@OlgaStoddard Are you sure you want sentiment? There's a lot more to social interaction than positivity. I think politeness features of dialogue might be more useful, as they capture how people treat each other

3️⃣ That impoliteness is consequential. In a follow-up experiment, we used seller responses from these real-world negotiations & found that incivility discouraged future negotiations, illustrating how demand-side biases can lead to supply-side differences in negotiation propensity

Great write-up of our recent management science paper on workplace development. Bottom line - focus on the future, not the past, to give and receive more helpful advice!

It’s always “Hello World”, but never “How are you World?”

Are you guilty of 'Boomerasking'?

A new study from @HarvardHBS and Michael Yeomans [@emyeom] explores "boomerasking" - when someone asks a question just to steer the conversation back to themselves. 🤔 💬

@AgnesCallard Thanks for the shout out! We have a paper on spoken conversations (with similar findings) coming soon. Loved your book talk in London last week btw :)

[Mike Yeomans @emyeom]

@jayvanbavel @NatRevPsych @stfeuerriegel Good review of modern LLM tools, esp focus on validation! To be fair, you cover some, but not all the ways - lots of good work out there using NLP in distinct ways for dialogue data, see e.g. here https://t.co/K77L5q5iQ0

Effective conversations aren’t just ones that leave people feeling connected and happy.

Research by Drs. @JuliaMinson and @emyeom finds moments of conflict can lead to growth, understanding, and stronger relationships: https://t.co/QcwWu6t39j

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.

Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.

Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

[Dan Elton @moreisdifferent]

BREAKING!

@FrancescaGino's ridiculous defamation lawsuit against @DataColada from last year has been dismissed by the court!

This is an important victory.. if this had been allowed to move forward it would have had a chilling effect on whistleblowers!
