typewriter. 1938 Royal Speed King. Real snappy.

Also...what a great team to work with!

Can LLMs stand in for human respondents? We highlight some ways to consider the data in the context of moral judgments.

I'm excited to share that I’ll be reviewing PhD applications this cycle for students interested in working with me starting Summer/Fall 2026.

I’m especially looking for applicants excited about research on trust/persuasion, responses to historical harm, addressing inequality, and/or mindsets.

Bluesky has not yet been affected by my new obsession with mechanical typewriters. So, here. From my new morning routine, a delightful and refreshed 1937 Remington 5.

Also, what do you think of the cover? I once again pushed for a letterpress vibe. We gave the designer some samples from Hatch and other shops, and this was what they went with. Not a true print, but I appreciate their willingness to run with it stylistically.

Looks like you can get the ebook right now, but the printed version officially comes out later this month.

Do you teach attitudes or persuasion? I'm excited to share that I joined this great team for the 4th edition of The Psychology of Attitudes and Attitude Change, which is now available!

It's thoroughly updated with new research and examples + an effort to make the content even more accessible...

Ep 110! The wonderful @saramgrady.bsky.social shares her perspective on the function of entertainment and why it's worth studying carefully.

Satirical black and white poster full of text about disintegration of rights for disable kids in America. Full text through link in caption.

As I navigate financially crippling ‘choices’ for health insurance to cover a disabled child, I’m reminded of this print I made earlier in the year satirizing how our mighty leaders feel about disabled kids. Full text and context here: www.starshaped.com/postersprint...

Yikes. What a weird policy.

If this is a reprint, does that mean you kept the form on a galley or something (even though you said you'd never reprint it!)? Or did you reset the whole thing?

Opinion Science is back from its summer break, and I'm happy to share this conversation with @dbroockman.bsky.social.

We discuss why it’s so hard to predict which messages will work + the gap between political insiders’ instincts and what actually resonates with the public. (Links in comment)
