Happy SESP eve for those who celebrate! If you are at the conference, come by our session on institutional interactions! @cydneydupree.bsky.social , Nao Hagiwara, Greg Walton, and I will share what interactions can tell us about people and their institutional contexts (🚔🎓🏥).

This year's donation to the @umichlibrary.bsky.social Computer & Video Game Archive: the Game Boy Printer. Took it for one last spin to print pictures of Buddy the cat (1985-2004) and Eddie the postdachsund (201X-2026), and me (1998) and Julian (2026).

Instead, officers often request consent indirectly. To say "no" to "Do you mind if I check?", you say "yes". These implicit consent requests are more common in consent searches of Black and Hispanic civilians (5/6)

These models can sort properly documented stops from non-stops with 90% accuracy. They are 70%+ accurate in IDing under-documented stops. Model-assisted auditing could uncover 50% of undocumented stops ID'd by the monitor by looking at the top 25% "stop-like" recordings logged as non-stops. (3/6)

New work led by @whatsinertia.bsky.social, combining fear conditioning and perceptual deindividuation. Conditioned threats spread to more dissimilar Black vs. White targets- findings of interest for soc cognition as well as eyewitness identificatoin. Check it out!

NOT going to Chicago for #spsp2026? Join us at the Trust and Cooperation Preconference for some work on representations of police and space, and why neighborhoods lowest in trust are seen as deserving less trustworthy officers.

Bolu Dogari, Junior Professional Researcher @rcgd-isr.bsky.social alum, will share how standard preprocessing in EDA/physio studies lead to disparate exclusion of Black people, and what recruitment/QC can do about it- at both Critical Perspectives precon and main #spsp2025 conf!

We should make police interactions more respectful. However, enforcement is an investigatory tool, it undermines these goals. Interactions can’t build trust if they start with a lie. As traffic stops become the vehicle for investigation and immigration enforcement, the costs will be severe. (7/7)

Because they entail so much choice, however, police departments can rein in discretionary stops. We found one directive in which merely advised officers to curtail equipment stops reduced racial gaps in stop rates, by bringing down the high number of equipment stops of Black drivers (6/7)

This context means different things to Black and White drivers. We asked DMV customers to listen to recordings of equipment + moving stops and report their trust in the officer. White participants were generally trusting, but Black customers were skeptical of officers in high-discretion stops. (5/7)

Looking across a range of agencies, we find that stops of Black drivers are much more likely to be for minor offenses relative to Whites, particularly in urban police departments. Statewide agencies, focus on enforcement rather than investigation, show no disparities in discretionary context (4/7)

Thanks @jimmycalanchini.bsky.social and @maddblackprof.bsky.social for organizing the special issue of Social Cognition, which is a must-read. Also thanks to my in-laws for walking my dog Eddie, also visible on Street View

Some have used screenshots as stimuli. Using the developer tools, you can automate this process. We walk you through how to sample points and pull streetscapes. You can pick random points on a map, or partition space into neighborhoods, census tracts, or other regions.

New from @ara-eunkyung.bsky.social + me: social psychologists are often interested in space, but have to choose between abstractions at high levels of geography or images taken with limited geographic scope. We identify a tool to sample space at scale: mapping platforms, such as Google Street View.

Going to #spsp2025? Interested in what psychology can tell us about what works (or doesn't) to change policing? Join me @andreadittmann.bsky.social @calvinklai.bsky.social @spruill.bsky.social & Kyle Dobson very early next Saturday to find out.

We also need to ask how footage is governed, analyzed and used. Agencies may use language as a shallow metric, opening the door to their manipulation. Analysts may use opaque models to capture social impressions of speech. And platforms may operate as gatekeepers rather than facilitators. (4/5)
