I could not be prouder of my Dad, David Adler (not on X), who just hit a major milestone: 50 years at Tufts Medical Center! This is a very sweet tribute to his career there. linkedin.com/pulse/50-years-…
Thanks, @APA_Journals for sharing this paper. It was a massive project and one we’re very proud of.
Following adults w/ disabilities across the first 3 years of the pandemic, @JonathanMAdler et al. found that interdependence played an important role in psychological well-being and may offer an alternative to America's long-standing focus on independence: bit.ly/4xQKcE6
The end of my term as Editor of Personality and Social Psychology Review is profoundly bittersweet. While it is a relief not to oversee the day-to-day influx of manuscripts, I will greatly miss the opportunity to work with this stellar team on a journal I am so proud of.
Please read our final reflections! Knowing that it is now in the hands of the incomparable Eranda Jayawickreme is great solace, as the journal will only continue to get better.

Thanks to Kathleen Bogart, Cindy Frantz, Phia Salter, Amber Gayle Thalmayer, Sarah Stanton, Eranda Jayawickreme, Stephen Baffour Adjei, Pegah Nejat, Ligia Oliveira-Silva and to @SPSPnews for this once-in-a-career opportunity.
I was absolutely delighted to revisit the @HiddenBrain team for a follow-up to my original episode. These follow-ups are called “Your Questions Answered.” (My segment starts at 55:20) Here’s the link:

I’m very proud to share this Special Issue of PSPR, “Highlighting Personality and Social Psychological Theories From Majority World Contexts.” spsp.org/news/spsp-news/new-…
It was overseen by the journal’s first two Editorial Fellows, Stephen Baffour Adjei (from Ghana) @nana88baffour and Pegah Nejat (from Iran), along with Amber Gayle Thalmayer and myself.
As always, no one says it better than @meghanor. This is a MUST read for anyone thinking about the role of generative AI in our lives today (which should be all of us). nytimes.com/2025/07/18/opini…
For my book I’m looking to interview people who have an experience of “the danger of a single story.” Have you had an experience where you felt reduced to one storyline, maybe some category (race, gender, sexuality, etc.), or some other thing that seemed to trump everything else?
It doesn’t need to be an extreme story, just an everyday experience of feeling stuck in a story other people were telling about people like you. Thanks! (Here's the brilliant original TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie introducing that concept: youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241…)
As many of you know, I’ve spent this sabbatical year working on a book project. I’m thrilled to announce that, as of yesterday, I officially have a contract with @penguinrandom’s @Avery_Books imprint to publish the book!
And, while I have missed @OlinCollege, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to my community of Fellows in the @newhouse_center at @Wellesley this year, who have been the most dreamy colleagues to work alongside on this project.
