    AI's decisions are often comprised with a human in the loop. Why? The person tries to improve the decisions but ends up making it worse despite good intentions. Our need to contribute interferes with these systems. In this article, we discuss this issue and whether explainable AI can foster true human-AI teamwork for better choices.

    Editorial for the special issue "Artificial intelligence, real consequences: Exploring the psychological dimensions of AI"

    • written by
    • Magdalena Wischnewski,
    • Stella Wernicke
    Not long ago, artificial intelligence was mostly found in science fiction and computer science departments. Today, it drafts our emails, recommends our next purchase, tutors our children, and occasionally tells us it understands how we feel. This shift has happened so quickly that our psychological vocabulary is still catching up. What does it mean to trust a system that has no body, no history, and no stake in the outcome but communicates like us? Why do we sometimes treat a chatbot with the same politeness we'd extend to a colleague, and other times discard it the moment it makes a...

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare, from enhancing radiology diagnoses to supporting mental health treatment. But while it promises efficiency and accuracy, its integration raises questions of trust, bias, and decision-making dynamics. Will AI become an indispensable medical partner, or will barriers hinder its adoption? This article explores AI’s expanding role, its impact on healthcare professionals, and the road ahead.

    Now I ain’t sayin she’s a gold digger, but will she get with someone who makes less than her, either?

    written by: Cathleen Clerkin
    In this post I review research showing that women do not care about partner’s income as much as people may think. In fact, the research suggests that both men and women overestimate the degree to which the other gender cares about money in relationships. These findings are particularly relevant given that some opponents of the 2014 U.S. Paycheck Fairness Act have stated that women prefer to make less money than their romantic partners. more

    Learning from our dreams

    written by: Dylan Selterman
    In this post, I describe how dreams are associated with people’s behavior after waking up, especially in the context of their close relationships. Have you ever felt upset at someone after what they did in your dream? There are several theories to explain how and why this happens, along with some references to Friends and The Matrix. more

    Only searching for a plane? What the disappearance of Flight MH 370 reveals about the human need for meaning and certainty

    written by: Aaron Moss
    In this post, I describe how two core motives of human social behavior—the need for understanding and the need for control—shape people’s responses to disaster. Using the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 as an example, I describe how people seek to maintain meaning (related to understanding) and to re-establish certainty (related to control) after unforeseen disasters. more

    Coping with being bullied

    written by: Matt Newman
    In this blog post, I discuss recent research suggesting that being the victim of bullying can have a long-lasting impact on mental and physical health. But there’s a ray of hope in this literature as well: the lasting impact may depend on the ways that victims cope with being bullied. more

    Political ideology is more than just “liberal” and “conservative”

    written by: Jarret Crawford
    In this blog post, I describe new evidence that thinking about political ideology on a single liberal/left to conservative/right spectrum masks important nuances in the origins of political ideologies and in the way that people apply those ideologies to important judgments, including those of other people (i.e., prejudice). more

    Would One Direction be as popular if we got to re-run the world?

    written by: Ase Innes-Ker
    In this post I ask why do songs, movies and books become popular? If you love something, it is easy to think it must be its obvious qualities, but if you work in promotion, you know that these qualities are not easy to spot. Usually, we look to our peers to discover new things – what Psychologists call social proof. The work I present shows how important social proof is in determining what becomes popular, but also that appeal, to some degree, matters. more
