Tracking down the truth effect: What we know and what we don't know so far

Studies on the repetition-based truth effect suggest that people provide higher truth judgments to statements they have encountered before than to novel statements. Since its first empirical demonstration, the truth effect has been replicated many times and seems to be a remarkably robust phenomenon. For instance, the effect has been found with various statement types and does not depend on the statements' presentation format. In my talk, I will 1) provide a short summary of what we know so far about the truth effect by introducing central theories and core findings, 2) present own work on the malleability and stability of the effect, and 3) outline unanswered questions.

Title: Concept creep: The psychology of harm inflation

Short abstract: This talk will review a program of research on 'concept creep'. I argue that concepts of harm -- such as bullying, hate, mental illness, prejudice and trauma -- have expanded their meanings in ways that have important cultural, social and psychological implications. I will document concept creep as a historical phenomenon, using examples drawn from clinical, social and developmental psychology, a present studies that clarify how its consequences are likely to be ambivalent.

Talk held by Carla Moleiro, ISCTE-IUL

How is psychopathology defined? Borrowing from critical health psychology, we argued that striving for the psychological wellbeing of all requires to expand from an individual to a social focus, and an understanding of mental healthy and illness in wider social, cultural, political, and historical contexts. Concerns with social justice and mental health disparities were illustrated by studies with different populations, including LGBTQI+ persons, refugees, and particularly on the experiences of trans and gender diverse individuals, gender identities and self-determination.
