Out now in Scientific Reports! Despite high correlations, ChatGPT models failed to replicate human moral judgments. We propose tests beyond correlation to compare LLM data and human data.

Excited to present our project “Character Profiles: Broadening Theoretical Conceptualizations of Character Schemas” at #NCA2025!

This work examines character and person perception processes of distinct character types (e.g., pirates, cowboys, mad scientists).

Thurs Nov 20 - 2:30PM - Maple 05
A presentation title slide with the heading “Character Profiles: Broadening Theoretical Conceptualizations of Character Schemas” in large red text. Below, in black text, it reads “Matthew Grizzard, Scarlet and Gray Associate Professor.” Two columns list collaborators: Lucy Brown, Rebecca Frazer (with a small University of Florida UF logo), Charles K. Monge (with a small Texas Tech University double-T logo), and Sebastian Lubert on the left; Violet Musser, Samantha Flanagan, and C. Joseph Francemone on the right. At the bottom left is The Ohio State University logo with the university name.

This appears to be the greatest failure in all of journalism.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Me when reviewers tell me my findings were obvious and didn't need to be empirically tested.

A cool article applying my favorite theory (ADT) to explain how norms expressed in online comments can alter moral judgment processes of unjustified violence.

Research indicates that people's responses to violence—and the way media portrays said violence—are influenced by intuitive moral judgments shaped by …

Maybe I'm just terrible at R but I don't think it has ever saved me time.
A four-panel "clown makeup" meme humorously depicting the stages of overestimating time saved by scripting in R. Panel 1: A man begins applying clown makeup. Caption: "I'm going to have to copy the results from the same analysis conducted on 4 datasets." Panel 2: He applies more makeup. Caption: "I'll write an R script." Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Caption: "It'll output the results for me in a clear and ready to edit format." Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown. Caption: "I'm going to save so much time as compared to copying and pasting."

I'm finding a groove making letterpress pocket notebooks. These were a gift to @mattgrizz.bsky.social's lab, which I've been crashing while on sabbatical.

Covers printed w/ vintage metal & wood type on a signpress. Recycled paper inside.
