Worst car rental experience ever! We rented a car, just 20 min later it warned that the oil service was overdue. We contacted the company - the next day(the day we had planned our trip) - they told not to use the car. Thennothing! No response at all! No respond our calls! @Avis

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of meeting Faruk Yalçın, a third-year PhD student from Penn State University. He shared insights from the work conducted at the Empathy and Moral Psychology Lab. It was a very productive and enjoyable meeting.

++ Also, witnessing close others’ transgressions is psychologically complex—people feel both like a victim and a transgressor, experiencing self-blame and other-blame emotions at the same time.

Do people favor close others even when they commit serious moral transgressions?
We question what “favor” really means? Our paper shows that people navigate relational punishment for close others and institutional punishment for distant others. ++

If democracy is a conversation, then what happened when the conversation moved onto social media platforms designed to maximize "engagement"?

Increased polarization, which is a major threat to liberal democracies.

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

A global study of minimal groups finds discrimination in favor of the in-group in all 20 countries, yielding a large overall effect (OR = 4.58).

The degree of intergroup discrimination was related to higher societal uncertainty https://t.co/kQpvEB3gWQ

Gerçekten bu çok doğru bir tespit ne yazık ki!

Psikoloji raflarındaki kitapların çoğunun psikoloji bilimiyle alakası yok. Kişisel gelişimin kısmen, parapsikolojinin tamamen sahte bilim olmalarına girmiyorum bile. Psikolojiye yönelik itibar suikastı yapıyor kitapçılar resmen.

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

A new PNAS paper finds that polarization increased immediately after the invention of smartphones and the advent of social media, which both appeared around the same year, 2008.

Both profoundly changed the way humans communicate and this rise of connectivity may have fueled polarization. Adding a small number of individuals with extreme opinions (influencers) also drives continuous increases in polarization.

Once polarization occurs as a consequence of increasing connectivity, it can not simply be undone by reversing to previous connectivity levels. This may be why social media removal studies have very modest effects on polarization. https://t.co/bHNR8xtTks
