‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

I’m especially thrilled that our outstanding undergraduate researcher, Thinh Nguyen, will be presenting his work at #SAS2026 after receiving a UCR Travel Minigrant.
Thinh is also currently exploring lab manager opportunities. Keep an eye out for his application! Any lab would be lucky to have him!

I’m so excited to take this incredible crew to Pittsburgh for #SAS2026 next week! I couldn’t be prouder of the thoughtful, innovative presentations they all put together. @affectscience.bsky.social

A reminder that I’m accepting applications for PhD students!

In this behemoth effort led by @anhhtran.bsky.social, we reanalysed 11 experience-sampling datasets, and found limited evidence that context (intensity, controllability, and social features) meaningfully shaped everyday emotion regulation strategy use.

Managing emotions is not easy - we often get by with a little help. In the NEW Social Interaction and Emotion Lab at Rutgers-Newark, we’ll study how social interactions regulate emotion using experiments, naturalistic data, and multi-modal approaches. ✨ Now recruiting! ✨🙌 Learn more: raziasahi.com

Dr. Springstein did qualitative focus groups to discover potential issues and incentives for older adults to do daily life sampling research — nice idea! @srndna.bsky.social

Really pleased with how this turned out, giving new insight into the linguistics of therapy: Found that LLMs estimate psychological distance better than dictionary-based methods used in prior work (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), also finding that therapists who *encourage* distance fare better
