Editorial for the special issue "Artificial intelligence, real consequences: Exploring the psychological dimensions of AI"
- written by
- Magdalena Wischnewski,
- Stella Wernicke
Not long ago, artificial intelligence was mostly found in science fiction and computer science departments. Today, it drafts our emails, recommends our next purchase, tutors our children, and occasionally tells us it understands how we feel. This shift has happened so quickly that our psychological vocabulary is still catching up. What does it mean to trust a system that has no body, no history, and no stake in the outcome but communicates like us? Why do we sometimes treat a chatbot with the same politeness we'd extend to a colleague, and other times discard it the moment it makes a...

Becoming superhuman: Is it all in your mind?

written by: Mallika Sarma, Cathleen Clerkin

Everyone loves a good comic book hero, but what if superhuman feats were something you could learn to do in real life? In this post, we will share some recent scientific evidence that suggests that through mindfulness, people can learn to control their minds, bodies, pain tolerance and emotions in ways that seem almost superhuman. more

Who gives a Tweet? Fandom, social identity, and why people take to Twitter

written by: Jessica Tomory

When we think of the world in terms of categories and different groups of people, we think of the various groups to which we belong and our identities within such groups. The groups to which we belong impact how we perceive ourselves, how others perceive us, and the extent to which we express our social identities in order to bolster our self-esteem. This blog will examine how and why people are motivated to express their social identities using social media and, more specifically, will propose that Twitter serves an important identity function for group members. more

Hot or cold morality? (Part 1)

written by: Andrew Monroe

How do we make moral judgments? Are people cold, calculating Vulcans? Or are they affectively hot hedonists? Researchers often present morality as a war between vying ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ processes, but in this two-part blog post I argue that the distinction is a false choice. Morality is both hot and cold, but not in the way previous research leads people to believe. more

Sorry, the relationship with your mother still matters for your achievement in life

written by: Marieke van Egmond

Play dates or homework? Piano lessons or TV? Mothers generally want the best for their children. However, what is ‘the best’? Happiness or academic achievement? And, how should parents go about raising their children in the ‘best’ way possible? One answer to this question is to be a ‘tiger parent’. This rather harsh ‘Chinese’ parenting style has been advocated to guarantee successful children. In this post, I will discuss if this means that all mothers should become a bit more ferocious when it comes to parenting. more

Never give up: The persistence of misinformation effects

written by: Alina Feinholdt

Politicians, corporations, journalists and even scientists sometimes do it – they tell people things that later on turn out to be incorrect. Yet, getting rid of this so-called misinformation is often easier said than done as false beliefs are particularly sticky. In this blog, I zoom in on the current state of the art in misinformation research. more
