🚨New paper alert🚨 A big project during my postdoc with M.J. Crockett is now out in Psych Sci journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…! We study the neurocognitive basis of hypocritical blame, a common form of hypocrisy when people blame others for moral violations they themselves commit. 🧵

At #SPSP2023 Misinfo and belief preconference, I will discuss how the problem of misinformation is really just one symptom of broader problems emerging from algorithm-mediated social learning online. Including some new data across several platforms w/ Killian McLoughlin M.J. Crockett

🚨Out now in Nature Human Behaviour 🚨 Across 4 experiments (n = 3,364), we found that motivating people to be accurate via a small financial incentive: -Improved people’s discernment between true and false news -Reduced the partisan divide in belief nature.com/articles/s4156…
