Professor of psychology James W. Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin, Fulbright Specialist will give lectures at the Faculty of Education, University of Hradec Králové.
Pennebaker is the Regents Centennial Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas. His early research focused on how writing about emotional upheavals might improve people's mental and physical health. For the last two decades he has worked closely with researchers in computer science, linguistics, communication, and other fields to understand the issue: In what ways is the psychological state reflected in natural languages? He has published over 300 scientific articles and 10 books. He is among the most cited social scientists in the world and the recipient of several national and international scientific awards.

10:00 The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us (Lecture will be translated into the Czech and streamed via Zoom)
The shortest words in our vocabulary are used at the highest rates. Rather than conveying content, these function words shape what the authors are saying by providing context, their relationship with the topic and the audience. Function words are profoundly social and psychological. Dozens of studies point to the ways that function words can reveal our personality, intelligence, honesty, status, and social connections with others. Implications of using text analysis methods to study people in real world settings are discussed.
