This recent blog post provides a very accurate and useful summary of Bertram and I's recent Nature Reviews Psychology article on the value of self-reports relative to "implicit measures" (as we defined them in the original article):

Self-report measures outperform implicit tools in assessing thoughts and feelings, new psychology paper argues
Self-reports outperform implicit measures, according to a new review, offering greater reliability, predictive validity, and flexibility. The paper challenges beliefs about implicit tools’ robustness,...

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

"40 percent of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity"; "Since tens of thousands of fMRI studies worldwide are based on this assumption, our results could lead to opposite interpretations in many of them.”

Early Christmas present! For the last couple of years, I have been helping to update this textbook for a new edition. I joined a great team that had written the original book, and together we thoroughly revised it and updated it with new research and examples. My copies arrived just the other day!

Demand artifacts threaten both the internal and external validity of research. Often viewed as a "scarecrow" or a "vexing problem," they can discourage researchers from examining them too closely. Yet, our conclusion offers a more optimistic and actionable perspective on these artifacts:
Olivier Corneille @ocorneille.bsky.social · Dec 3
Our review is organized around a recent framework of demand effects proposed by P. Lush and I, which identifies three stages in the production of demand artifacts: hypothesis formation, motivation, and control strategy.

We discuss whether this Truth Beliefs Conditioning effect should be considered an experimental demand artifact, and whether it matters.

This research follows-up on a recent article that examined three outstanding questions raised by instruction-based procedures:

In this new research, we found that truth beliefs can be successfully conditioned:

Statements - true and false - are rated as more true after their pairing with positive than negative pictures.

This effect bridges research on evaluative conditioning and misinformation.

In this research, we found that individuating information dominates social group information when forming impressions about members of newly learned social groups. This dominance was observed both on self-reports *and* more automatic measures *despite* conditions favoring group-level impressions.

🚨 New paper alert, at @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social:

Classic person perception models argue that group information (e.g., group valence) dominates impression formation, especially in less-than-optimal conditions. But is this really the case?

This overturns familiar assumptions of perceivers as “cognitive misers” and calls for rethinking how we conceptualize automatic evaluations.

Even with skin tone as a group marker and explicit instructions to form group-based impressions, people relied more on the actual characteristics of the individual they encountered.

Olivier Corneille @ocorneille.bsky.social · Nov 12
I found the general discussion rather cautious, but this point might be further elaborated on. Another issue is that these manipulations are sometimes totally ineffective (Ps simply don't trust a hypothesis that runs against commonsense) but this does not seem to apply in this case 3/
Olivier Corneille @ocorneille.bsky.social · Nov 12
As a result, demand effects may operate differently in these studies vs. in original procedures where the experimental hypothesis is not directly communicated. The same issue applies when probing demand effects based on instruction-based replication procedures 2/
Olivier Corneille @ocorneille.bsky.social · Nov 12
If I may add a few thoughts, a major issue with this widespread approach to demand effects is that experimenters usually do not tell their Ps about their hypothesis. This communication creates unique demand characteristics that may consequentially depart from the original procedure 1/

Major new paper by finds implicit measures like the IAT are no better than asking people directly about their biases. After decades of avoiding self-reports, turns out our sophisticated replacement tools work no better than what we abandoned. New post!
