Daniel Pink and I had an opportunity to discuss “Functions of Human Regret” on NPR-LA (89.3 FM Pasadena). Most notable was how the live callers expressed how they were able to use their regrets as catalysts for future change. Link: open.spotify.com/episode/6YeIWx…

A common view in behavioral science is that people cannot introspect directly on the mental processes underlying their choices. Here, in a new preprint, we provide evidence that they can. osf.io/preprints/psya… Work with @carlsonr_ , @hedykober, and @mollycrockett (1/8)

Analytic thinking is related to lower belief in conspiracies. So can analytic thinking decrease belief in conspiracy theories? We don’t really know, as the one set of studies in support of this does not seem to replicate. With @petrovicbm & @v_gligoric doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp…

New paper with @TaniaLombrozo! Why do people only wonder “why?” about certain observations? Why do people only find certain explanations satisfying? We propose the “picky with a purpose” hypothesis. Thread below, paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

First paper with my awesome postdoc advisor @lkfazio using person-centered approaches to understand conspiracy theorists! Takeaway: conspiracy theorists appear to be motivated by intuition and rationality but lack truth discernment abilities routledgeopenresearch.org/articles/2-29

We often blame people for the beliefs they hold. Does this mean we think people can choose their beliefs, like they can choose their actions? We find children and adults generally think we can select our beliefs, but think we are restricted by evidence and morality. Out now!
