I could not be prouder of my Dad, David Adler (not on Bluesky), who just hit a major milestone: 50 years at Tufts Medical Center! This is a very sweet tribute to his career there. www.linkedin.com/pulse/50-yea...

The end of my term as Editor of Personality and Social Psychology Review is profoundly bittersweet. While it is a relief not to oversee the day-to-day influx of manuscripts, I will greatly miss the opportunity to work with this stellar team on a journal I am so proud of. doi.org/10.1177/1088...

(In a delightful twist, my new segment got stitched together with a rebroadcast of an older episode featuring the incomparable @elijfinkel.bsky.social, one of my grad school professors, whose work on marriage is captivating. I couldn’t ask for a better Hidden Brain buddy!)

I was absolutely delighted to revisit the @hiddenbrain.bsky.social team for a follow-up to my original episode. These follow-ups are called “Your Questions Answered.” (My segment starts at 55:20) Here’s the link: www.hiddenbrain.org/podcast/reim...

There are signs it's getting even harder. In this episode, we explore how long-term relationships have changed over time and whether we might be able to improve marriage by asking less of it.

I couldn't be more excited to see "Kufre n Quay" later this month. Levi Mngomezulu, who is playing Kufre, has been one of our son's best friends since first grade and I have watched his theatrical growth over those years. I'm sure he will absolutely shine. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/a...

It doesn’t need to be an extreme story, just an everyday experience of feeling stuck in a story other people were telling about people like you. Thanks! (Here's the brilliant original TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie introducing that concept: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ih...)

For my book I’m looking to interview people who have an experience of “the danger of a single story.” Have you had an experience where you felt reduced to one storyline, maybe some category (race, gender, sexuality, etc.), or some other thing that seemed to trump everything else about you?

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Books take a really long time to come into the world, so look for this one in February 2027. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to talking with YOU to shape this book about identity!

And, while I have missed @olincollege.bsky.social, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to my community of Fellows in the Newhouse Center at @wellesley.edu this year, who have been the most dreamy colleagues to work alongside on this project.

I’ll be working with the amazing Executive Editor, Anna Paustenbach. And none of this would have been possible without my stellar agent at #UTA, the Co-Head of Publishing, Christy Fletcher.

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

I couldn’t be happier to have landed at PRH Avery. Their slogan is “We publish nonfiction that doesn’t just change the conversation, it changes lives.” And that’s precisely what I hope the book will do.

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Tentatively titled “Identity Theft: Who We Are & Who We Might Become,” the book will use compelling stories of what I’m calling “identity theft” (when you lose narrative authority over your life) to illustrate the science of narrative identity & to push our thinking about identity in today’s world.

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

As many of you know, I’ve spent this sabbatical year working on a book project. I’m thrilled to announce that, as of yesterday, I officially have a contract with @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social’s @avery-books.bsky.social imprint to publish the book!

As a personality psychologist and a theater kid, I can tell you the reference is not to Mischel, but to Shakespeare. In Twelfth Night, Malvolio says “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

And is it “comprised of,” “comprised by,” “comprising,” “composed of,” or “composing”??

I really hope that this approach to rebooting the journal will lead to something equally great, while inserting a structural intervention into the dominant ways that journals operate in our field. Please tell folks with innovative perspectives to apply!

020

Jonathan Adler @jadler.bsky.social · 24/04/2024

Speaking only for myself (with ZERO insight into the inner workings of APS), but as someone on the committee, this seemed like an opportunity for a structural intervention into the field, to potentially experiment with alternative journal processes than we see everywhere. No idea how it’ll pan out!
