Super-honored to receive this award! @kurtjgray.bsky.social and @keithpayne.bsky.social, whom I trained with in grad school, both won the same award back in the day (2014 and 2011). I'm grateful for their mentorship and happy to continue the tradition.
ISCON is excited to announce that the 2023 Best Social Cognition Paper Award goes to Hester, N., & Hehman, E. (2023). Dress is a fundamental component of person perception. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 27(4), 414-433! Congrats @neilrhester.bsky.social and @erichehman.bsky.social!

This technique lets you compare patterns across diff types of measures (eg correlate correlation matrices), super flexible
