James Pennebaker has always been curious about people. He went to Eckerd College as an undergraduate in 1970 with the intention of eventually going to law school, but psychology quickly diverted his attention.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was something about it, especially social psychology, that intrigued me because it addressed why do we behave the way we do?\u201d he remembered during an interview with the Observer<\/em>. \u201cWhy are we sometimes unbelievably cruel and vicious and other times altruistic and really good?\u201d <\/p>\n

Pennebaker is now a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. He retired from teaching two years ago and is set to become APS\u2019s next president later this year. Pennebaker\u2019s research interests have spanned a variety of topics across psychology, but he believes one of his most impactful projects was the simplest.  <\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cFrom my perspective, this is what I always dreamt about when I was starting off: Wouldn\u2019t it be cool to do some research that really made a difference in society? And I think it has.\u201d  <\/em><\/p>\n

– James Pennebaker, Social Psychologist and Incoming APS President<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

The project was born out of research exploring the physical symptoms that arose in individuals who had been through traumatic experiences. Pennebaker noticed that those who kept their traumas hidden from others were more prone to illness. He wondered what would happen if people were asked to write about those traumatic experiences in a laboratory setting.  <\/p>\n

In the 1988 study, 50 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to write about either their own traumatic experiences or a superficial topic. The participants wrote for 20 minutes each day for four consecutive days. Blood samples were collected the day before the study, the last day of the study, and six weeks after the study\u2019s conclusion. Other physical measurements, such as blood pressure and heart rate, were collected as well (Pennebaker et al., 1988).  <\/p>\n

\u201cThose who wrote about traumatic experiences ended up going to the student health center at half the rates as those wrote about superficial topics,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n

His team also found that by writing about their experiences, individuals saw improved immune function. They were able to measure this with objective markers of physical health, such as by monitoring the blastogenic response of T-lymphocytes\u2014a common technique used to measure an individual\u2019s immune response to toxic or foreign substances in the body.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a break from much of the research in social and clinical psychology, which had relied almost exclusively on questionnaires,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n

Pennebaker said he was fascinated by the multiple benefits that came with articulating those experiences. The technique (described in Pennebaker, 1997) is now known as expressive writing and has been widely cited and studied by other researchers. It has also been used in practical settings, including educational and military purposes. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a powerful cognitive tool, a powerful social tool, and a powerful health tool as well,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n

Pennebaker has participated in discussions and given many presentations on this research around the world, and he has found that it\u2019s a concept that people intuitively understand and find to be a useful coping tool.  <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my perspective, this is what I always dreamt about when I was starting off: Wouldn\u2019t it be cool to do some research that really made a difference in society?\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think it has.\u201d  <\/p>\n

In the years since he first published on expressive writing, Pennebaker has expanded his research into the ways people use language in everyday life. By reading the essays his research participants wrote in describing upheavals, he realized that the ways people described and understood their experiences provided snapshots into the ways they were thinking.  <\/p>\n

Working with students and colleagues, he developed a text analysis program, Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count<\/a>, that could categorize people\u2019s thinking, emotional, and social styles. In the last several years, he has taken this research into the worlds of big data and artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n

\u201cPsychology is moving into so many new and exciting directions. Look at the remarkable papers coming out in the APS journals these days,\u201d Pennebaker noted. \u201cBy crossing levels of analysis and even disciplines, we are starting to see the world with fresh eyes. APS has a front-row seat in understanding the human mind.\u201d <\/p>\n

As he prepares to become APS president in the summer of 2025, Pennebaker has engaged in a series of conversations with APS members, noticing that younger generations are learning to approach psychological questions in new ways because of advances in how data can be processed and analyzed.  <\/p>\n

Pennebaker\u2019s current attentions are tuned in on two emerging topics for psychological science: artificial intelligence and cultural movements happening in the United States and across the world.\u00a0Photo by Kenny Braun<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The basic structure of the scientific method is changing as new tools and ways of thinking emerge, he said.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThe new world is providing new ways to think about and analyze very large data sets,\u201d he said. \u201cNot only are you able to test without actually doing traditional experiments, which is shocking, but you are able to look at the data and see patterns that are really powerful\u2014but you don\u2019t know why they are there. And then you dig in to try to figure it out.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Pennebaker\u2019s current attentions are specifically tuned in on two emerging topics for psychological science: (1) the opportunities provided by artificial intelligence to better understand and improve the human condition and (2) the cultural movements happening in the United States and across the world.  <\/p>\n

\u201cHow do we deal with a changing society that is deemphasizing federal funding of science and the importance of science in general?\u201d he asked. \u201cAnd of course, I’m particularly interested in psychological science because what we do is critically important to the culture.\u201d <\/p>\n
