Hi there social psychologists- excited to pop in on SPSP for a workshop in the use of AI in social science tomorrow morning with @mjcrockett.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social & Alexis Palmer.
Ping me if you want to say hi!
Interested in why moral conflict is so common on social media?
Join us at #SPSP 2026 for our symposium. We’ll present new findings on how platforms shape digital discourse and explore pathways toward healthier online environments
🗓 Saturday, the 28th | 9:30–10:40 AM
📍 Room E270, Level 2
Since last year, the US has publicized a visa policy that targets & threatens people who study & report on online harms.
Yesterday @knightcolumbia.org & @protectdemocracy.org filed a lawsuit challenging this censorship policy on behalf of @thecoalition.bsky.social knightcolumbia.org/content/tech...
🚨NEW DISINFO PAPER🚨 TLDR; disinformation circulates as narratives, not false facts. This paper took five years (!!!) and a rotating cast of collaborators and GRAs. Our case studies include the pee tape, and we have an entire appendix justifying that. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
🚀Introducing 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄-𝐋𝐋𝐌: A reporting checklist for using LLMs in behavioral & social science
✅GUIDE-LLM is a reporting checklist designed by 80+ experts to improve transparency, reproducibility & ethical accountability of LLM-based research

✨New paper out @nature.com ✨ For 8 weeks around the 2024 US election, we randomly assigned 2,000 people to use social media algos we built ourselves. Do engagement-based algorithms amplify intergroup, moral & emotional (IME) content—and does that distort how we see political norms? 🧵🔗 👇
1/ New @Nature! We study how powerful institutions shape the information environment for LLMs. Commercial LLM training is opaque, so we trace a path from state-coordinated media -> training data -> model responses.
