I refer to this invited piece for @psychmag.bsky.social as my #Talking2Strangers manifesto. I wrote about why many of us are reluctant to talk to strangers & what the benefits are (inc. making the world a better place).

The term "silence in organizations" describes a pattern of behaviour in which people refrain from speaking up when they have become witnesses, or victims, of misconduct by other members of the organizations that they belong to.

What do you see as the biggest challenge for social and personality psychology in the immediate future? What should we as a field be doing better than we are now?

We replicated one of the oldest experiments in Psychology (Triplett, 1898) as a registered report. Children completed a task faster in pairs than when they were alone.
