How do filmmakers portray POWER?
Pretty closely to how evolutionary social scientists would tell them to.
Here's a great video on power in film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaIF... ...

Big congrats to @rthompkins.bsky.social on this paper! Happy to finally see this out in the world.
Our work builds on findings from @juliamarshall.bsky.social on the impact of social relationships on moral expectations, with a focus on how children think about lying and liars.

New paper with past honors student Vanessa Chao and @zoeliberman.bsky.social in press at JECP:
