Stereotype threat: a once-dominant idea in social psychology that shaped how we think about identity and performance. But what happens when the evidence crumbles? A deep dive into the failed replications, the myths, and what it all means. Read my latest essay: open.substack.com/pub/michaeli...

Never again: Lessons of genocide in survivor testimonies from the Holocaust, Nanjing massacre and Rwandan genocide
In the aftermath of traumatic events, individuals and groups seek to make sense of these experiences. ‘Never again’ is often considered the primary lesson of genocide. Yet, people may understand this....

So excited to share our new paper! We wondered whether misalignment between how youth think they are capable of acting (social, emotional, behavioral skills) and how they typically act (personality traits) matters for life outcomes. If you’re curious too, check out the preprint!

A paper with an important message in a clear title: "'Asian' Is a Problematic Category in Research and Practice" Categorizing Asians as a monolithic group in the US misses important - and under-research in psych - variation among Asian subgroups journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #psyscisky
Abstract that reads, This article spotlights a widespread problem in research and practice: Asians are commonly categorized as a monolithic group in the United States. Regarding research, my 24-year archival analysis of Psychological Science shows that most U.S. studies did not specify which Asian subgroup(s) were examined. Regarding practice, my analysis of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) webpages and latest diversity reports of S&P 100 companies finds that none of them differentiated between Asian subgroups. Such use of the generic category “Asian” is problematic because it masks important differences among Asian subgroups: (a) Of all ethnic groups in the United States, socioeconomic inequality among Asian subgroups is the highest and fastest growing; (b) U.S. studies show that East Asians (e.g., ethnic Chinese)—but not South Asians (e.g., ethnic Indians)—experience a “bamboo ceiling” in consequential contexts, including leadership attainment, academic performance in law and business schools, and starting salaries. Thus, lumping Asians together can obscure the challenges faced by certain Asian subgroups and jeopardize the attention and resources they need. More broadly, this article demonstrates the importance of differentiating between ethnic subgroups in research (e.g., theorization, surveys, and data analysis) and practice (e.g., diversity reports) to foster DEI.

Here's the keynote from the MPRG/Consortium on Moral Decision-Making conference that I hosted last month. Taya Cohen discussed guilt proneness and use of AI. A nice segue from our AI-empathy conference this April and insightful questions from the group @ssripennstate.bsky.social bit.ly/3Vr6BpE

The question I've got asked most frequently at conferences when I was presenting something on the perception of life events was whether there are any age differences. Using data from the SOEP-IS, we addressed this simple but interessting question. Open-access link: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

To better understand the effects of life events, research interest recently turned to the question of how life events are perceived (e.g., as positive, predictable, or controllable). However, research...

📊New study published in Emotion sheds light on affect dynamics in depression. Analysis of 842 adults over 56 days shows negative affect becomes more 'sticky' rather than unstable. This suggests emotional predictability, not instability, may be key. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Scholars like @mjcrockett.bsky.social have raised cautions about the role of tech in providing empathy. But there’s another way it can harm here. As Jessica Grose notes, just using tech as part of the job by those who do “connective labor” limits their effectiveness www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/o...

We’re increasingly becoming a society where very wealthy people get human care, like concierge medicine and private schools with tiny class sizes.

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.
