Narcissists report more ostracism—but why? 🤔

You’re seated at a table with strangers in a busy restaurant. They nod at you, then continue using their phones without talking. Do you feel excluded?
Turns out, the answer depends a lot on cultural context!

Tracking #conspiracy belief over time offers a window into how psychological needs factor into such thinking. A real pleasure to be involved in this great study led by @ealbath.bsky.social ! (+ @mdmarques.com and others)

New findings! 📊
Analyzing 4 annual waves of data (N = 55,269), we show:

Between-person:
Chronically lower need satisfaction links to stronger conspiracy beliefs (CB).

Within-person:
- Lower control & belonging → increases in CB.
- Higher meaning in life also → increases in CB.

Very cool paper on social exclusion experiences online!

Would be interesting to see how these findings translate to other platforms, like those centered on pictures rather than text. #SocialPsychology #ostracism #socialexclusion
How do people behave after feeling the sting of social exclusion on social media? New #PSPB research suggests users quickly made new posts to reach broad audiences but took longer to engage in direct interactions with specific individuals.

According to my freshmen students, I’m not just their lecturer—I’m a style icon! 💃 My millennial heart may or may not have skipped a beat reading that in their evaluations. 😄
But seriously, such a fun, interactive group with great discussions—teaching them has been a total joy. ❤️ #socialpsychology
