🚨New review🚨 Do warning labels on misinformation actually work? In Current Opinion in Psychology, @DG_Rand & I show that the answer is YES: warnings can reduce belief & sharing by ~25-50%! We also review moderators (eg more visible=bigger effect) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Altruism is minimally related to self-reported empathy. Examining 347 real-world altruists, we found they don't self-report more empathy (and report LESS personal distress). Are altruists more empathic? Yes, but self-reported empathy≠empathy. @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…
This new paper from @deaneckles et al. counters recent findings that clustered networks are better at facilitating the spread of threshold-based contagions than randomly rewired networks. @aminrahimian @mitidss @PittTweet nature.com/articles/s4156…

@Cameron_Martel_ @ROrchinik @DG_Rand cool! Congrats.
@emollick Seems like a different finding than the other recent study "and other strategies (including various psychological and social/emotional strategies) were used even less." that seems to suggest influence was determined by stronger logic and evidence. osf.io/preprints/psya…
@aa_marsh @NatureComms Does this ever ring true—a lot of people expressing the most empathy on social media are simultaneously trolls half the time.
Altruism is minimally related to self-reported empathy. Examining 347 real-world altruists, we found they don't self-report more empathy (and report LESS personal distress). Are altruists more empathic? Yes, but self-reported empathy≠empathy. @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…
Highly valuable evidence on how to counter misinformation effectively after exposure.
