We often have to judge who is knowledgeable—precisely when we are not. Can humans really do that? Our new paper in Psychological Science shows that, surprisingly, we can. drive.google.com/file/d/1b15E...

Ok, time for a short thread about this paper. My sense over the past six months or so is that chain-of-thought prompting as used in e.g. ChatGPT o.3 improves substantially upon previous systems such as ChatGPT 4.o, at least for certain tasks. But how revolutionary is it?

Are people more likely to consider a statement a lie if the stakes (or the moral consequences) are higher? Research by Shurakov & Wiegmann suggests this influence is, at most, small, and the folk concept of what is/isn’t a lie is robust: buff.ly/Y4CDrLH

We’re back to the “hundreds of psychological studies cannot all be wrong, educate yourself”-stage of discourse. I recommend that onlookers to this discourse pick some of the cited studies & see how compelling they find them, wrt causal identification & strength of statistical evidence.>

Now out @ Journal of Research in Personality (free until June): authors.elsevier.com/a/1k%7EqWL4L... We found evidence that trait empathy correlates with purposivism in rule violation judgments. Also: most people share a single concept that seems to have a dual character structure.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic.

“We argue that high-quality collective outcomes are endangered not only by self-interested individual defectors, but by ‘cartels’ of mutually satisfied mediocrities.” 👀 I’ve often referred to Gambetta’s book in the context of academic dysfunction. Very excited to discover more relevant work!

“Reasonableness” is widely seen as a very context-dependent term. A new study does reveal inter-country discrepancy about specifics, yet also finds it is well predicted by a blend of descriptive/prescriptive norms across contexts, languages and cultures: /1 buff.ly/meYMi7d

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

SO love this post from @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social! Real-world effects are awesome when you can get them, but psychologists run experiments in controlled environments "for the same reason that chemists keep their test tubes clean". YES!
