Last month, I presented my poster on how true crime consumption relates to victim blaming at #SPSP2026 in Chicago — and I'm so honored to have received the Best Poster Award at the Moral Psychology pre-conference! 🎉
Late repost but had a wonderful time at #SPSP2026!
a little late but I had a great time at #SPSP2026! super thankful to @diegoreinero.bsky.social and all who contributed to (via amazing talks) and attended the morality precon—it was a huge success! also thankful to the members of the wylab who each presented ongoing work at the lab's inaugural SPSP
That’s a wrap! #spsp2026

Here's a rapid-fire slideshow with some of our favorite content posted on Instagram during #SPSP2026. Thanks again to everyone who shared their experience here on Bluesky as well!
Thank YOU! We're so happy that it was a success and we appreciate everyone who helped make #SPSP2026 possible. We're already looking forward to #SPSP2027 in Philadelphia next year!
Successful #SPSP2026. I presented for the first time to an audience a project two years in the making. In this project, we look at the genetics underlying self-specific personality variance, the unique perspective one has on their own personality.
I had such a great time presenting at #SPSP2026!
Shoutout to my labmates @bzubaly.bsky.social and @nicole-li.bsky.social for their fantastic presentations 😊
Really enjoyed all of the inspiring presentations and engaging conversations at #SPSP2026. Happy to have my first poster presentation under my belt. Thank you so much to everyone that helped with the project and who stopped by the poster!
Thank you so much for joining us, @verasight.io! #SPSP2026 👏👏👏
#SPSP2026 is wrapped! Thank you to all the great presenters and everyone who showed up to my poster!
I had a great time at #SPSP2026! Here are some photos from my presentation, as well as posters from one of my research assistants and my lab manager. Thanks to all who made this conference happen!
So much science in Chicago!! #spsp2026
Last day @spspnews.bsky.social! Jalen presented his thesis on flexible thinking in kids, Mariam discussed identity denial attributions, Tose showed Black immigrant socializations, & @mohammadwiswall.bsky.social highlighted how context (Hawaii vs mainland) shifts identity denial outcomes! #spsp2026
I work with some incredible people!
If I were more organized I would've posted about their #SPSP2026 posters before the event so you could see in person, but consider this a call to look out for these names: @iscrame.bsky.social , Marcus Cumberbatch, and Luke Herder! (And C^2 lab Co-PI Dr. Phills!)
And that’s a wrap for my #SPSP2026 talk summaries this year. Thanks for sharing all that neat work, y’all! ☺️
@icedteas.bsky.social presented interesting work at #SPSP2026 suggesting that (political) moral conviction seems to have three distinct facets, focused on: inparty moralization, moralized disagreement, and moralized character judgment (for being a member of the outparty).
@diegoreinero.bsky.social presented some thought-provoking work at #SPSP2026 showing that American partisans seem to be most attitudinally polarized on climate issues, in particular.
@jakewomick.bsky.social presented interesting work at #SPSP2026 investigating the prejudices of extreme leftists, finding that they were negatively prejudiced against men and Jewish people; prejudices associated with (and mediated by) perceptions that these groups are harmful and powerful.
In the #SPSP2026 symposium she chaired, @abbycassario.bsky.social presented work investigating how attitudes get pulled into the moral domain; while prior explanations have focused on emotions and intra-attitudinal features, she suggested researchers should also consider *inter*-attitude structures.
In an interesting #SPSP2026 talk, @abdoe.bsky.social presented data showing that assigning participants to watch a debate (versus an informational video, or no video) on rent control made them significantly more intellectually humble.
Interesting research presented by Zarnab Zahoor at #SPSP2026 found that across 9 democracies (7 Christian-majority, 1 Hindu-majority, and 1 Jewish-majority), all samples showed a positive association between religious nationalism and conservatism (this effect was especially pronounced in the U.S.).
In an interesting #SPSP2026 talk, @asmiley.bsky.social presented work suggesting that the proportion of out-partisans at one’s church had a curvilinear association with affective polarization—politically balanced churches showed the lowest rates of affective polarization.
