New JPSP registered report + coordinated data analysis led by Tiko Yoneda: identical models across 11 aging cohorts (N=175,070; 18 countries). Loneliness—not simply social isolation—was more robustly associated with cognitive impairment and mortality risk psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-...

In #ESM / #EMA, how you ask “How do you feel right now?” shapes your data. Sliders 🎚️, smileys 🙂, drawing trajectories 📈, or emotion wheels 🎡: they all capture something different. We break down 5 approaches (and their trade-offs) in a new #m-path blog: m-path.io/blog/high-fi...

Your social connections can influence critical health outcomes. Research from @anthonyong.bsky.social & Frank Mann finds that cumulative social advantage is correlated with better health and lower mortality risk across demographic groups. Read the Editor’s Choice article: bit.ly/4bVVyxy

Asian people and Black people can both face dehumanization in the US, but the type differs: Asian = machine, Black = animal osf.io/preprints/ps... psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-... #prejudice #socpsych #polpsych #psyscisky
Abstract that reads How different racial minorities experience racism differently remains underexplored in existing research. Here, we show that Asian and Black people are often dehumanized differently. Twelve studies spotlight a racial asymmetry in dehumanization using a wide array of methods (experimental, archival, and computational) and data sources (online samples, word embeddings, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data): Whereas Black people are more often subjected to animalistic dehumanization, Asian people are predominantly subjected to mechanistic dehumanization. We demonstrate this asymmetry from the vantage point of victims (Studies 1a and 1b) and perpetrators (Studies 2a–2d). We further document the prevalence of this asymmetry across diverse domains, from everyday language (Study 3) to perceptions in the realms of romantic relationships (Study 4a), crime rates (Study 4b), and business skills (Study 4c). Finally, we demonstrate the asymmetry’s real-world consequences in labor market segregation (Studies 5 and 6). Our findings shed light on the distinct experiences of racism encountered by different racial groups and, more critically, introduce a framework that unifies and integrates scattered empirical observations on perceptions of Asian people.

We look upon the present as something to be put up with while it lasts, and serving only as the way towards our goal. Hence most people, if they glance back when they come to the end of life, will find that all along they have been living ad interim. - Schopenhauer
