Can emotion regulation interventions spread from treated to non-treated people in a group?
We examine this question in a paper published in @NatureComms, led by @Michael_Pinus & @Yajun_Cao.

- Why do academics love the word "indeed" so much???
- The beauty of long term effects. Reducing Facebook notifications led to less frequent use immediately after the experiment, but to more frequent use after a year.
- One of the biggest challenges to labs that use a lot of code AND try to promote #OpenScience is how to organize and manage lab-wide code. In the past year my lab and I have worked on designing infrastructure to solve some of the main issues and survived to tell. 🧵1
- I spent almost a decade (!) thinking about how emotions spread and amplify between people and groups. My lab and I recently started to work on a few complimentary projects: how collective emotions can be regulated. Here is a first chapter in this domain. osf.io/tzsy4
- Harvard requires visiting graduate students to show a proof they have $50k in their bank account before applying for their visa. This can't be their parents money (which is already crazy) but an account under their name.
- What drives political segregation? Previous work points to homophily - our tendency to affiliate with similar others. In a new paper @NatureHumBehav we argue that given equal distance, people also prefer to affiliate with others who are more extreme.🧵 1/4 rdcu.be/cZ7Tr
- Emotions are rarely communicated by a single expression. In a new paper @NatureHumBehav we ask: How do we aggregate emotional expressions over time? We show that memory of stronger expressions leads people to overweigh these expressions and overestimate emotional sequences.Goldenberg et al. show that we tend to overestimate the average intensity of a sequence of emotional expressions, due to better memory for stronger expressions. @Amit_Goldenb @JonasP_Schoene #emotions buff.ly/3bjPjqk
- First single-authored paper out now in Perspectives! Everything you need to know about what makes groups emotional. Turns out that group emotionality is a complicated interplay between emotional interactions, perceptual processes, and social infrastructure.
- We often feel sad, angry or anxious without knowing why. In this exciting paper - led by Yael Millgram, David Bailey & @mk_nock - we examined what are the consequences of lack of information about the source of our emotions to emotion regulation.🧵1 psyarxiv.com/p2bmq/
- Its hard to read personal statements of low SES students and see what they have to overcome to even apply to graduate school. It also emphasizes my feeling that if I was born in the US, there is a 0% change I would have been where I am today. Sad reality in this country.
- This was a special week. The *first* two papers written by students I work with were published. Two years in and papers are starting to bloom, a new small lab community is emerging, a true pleasure and pride.
- NEW PAPER led by 👑 @LafolletteKyle👑 is the most ambitious project I’ve been part of! We used equation detection algorithms to improve comp models of learning and found a simple novel model that was better at predicting 8 of 9 datasets! Read story👇👇 psyarxiv.com/65jqh
- Every time I review a paper, I spend at least 10 minutes thinking about the right way to end this free labor exploitation that we are stuck with. Clearly collective action/ boycott is the right way to go, but how can we do this without hurting people who start their careers?
