Follow your passion. March to your own drummer. Land your dream job. We hear this kind of advice all the time. But what happens when the dream job doesn't bring us the satisfaction we imagine? This week, as we continue our You 2.0 series, behavioral scientist @jonj looks at how to keep our passions alive. hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-…

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 In my new paper out now in JPSP (w/@brianjlucas & @jonj), we show across 10 studies (including w/nurses, teachers, & PhD students) that people considering giving up a passion pursuit overestimate how harshly others will judge them 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/pspa0000455

Excited to share new research published @ASR_Journal with @mabelabraham and @tristanbotelho. We explore how experiencing misrecognition—getting less or more recognition than deserved—influences how people subsequently evaluate others. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Is "virtue signaling" fueling a culture of outrage that destroys our sensitivity to nuance & drives us to harshly punish alleged wrongdoers, even if we’re not sure they deserve it? Paper w/@NourKteily, just accepted @ JPSP, explores these questions! osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/97… 🧵👇

A while ago, a colleague said, "You are the collective emotion guy," and initially, I was uneasy with this title, as it felt a bit limiting. Later, at home, I reflected on my response. I’ve been consumed by the topic for a decade, so I guess I am that guy. Check out the episode.
Happiness. Sadness. Guilt. Anger. Fear. So often when we think about emotions, we think about how we experience them as individuals. But what happens when we experience them with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of other people? This week, we kick off a new series called Emotions 2.0. In our first episode, @Amit_Goldenb looks at how group dynamics shape – and sometimes distort – how we feel. hiddenbrain.org/podcast/emot…

Do a PhD in a field you are passionate about and you’ll never work a day in your life, because there are no jobs.
