We worked on this paper for about 10 years before finally seeing it in print. It connects with issues that have been central to the discipline of psychology for the last century — but which, we argue, fell by the wayside due to a limited understanding of the nature of the self.

Congratulations to Jolanda Jetten for winning the award for lifetime contribution to social psychology at #SASP2024. Hugely well deserved and a really fantastic achievement.

Really enjoyed the 7-paper session on Truth and Consequences at #SASP2024. Great contributions from Smithson, Tay, Jiang, Wang, Andrews, Felice, Platow and Reynolds

Looking forward to participating in the #SASP2024 pre-conference on Social Identity in the Workplace organised by Andrew Frain and @blake-mc.bsky.social

We’re on a two-day drive down to #SASP2024 at ANU, spending the night in the Shearers’ Quarters at Goonoo Goonoo Station.
