Check out our new instrument to measure intellectual humility with an inteegroup touch
Intellectual humility means recognizing that you might be wrong, being open to new evidence, and listening to other people’s views—even when they differ from your own. It’s about being curious rather than defensive when challenged. Over the years, psychologists have created…

🔥New paper out: we found evidence of an "offender bias". In two eye-tracking and three behavioral experiments, we examined how third parties respond when observing a perpetrator taking money from a victim. We found several results, including: 1) People direct more visual…
Looks like testosterone doesn't affect economic preferences after all. Another one bites the dust.

Interested in measuring individual differences in altruism/prosocial behavior? @PaigeAmormino has developed a new, brief assessment that (in my view) is much better than self-report measures or existing economic games. It's called The Social Discounting Short-Form (SDT-SF)

Accepted @ExpPsychJournal Research w @StefanczykM challenges assumptions about moral decision-making under fatigue. Study with 303 athletees and firefighters shows moral judgments remain stable despite physical exhaustion. #MoralPsychology #DecisionMaking
New preprint!
🚨 New preprint out! 🚨 How do people make moral judgments as third parties? 👀 We show how two motivations—inequality aversion (fair = moral) ⚖️ and the common-is-moral heuristic (frequent = moral) 👨👩👧👧—interact to shape evaluations 🧵👇 📄 osf.io/preprints/psya…

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):
Let me tell you why I think this might be the most important paper on social preferences of the decade (after Krupka and Weber, 2013). A major question in behavioral economics is: how can we explain people’s behavior through a utility function? This question is challenging,…
