One month to go before applications due for the 2025 @easpinfo Summer School that we're organising and hosting in Canterbury at the University of Kent.
I am so excited to bring students to this corner of the world I grew up in and love so much 🙏❤️
📚 It's finally out!! Thrilled to have contributed a chapter on Social Influence (with @j_vdvyver) to this fantastic new textbook led by Stefania Paolini, @rhiannon_turner, Milica Vasiljevic and @ProfRichCrisp.

Super excited to see this great collaboration paper lead by @kenntemich and @ChrBuettner in print! Two studies with Twitter/Reddit data show that people post faster following an unpopular post, possible indicating a need for acknowledgement following exclusion on social media
The right to vote is an important part of a democracy, but not everyone uses it. @bogatyreva_nat has investigated how social exclusion impacts voting behavior.

👏 Congratulations to our very own
@FannyLalot for a fantastic inaugural lecture! Fanny continues her work on trust, betrayal, and all that jazz 🎶 #trustresearch
🙏Last week I had the great honour to give my inaugural lecture at the @UniBasel_en to officially celebrate my title of PD / Dr. Habil. Very grateful to all my colleagues @SocPsychBasel, my family & my students for attending the talk and more generally for the ongoing support!
Social psychology colleagues... do consider applying for one of these roles. I chaired the scientific committee for the ill-fated 2020 general meeting and found it to be a very rewarding role. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
🗳 Voter turnout is lower amongst people who feel more ostracised. #Vote
Very important and timely findings by @bogatyreva_nat and colleagues at @SocPsychBasel! More ⬇️
📰 #NewPaperAlert! Natalia @bogatyreva_nat just published the first paper from her @snsf_ch funded PhD project. It made a long way as a registered report from abstract to full paper in the @Journal_PoPs. Congrats! 🙌
My first PhD paper is out! With @EAlbath and @R_Greifeneder, we checked how the frequency of ostracism affects voting behavior in national elections across 11 European countries.

We are delighted to announce that the 2025 EASP Summer School will take place from 20th - 30th July at the University of Kent, UK. More information to follow! https://t.co/O7UsjUMIS4
What does it mean to be betrayed and how does this affect our trust? In her TEDxBasel talk, @FannyLalot discusses these questions from a social-psychological perspective, highlighting the dangers of a generalized loss of trust. https://t.co/2fqdoxORrw
🎓 We're so very proud of @ChrBuettner who defended her PhD a little more than a month ago! Also very happy that Christiane is staying with us a little while longer as a PostDoc. Congratulations again, Dr Büttner! 🎊🎊🎊
I am very excited to share that I successfully defended my PhD in late August!🎉🎓
Immense gratitude to my supervisors @R_Greifeneder & @SelmaRudert, chair Ulf Hahnel, my colleagues & RAs @SocPsychBasel, my co-authors, and my friends & family for their many years of support

#MeetTheTeam! @reservoir_reine Natalia Bogatyreva joined the team in December 2022 to work on a large survey data concerning the frequency of ostracism in Europe. Besides that, she likes to study conspiracy beliefs and get confused with Bayesian analysis.

👋 We've gained quite a few followers these past weeks so we'll take the chance to introduce our team & work again! You can find all of us in this thread and we'll also feature each team member in turn over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
Starting with our lab head @R_Greifeneder
#MeetTheTeam! Rainer Greifeneder has been around since Sept 2012. He loves designing experiments and thinking about new + old puzzles to solve. His main research interests center around fluency and social exclusion

#MeetTheTeam Proud to introduce @Melissa_Jauch today! Melissa joined us as a PhD student in 2019 and graduated in 2023. She's now a PostDoc in the lab, continuing her research on motivated cognition, ideology and political polarization. See more here 👇
This paper also has a history! At first submission a (very clever but mean) Reviewer 2 quoted us Zuckermann: "personality traits and scales proliferate like rabbits" (aka we don't need your scale)...
Paper was thereafter nicknamed The Rabbit. With now a commemorative plate 🐰🧡
