Today, I am thrilled to announce the release of a new Publish or Perish Game expansion, "The Grant Reaper--Trump Administration Edition," featuring nothing but "Budget Cut" cards. #Satire #NoIamNOTSerious

I am grateful to have been on this journey with this fantastic community, including 70+ people who hosted test sessions, and 50+ published academics who helped peer-review the trivia questions. I am looking forward to finally bringing this game to life! 3/3

Media from multiple languages covered the game, and for a couple of days, it was the most popular Kickstarter project, appearing on Nature’s homepage and Google’s autocomplete if you just type “publish ”. All these could not have been possible without the supporters. 2/3

Free spirits in academia, want to take a roadtrip in national parks with a nice RV without breaking the bank this summer? Take my 2020 Mercedes Winnebego from Calgary to Anchorage anytime between 5/5 to 6/16 for a nominal $10/day. PM if interested! shorturl.at/agyE9

Editing a new "publication" in #thePublishOrPerishGame. This Manuscript Card has one of my favorite made-up affiliations.

Just finished editing this "manuscript" in the Publish or Perish game--now I want some chocolate for myself!

“Publish or Perish” is a humorous party game🥳where players will publish made-up papers. Academic trash-talking is not optional, and disingenuous congrats and unsolicited Q&A🙋‍♂️are mandatory parts of the game. Follow me for snippets and progress on development! 2/4

Join us in the SPSP professional development session to enhance your efficiency and productivity! I am fortunate enough to have a stellar lineup of 11 speakers split into 3 "mini symposiums". It's a small room. Come early to secure your seat! 1/5

My talk is on how GPT can generate persuasive appeals that change people’s political attitudes. I will discuss the implications for AI policies. See this thread for details: rb.gy/c8epmd, and see this for preprint osf.io/stakv 2/2

Join us in 🚨Al's Social and Political Footprints: Persuasion, Misinformation, Bias, and Creativity symposium 🚨at #SPSP2024 to hear about cutting-edge research on AI and social psychology! I will give a talk on AI and political persuasion! Kudos to

The last talks show that East Asians’ experience of prejudice occurs on the dimension of mechanical dehumanization, introducing an integrative framework that explains isolated findings on prejudice against East Asians. My coauthor Xian will present osf.io/v2guk 4/5

Our 2nd talk reveals that East Asians are under-selected for leadership positions partially because they are stereotyped as lacking creativity, a prized leadership attribute in US culture. 3/5
February 6, 2024 at 10:51 PM
Our 1st talk uncovers the diversity within the broad Asian umbrella by highlighting the often-overlooked distinctions between East and South Asians’ psychological profiles 2/5

Join us in 🚨Understanding Asians' Unseen Diversity, Experiences, and Challenges 🚨at #SPSP2024 to hear about cutting-edge research on Asian people's experiences. Co-hosting with the eminent Prof. Jackson Lu from MIT Sloan 1/5

These segregations are likely at least partially resulting from employers’ biased decision-making, as an Asian worker and a Black worker are less likely to be selected for a position that requires “human nature” traits and “human uniqueness” attributes respectively. 7/9

These patterns are not just seen in survey data. In the real world labor market (2021 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data), Asian and Black people are racially segregated in occupations that vary along these exact two dehumanization dimensions. 6/9
January 31, 2024 at 6:35 PM
These patterns also occur in language (word embeddings), perceptions of romantic relationships, crime rates, and business skills. In any case, the more something has to do with machines, the more they are associated with Asian people. Reverse for animals and Black people. 5/9
January 31, 2024 at 6:35 PM
We then show that White as well as non-White perceivers see Asian people more machine-like than animal-like and the total reversal for Black people. We used very different measures across the studies, including one invented by ourselves! 4/9

We first show that Asian people report that they experience more mechanical dehumanization than animalistic dehumanization. This contrasts with the total reversal of Black people’s experience. 3/9
January 31, 2024 at 6:31 PM
We show in 12 studies (!) that Asian people are particularly vulnerable to the prejudice of “mechanical dehumanization”, perceived as if they are mindless machines. This stands in stark contrast with the “animalistic dehumanization” that Black people often face. 2/9

Academic dilemma vs startup dilemma. Not that different if I have to say.
