Interested in the psychology of disruptive behaviour at music events? Well have a read of this. Highlights include me, @lewisdoyle.bsky.social & @sanjeedah.bsky.social throwing ourselves around in mosh pits for science (plus in-depth interviews & a big old survey). dx.doi.org/10.1111/asap...

Preschool-aged kids whose parents are working class are less likely to be called on when they raise their hand compared to kids with middle/upper class occupations. Early socialization indeed. | From @lewisdoyle.bsky.social & @andreicimpian.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych #phdsky

“Whether students played by the rules by raising their hands or broke the rules by calling out, they were less likely to have their participation attempts accepted if they came from a working-class background” doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

New in @pnas.org. Preschool teachers were less likely to accept participation attempts by children from working-class backgrounds, regardless of their perceived language level. With a great team: @andreicimpian.bsky.social @sebastiengoudeau.bsky.social & Louise Goupil. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪 Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆 www.scientificamerican.com/article/cats...

Cats challenge standard biases in evolutionary biology. People have said to me, “What about bats? What about rodents? These groups have so many species doing all kinds of things.” And I'm like, “Yeah, because they suck.” They haven't figured out how to do anything well, so they keep trying different things.

New blogpost looking at the psychology of felt safety at live music events: tinyurl.com/4kcs7x2p. Draws on interview, ethnographic and survey data. With @profjohndrury.bsky.social @hannaeldarwish.bsky.social Danielle Evans, Fiona Green, @sanjeedah.bsky.social and @lewisdoyle.bsky.social.

Side by side images of a crowd at a music festival. The first image shows a small number of people signaling to a medic. The second image shows a larger number of people in the crowd raising their hands to amplify the medic's signal to other medical personnel at the front of the stage.

Two days before learning that “research programs based on gender identity […] do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans” and seeing my NIH grant terminated, I had a paper published on male defaults: [1/2] www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This TICS paper turned out to be unexpectedly timely... We could have called it "Why DEI and Merit Go Hand in Hand" given recent developments... Valuing diversity and excellence/merit aren't opposing forces -- they're complementary.

New paper with an amazing team on the allure of the meritocracy belief. Our intuition tells us that effort brings about success in life (of course it does), but this oversimplification ignores important external factors and threatens to perpetuate inequalities. doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2024.12.008

👋 New paper in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social: "Why the belief in meritocracy is so pervasive" I learned a lot from my co-authors, a fabulous group of experts on meritocratic beliefs 👇 Fun fact: This paper grew out of a 2023 symposium at @easpinfo.bsky.social in Krakow. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Why the belief in meritocracy is so pervasive

People worldwide tend to believe that their societies are more meritocratic than they actually are. We propose the belief in meritocracy is widespread because it is rooted in simple, seemingly obvious...
