Can emotion regulation interventions spread from treated to non-treated people in a group? We examine this question in a paper published in @NatureComms, led by @Michael_Pinus & @Yajun_Cao. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Dear researchers on AI-empathy, We (@AnatPerry, @minzlicht, and @_desmond_ong) are writing a short review of current research on AI and empathy. We know your published work but are also looking for preprints or submitted papers that we may have missed. Share in comments!

New paper in Nature Human Behavior (led by @MatanRubin1), where we manipulated the perceived identity of a real-time empathic response to be or AI. We observed a drop in perceived empathy when label was AI, and this effect was mainly driven by emotion. rdcu.be/et9ad

When are LLMs-as-judge reliable? That's a big question for frontier labs and it's a big question for computational social science. Excited to share our findings (led by @aakriti1kumar!) on how to address this question for any subjective task & specifically for empathic comms

How do we reliably judge if AI companions are performing well on subjective, context-dependent, and deeply human tasks? 🤖 Excited to share the first paper from my postdoc (!!) investigating when LLMs are reliable judges - with empathic communication as a case study 🧐 🧵👇

The rise of @jordanbpeterson & similar influencers among men doesn't stem from their advice & guidance. Those are pretty basic. It's the demand that signifies the crisis men are facing, and society's failings. I talk with @RichardvReeves of @aibm_org podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how… 🧵

✨Deadline approaching, June 1st!✨ Apply if you want to investigate brain orchestration in visual (free!) exploration. You will learn a bunch of cool cog neuro techniques, and get to work with a great team of scientists within and beyond the lab. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

I'll be giving a talk at the 2025 APS Annual Convention in Washington on the power and limits of AI emotional support, including a story from my glory days as a bellboy (now apparently termed "bellhop"). If you're around and would like to meet, let me know. #APS @PsychScience

Conventional wisdom says interdisciplinary research is valuable but harder to get through peer review (need to please diverse reviewers, etc). In new @PNASNews paper, @SidneyXiang @DanielMRomero and I partnered with @IOPPublishing to test this wisdom and add nuance (1/3)

What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world's collective conscience. History will never forget how our government was complicit in enabling and sustaining this ongoing humanitarian disaster. We must end funding for the Netanyahu war machine.

Why is almost nobody in Washington talking about the horrific humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza? That's what I am talking about LIVE on the Senate floor.
