Very excited to share our new paper "Is Your Accent Right for the Job? A Meta-Analysis on Accent Bias in Hiring Decisions". Out now in #PSPB! Check it out here: https://t.co/ZxGmPjBWU3

[Society for Personality and Social Psychology @SPSPnews]

New #PSPB research explores how job candidates with different accents are perceived by those making hiring decisions, suggesting that accent bias can be associated with perceptions of the candidates' social status.

📣CALL FOR DATA: NEED & GIVING

Do you have data (published or not) with measures of both neediness/perceptions of need & charitable giving?

We're doing a meta-analysis & suspect we've missed studies. Reply with link to published articles or DM me to share unpublished. Thanks!

THREAD: Is trust a prerequisite for charitable giving?

To answer this Q, we (w Matt Hornsey & @DrNGillespie) conducted a meta-analysis of research on trust & giving btwn 1988 and 2020.

The short answer: trust matters, but it depends...

Thanks @bethbylines for the fantastic write up in @AcademicTimes about our new meta-analysis!

We found that children across a range of different linguistic backgrounds prefer those who speak in the same accent, dialect and language as themselves.
