Huge thanks to @UCSBpsych’s @dconroybeam!
He came to the Social Psych Brown Bag @UCLA + 🤯🤯🤯!
If you understand how a complicated thing—mating psychology—works, maybe you can 🔮predict🔮 what relationships people should be in. Data suggest…maybe you can!?!! (Well, Dan can!)

Why do people 🤬♨️VENT♨️🤬 to friends?
Venting DOES NOT decrease anger (what Freud said)
It's competition for affection:
Venting can make the friends we vent to (listeners) like us better than--and support us over--the friends we vent about (targets)
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Venting can make listeners feel closer to the speaker and less favorable toward the target, but this effect only holds when the venting appears genuine and not driven by rivalry or personal competition. dlvr.it/TFZRPz

Our new preprint on causal judgment! Led by Can Konuk, with Salvador Mascarenhas.
We study how causes that feature several variables (`A and B caused E') are represented in the human mind.
This one contains some really surprising findings...🧵
Interested in grad school in psychology? Perhaps at UCSB?
The Psychological and Brain Sciences department at UC Santa Barbara will be doing an open house next Friday (10/18)! Come learn about our department and program. Register at the link in this flyer:
