For folks course prepping, I wanted to give a quick plug for my recent pub in PSPB on the psychology of guilty pleasures. The research is a great example of discrete emotion theory and self-conscious emotions, but would also work well for discussing self-presentation, dissonance, and norms.

Always a blast at #MPA2025 #MPA25! I had the pleasure of presenting work I conducted with @jasonfolmsbee.bsky.social and our advisor Dr. Heather Claypool. Of course, I forgot to post *before* I presented, but reach out if you would like to know about how jargon impacts belonging and engagement!

Tomorrow afternoon at #MPA2025, I’ll be giving a talk on my recent research examining the social consequences of (un)successfully sharing guilty pleasures with close others. If you’re attending MPA, I hope to see you there!

📖New research reveals guilty pleasures trigger mixed emotions: joy and guilt simultaneously. People are more likely to share these indulgences with close friends than with acquaintances or strangers.

Virtually everyone has a guilty pleasure (GP), but not all GPs are experienced the same. This Saturday at #SPSP2025 I’ll be presenting research detailing how different GPs like food and audiovisual media (TV/YouTube) elicit different affective responses and self-presentation concerns. Come stop by!
