Psych instructors: I'm teaching grad and undergrad seminars on social cognition again after a few year's hiatus, and my syllabi and reading lists are increasingly dated. Any folks willing to share their own, or can point towards openly available ones? Thanks!

Super excited to share that our latest paper is available online now: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…. This work was lead by @KBenbow1stYrPhD, an incredible emerging scholar who needs to be on your radar. Short summary below.
Most emerging pain perception work focuses on 3rd person judgments (i.e., the extent to which we think others are sensitive to pain). Here, we examined 1st person, lived experiences of having one's pain minimized, and how this relates to well-being.
