The greatest trick Communication ever pulled was convincing the world it doesn't exist.

If only a discipline existed which has been studying social media since it was computer mediated communication.

C) OK, so social media may be damaging Gen Z, but what is the evidence that it is damaging democratic institutions and norms?

This is a new doc, just launched. Preponderance of evidence points to harm. With @chris_bail:

This is a perfect @RIP_Comm paper. We hope it is also @RIP_FoxNews

Why is there no science on something that the entire discipline of communication has studied for the last 70 years?

[RIP_Communication @RIP_Comm]

Seems like it'd be relevant for a field that studies interventions?

[Bastian Jaeger @bxjaeger]

Massive review of interventions designed to increase donations w/ somber conclusions:
- most effect sizes are small (mean r = .08)
- some evidence for publication bias
- there are "compelling reasons to doubt generalisability" beyond the lab

If only I'd known the work everyone said was in communication was actually in marketing and personality psychology.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Its like a Buzzfeed quiz, but with real science: two papers show the movies and books you like can be used to accurately predict Big 5 personality traits. Take a look at the lists! (& some examples in the thread)

Psychology says, jealousy often comes in jokes. Pay attention.

Remarkable work

A new study in Nature proposes and characterizes a speech planning brain network active during social interaction https://t.co/nrd2LQ62Qm

Our new manuscript on why people are drawn to sad music

Given that sad music often makes you feel bad, why are you so drawn to listening to it?

Waiting for the call like ...

[Dr. Rachel Vanderbilt @rrvanderbilt]

On @NPRNewsNow this morning, the NIH is surprised how their public messaging around the vaccines may contribute to vaccine hesitancy, and believes they should NOW invest in communication/behavioral research to understand why as a special initiative …two years into the pandemic.

"...our findings have implications for the design of online platforms, understanding the social contexts of online behaviour, and quantifying the dynamics and mechanisms of online polarization."

[Ashton Anderson @ashton1anderson]

Thrilled to share our paper, out today in @nature, which proposes a new paradigm for the analysis of online platforms and applies it to study political polarization over the complete history of Reddit

“Nonverbal interactions represent a huge part of human communication" (which you might think would get studied in the field bearing that name, but nope!)

[Andrew Piper @_akpiper]

excited to announce our new paper on "Detecting Narrativity Across Long Time Scales" which will appear in the #CHR2021 proceedings. We'll be presenting it on Friday at 8 am EST. Here is the tldr + brief thread. https://t.co/91oZRzH1V7

Conversational analysis over video conferencing? Sounds like a communication study... oh wait.

[Jaimie Arona Krems @JaimieKrems]

Thing you probably knew about Zoom being hard gets empirical support!

Cool new paper in JEP:G zeroes in on how Zoom disrupts the turn-taking fundamental to conversation...

(likely via transmission delays➡️neural oscillators helping us time turn-taking)

Why do people respond to media the way they do? If you ask @brianstelter, "the answers lie, not in political analysis, but in psychology. We need to be booking more psychologists on television!"

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Yesterday I was on @CNN @ReliableSources discussing how a person's identity and information universe both shape beliefs with @brianstelter

We discussed shared reality, conspiracy theories, & cult psychology.

Most studies we post are findings that should have, could have, originated in the communication discipline, but maybe we should all just cut it out entirely? https://t.co/YxYQ3aTz6N
