Postdoc #socialpsychology @centerconflictcooperation.com @nyu.edu | Prosocial cognition, morality, social identity | #Rstats | #OpenScience | @easystats.github.io 🤘
- Today! I will be giving an in-person talk at the Mind Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, hosted by Dr. Pooja Swami Sahni, PhD!
- We had the honor of hosting Dr. Marie Bragg at our @centerconflictcooperation.com at NYU, led by @jayvanbavel.bsky.social, for a talk on “strategic science”—being intentional about the questions we pursue, how we study them, and how we communicate our findings for social impact.
- {rempsyc} #rstats package v0.2.0 now on CRAN! Last release announcement for this was in July 2024. Since v0.1.8: Improvements to speed, workflow, nice_scatter, nice_lm, nice_lm_slopes, nice_table, and many bug fixes. Let me know if you use my package—it keeps me going! rempsyc.remi-theriault.com

- Can recommend! Reach out if you are interested in how beliefs are formed, the spread of false or misleading information, and social influence processes more generally.
- {report} #rstats package version 0.6.2 is now on CRAN! MANY bug fixes in this version! Including corrected duplicated text outputs and dramatic speed increases for brmsfit models (which used to refit the model entirely every time). easystats.github.io/report/ With the @easystats.github.io team

- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultReally enjoyed talking with @andrew-yang.bsky.social and @jayvanbavel.bsky.social about the science of social media. Thanks for having us on your podcast, @andrew-yang.bsky.social
- Why does online content seem so angry and emotional? Professors @jayvanbavel.bsky.social and @steverathje.bsky.social join andrewyang.com/podcast to talk the science of social media including why polarization gets revved up by a tiny percentage of accounts.

- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultIn a new podcast, I discuss the dangers of rising political polarization, how social media incentives contribute to polarization, and why we should consider polarization a social determinant of health with @ryanlinnbrown.bsky.social You can listen here: www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/political-...
- New PSA paper led by Tom Heyman! We present a tutorial on crowdsourced MULTIVERSE ANALYSES—a transparent way to test how robust findings are across many analytic paths. Experts suggest, then validate possible paths. This helps quantify uncertainty and clarify when/where scientific conclusions hold.

- We revisit the classic Theory of Planned Behavior and highlight how social identity plays a critical role in shaping attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control vis-à-vis a host of health behaviors. Polarization, in particular, can have dramatic consequences on public health.
- Our new paper explains the #polarization of public health Identifying with a social group can shape people’s beliefs and values, leading them to act in ways that have consequences for their health From vaccine hesitancy to smoking cessation, identity plays a critical role: osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Comparing fiction and non-fiction as broad categories might be misleading. Non-fiction isn't a single genre: some books are probably much more powerful than others and might excel at different things. Could some be especially effective at uniting humankind and reducing conflict?
- Can reading a book make you a better person? Reading books is declining. But people who read weekly book excerpts & podcasts instead of meditating had the greatest reductions in aggression and growth in compassionate love, positive attitudes & altruism www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/can-readin...
- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultNew preprint: From vaccinations to masking, politics predicts health behaviors. In this review we discuss these differences in light of classic psychological theories of group identity and behavioral decision-making. We welcome any feedback on this working paper! osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Indeed! What are some of the books that had the greatest impact on you? Feel free to share as comments or private messages! We are interested in hearing your book suggestions

- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultAre #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation? This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change. See our paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...

- Reposted by Rémi Thériaultnext Canadian government should think of boosting research funding up here and trying to grab as many American postdocs and researchers as possible
- I am thrilled to be starting my postdoc with @jayvanbavel.bsky.social and my wonderful colleagues at the newly launched Center for Conflict and Cooperation @centerconflictcoop.bsky.social at NYU @nyu.edu. Together, we will be working at reducing #polarization and its far-reaching consequences.
- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultDefunding the world’s leading scientific community is akin to a performing a prefrontal lobotomy on the nation—you are effectively severing the connections between the most innovative ideas and its citizens.

- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultYou may have heard of Questionable Research Practices and "HARKing" as threats to replicability. In a new paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social, we argue that a similar practices -- Questionable Generalizability Practices and "MASKing" -- undermine generalizability. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
- Reposted by Rémi ThériaultSo excited to see this in print! A manifesto paving the way for responsible generalisation and co-authorship practices in open science - with an incredible team of scholars! Very much inspired by the benchmark Munafò et al. manifesto for reproducible science www.nature.com/articles/s44...
