Our latest paper is out! Anti-social learning: The impact of language on mentalizing. Really enjoyed this one, thanks as ever to @drccatmur and @DrGeoffBird.

New research finds #language used in the UK media shapes whether readers view out-group members, such as #immigrants, as individuals with their own thoughts and intentions, or simply as part of a stereotyped group.

ALT "Press coverage about immigration has been steadily increasing in the UK, and it is one of the most divisive issues today. Our research shows that the language used in the media shapes how readers perceive out-group members, influencing whether they’re seen as individuals with their own thoughts and intentions, or simply as part of a stereotyped group."

@divyushkhemka and @drccatmur discuss strengths and limitations for a range of different methods to measure imitation of others’ movements.

📊 A study in @SciReports shows that we are better at intuiting the thoughts and emotions of our social group, while it’s significantly more challenging with “out-groups.”

New IoPPN research has shown that despite being highly confident that we can understand the minds of people with opposing viewpoints to our own, the assumptions humans make about others are often wrong.

ALT "We live in an increasingly polarised society and many people are very confident in their understanding of those who don’t share their beliefs. However, our research shows that people are willing to reconsider once they are made aware of their mistakes." Dr Caroline Catmur, Reader in Cognitive Psychology at King’s IoPPN

🚨 Chuffed to get this paper out in @SciReports, with @drccatmur and @DrGeoffBird. We show that the more confident people are that they can understand the mind of someone they disagree with, the more likely it is that they're wrong! nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

🎉 Our latest research (@drccatmur & @DrGeoffBird) on how people overestimate their ability to understand others has also been featured in @ConversationUK today in relation to the UK riots. Check out the full article here: theconversation.com/people-t…
Awesome new work by @bryony_payne with @DrGeoffBird - poorer representation of out-group minds means people are less good at inferring their beliefs. Plus, the worse people are at inferring out-group members' beliefs, the better they think they are doing: doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-6…

Excited to share our latest paper (@drccatmur), published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. We show that the effect of interpersonal synchronous stimulation on the enfacement illusion is mediated by the degree of self–other overlap. royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
