What a privilege to host the 2024 KSL Series for UNCG Psych. Heard inspiring talks from Paula Niedenthal, Kerry Kawakami, Alex Todorov, and Kerri Johnson. One of my students said he was excited to be a part of creating this science. After some needed rest, back to the lab I go!

A very successful 1st Diversity Club Research Showcase at UNCG Psych! Thank you to all the student and faculty speakers! Proud president tears over here 🥹❤️

So proud of my sister Brittany Liebenow for not only getting her PhD, but doing it in style !! Winning the Gordon A. Melson Outstanding Doctoral Student Award !! 🥹❤️

How to get shit done (from a CBT therapist): 🧵 1. The hardest part is usually just getting started. Don’t wait to feel motivated; you could be waiting for a long time. Start by doing a little; momentum usually follows. If it doesn’t kick in, at least you got some done.

A lot of women say the “my professional identity” reasoning, and that is perfectly fine. But let’s also normalize women just *wanting* to preserve their last name. It’s ours to have and ours to change.

lol who did this

I swear I'm really going to read that article believe me

And even more new science to read this spring!! 🌺🪻🌸📖Society for Personality and Social Psychology EASP SPSSI (spssi.bsky.social) Association for Psychological Science 2/2

Belated post, but I successfully defended my dissertation!! 🎉🎊🙌🏼 Meant the world to have my dad, sister, and best friends there when I became Dr. Hayley Liebenow 🥹 On to the next adventure! ❤️

Election 2024 is certainly something. In Fall 2020, one focus of my lab (shoutout to Hayley Liebenow, PhD. and Katie Boucher) was to examine how partisans think about Kamala Harris. We published two papers examining how Harris's communality/femininity affected support for her.

In a 2021 paper, we showed that having more feminine representations of Harris's face related to more favorable evaluations of her. These representations partially accounted for liberals' favoritism. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

In a 2022 Psych of Women Qtly paper, we showed perceived communality to positively contribute to favor toward Harris across partisans. BUT, when Harris was placed in a communal context, that context was all liberals needed to favor her. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Co-partisan support may be strongest when Harris is seen in gender stereotype consistent contexts. I've been thinking of these papers every time I see someone comment on Harris's smile or laugh.

SoCogLab research making waves! Check out work from Hayley Liebenow, PhD., Katie Boucher, and me in the The New York Times today! nytimes.com/2024/10/04/opi…

Surreal!!

In New York Times Opinion It’s no surprise to see voters and pundits commenting on Kamala Harris’s “power moves” and ”boss energy,” Alison Fragale and Adam Grant write. “What’s remarkable is that they mean it as a compliment.” nyti.ms/3Ya58G0

No Laughing Matter: Men Are Expected to be Funnier Than Women 🎭 Do people really believe that “women aren’t funny”? We found that people expect men to be funnier and more likely to make a joke in both casual and professional settings. Excited to continue this work! #SPSP2025

‼️ Latest paper out today in SPP Compass! 🧭 We propose a person perception perspective to better understand the mechanisms underlying anti-transgender bias. Discrimination against transgender folks may stem from conceptual & perceptual disfluency when processing their gender.
