🔵 Today is National Handmade Day! 👏 for handmakers!

Can you make things with your hands other than a sandwich? 😉 I do! Those are my hands on the pic!🙃

This effect can be interesting for some small business owners – did you know that handmade products may repel clients? #SocialPsyc explains that!

🔵 Our society's award is named after Solomon Asch. He showed how a majority group can shape perception. Are those lines equal? - he asked the prtnts. Their answers were correct or not, depending on what others said. #SocialPsyc

Probably everyone heard of the experiment. Who knows the whole story?

Words change their meaning - offensive ones too. But in this process, are they perceived as hate speech?

➡️TL;DR👄says "yes", but ❤️ says "no"

Today is the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism - the United Nations General Assembly declared a few years ago. What better way to celebrate it in the scientific community than by posting a short-form, pop-sci article about it, I guess?😁

Let's speak some APA here: Muniak, P., & Kulesza, W. (2024). The Impact of Mimicry Behavior on Guilt. Social Psychological Bulletin, 19, 1-27. doi.org/10.32872/spb...

2 Rs did a nice chunk of research. Mimicked participants were to feel less guilty. But they didn't. 6 rounds later Rs were left wondering - is it a them-problem, an unexpected pattern or is the clash of 2 stats schools. One saying “significant”, the other - “anecdotal”?🤔
