”Psychologists must integrate questions of truth and ethics into their research programs. It challenges professionals to recognize the moral weight of their models and methods.”

Interaction is more than just words. The reseach by @drsimonmagnusson.bsky.social and @melisaste.bsky.social on the interactional dynamics of sexual consent illustrates this. Oversimplifications like 'no means no' and 'yes means yes' overlook the complex realities involved in negotiating consent.

Huomenna eli perjantaina 19.9 klo 17 Tiedekulmassa (Yliopistonkatu 4) tarjolla psykologian, tieteenhistorian ja tieteenfilosofian näkökulmia kysymykseen: Kuinka hyvin johtamisteoriat ja organisaatioteoriat kestävät tieteellisen tarkastelun? Nähdään Tiedekulmassa!

Personality tests serve a dual purpose in recruitment interviews: for applicants, they facilitate situationally coherent self-presentation, while for recruiters, they function as a tool for truth-finding. Out now @sagepub.com

Miten ”teeskentelyä” tunnistetaan rekrytointihaastatteluissa? Kirjoitin persoonallisuuden arvioinnista vuorovaikutuksessa: keskustelunanalyysi.fi/2025/08/25/t...

Tärkeä avaus tänään @hs.fi rekrytointiprosessien henkilöarvioinneista. Persoonallisuuden arviointia tulisi tarkastella myös vuorovaikutustoimintana: miten persoonallisuutta arvioidaan ja millaisia seurauksia sillä on.

Excited and grateful for Kone foundation’s support in identifying interactional mechanisms that foster or hinder the emergence of genuinely democratic grassroots practices—practices critical to the future of our society. Join us in advancing democratic dialogue. More to come in August 2025!

Erinomainen puheenvuoro @tapiomaatta.bsky.social. Johtamisosaamisen parantaminen, avoimuuden ja osallistamisen lisääminen sekä valta-asetelmien kriittinen tarkastelu ovat keskeisiä yliopistojen työskentelyilmapiirin ja sitä kautta myös tuloksen parantamisessa.

From experience, I can give a wholehearted recommendation. ☀️👇
