The Problem With "Active Listening" Why authentic listening isn't about performing the right behaviors, but about genuine presence, how to move from parroting words to mirroring meaning, and transform conversations.

A new post in my blog, "The Listening Lens'. This time about my perspectives on the issues with active listening nowdays. Will be happy to learn your thoughts.

Excited to share our new paper in Emotion!

High-quality listening evokes Kama Muta, a social emotion of being “moved by love.” Across 3 studies (N=1,126), both speakers & listeners felt more moved when listening was of high-quality. @kgdemarree.bsky.social

Are impact index calculations based on the final publication date? If so, then journals have an incentive to have the papers available but not "published" for a while, as there are more chances to be seen/cited in the critical window used to calculate impact.

I suspect letters say as much about the letter writer as about the student - we would need a social relations model analysis to isolate rater and target effects. Since we usually only have one letter from each letter writer, the rater effect and the target effect are fully confounded.
