Very excited to see this: a National Geographic documentary about one of the biggest frauds in social science—the Stanford Prison Experiment.
Based on all the new evidence. Thibault Le Texier in particular deserves major credit for his work uncovering the truth.

The community asked, and @JEnvPsych delivered! This new editorial confirms that the journal is now open to pure qualitative research once more. This is a great decision for inclusive, novel, and interdisciplinary research in environmental psychology. doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2024…
We hear responses will be coming soon on this very important issue about #qualitative research in environmental psychology. Fingers crossed we can effect change to keep our field’s main journal open to diversity of thought and knowledge production @JEnvPsych

Great work from @SwedishProtests and colleagues @KeelePsychology
Following the Queen's death in September 2022, over 250,000 people queued to file past her coffin in Westminster Hall, allowing social psychologists to learn more about the social and cultural significance of this period of uncertainty ➡️ keele.ac.uk/about/news/2024/…
