A person DM'd me to say I must care more about science than students (because I shared the trigger warning meta-analysis that shows TWs don't help). Let me fix that for you: I care more about science than I do about FALSELY APPEARING to care about students. Sheesh.

“Because it feels fun” is not an alternative to an evolutionary explanation! Sex can feel fun. Making friends can feel fun. Winning status can feel fun. Better question: Why do some activities feel fun (or generate behavior consistent w those feelings)? ⁦ @TheAtlantic ⁩

Incredibly honored to be named a rising star. HBES was my first conference and it has always been my home. Many years later, it is deeply meaningful to me to be recognized by this society

So data consistently disprove the Freudian catharsis explanation for why people vent. Venting doesn’t make us less angry. If you’re curious why we might vent to each other—and why it feels so good—tune into my talk at #HBES2022 today at 4pm eastern.

California parking signs are like reading the 3rd R&R of a manuscript in track changes—and with new footnotes. But, like, the first author never integrated the comments into a single coherent sentence. It’s just all comments added on the side.

Are there sex/gender differences in how people respond to compliments? In new work by Carin Perilloux + @jaimemcloud : Women (v men) respond more modesty to compliments from same-sex peers, + are sensitive to the relative status of that complimenter.

New work: How do people end friendships?! A(n admittedly) small sample of Greek-speaking adults generated 43 acts of termination, classified into seven sub-strategies. Most preferred the gradual fade out, but people also ghosted... A few small sex/gender differences, too...

@MARspidermonkey Yeah. Two things: (1) Student tears are student tears. We shouldn't relish ANY of them. (2) My grad students are all women, 6 of 7 in OCEAN are BIPOC, most are LGBTQ+. These are the people you're positively relishing cruelty toward?

Venting doesn’t decrease our anger. So what does venting do for venters? I’ll be talking about venting as a form of social competition (e.g., to get our friends to like us better than they like their/our other mutual friends) today @SESPcon !
