Academic friends, help us spread the word about this event by retweeting and sharing with your RAs, lab managers, and other students. 4/4

Many of our faculty panelists are looking to accept students this cycle (@brialong.bsky.social@adenaschachner.bsky.social@nadiabrashier.bsky.social to name a few), so it’s a chance to hear from them before you apply! Come spend two days learning about our program! We can’t wait to meet you! 3/4

Our event is open to all prospective students but was created for URM applicants. Coming from a #FGLI background myself, I wanted to organize an event to give prospective students resources to apply to graduate school and an inside look at the admissions process. 2/4

Applying to Psych PhD programs? Considering applying to @UCSDPsychology? For the third year in a row, we’re hosting a two-day virtual event for prospective students on October 17th & 18th. You can register and view the schedule at diversifyingpsychology.ucsd.edu. 1/4

Diversifying Psychology Event

Thursday, October 17, 2024 & Friday, October 18, 2024

Looking forward to #ICIS2024@lorijn.bsky.social@shariliu.bsky.social@mzettersten.bsky.social@infantstudies.bsky.social

These findings suggest that vicarious emotions are rich sources of information about others and, like adults, children use them to make social evaluations. I love doing science with @lindseypowell.bsky.social & Gabe Bonamy! Send us your thoughts and comments, we’re eager to discuss! [4/4]

Children also negatively evaluated empathizers of immoral actions, but still inferred they were friends with the target of their empathy, suggesting children are sensitive to the context of vicarious emotions and not just the emotion itself. [3/4]

Children, overall, more positively evaluated empathizers than less empathic others, except when the counter-empathizer helped the target and the empathizer did not. Though older children weighed these cues more closely than younger children. [2/4]

🚨New preprint! osf.io/preprints/os... Adults evaluate consider empathizers to be warm, likable, & respected, but not when the target of their empathy is morally reprehensible. We asked whether 4-7 year olds held similar beliefs. [1/4]

I’m hiring a postdoc to start in Fall 2024 (or later) at UCSB! The ideal candidate should be interested in how babies and children make sense of others’ actions, minds, and/or relationships. Please share! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02765
