Just awful. Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

opening R to do analyses on my own project after my first quarter as an assistant professor feels WAY too good right now...😅

New paper in Collabra from @nguyenllpsych.bsky.social's dissertation, "Assortative Mating Patterns Based on Longitudinal Trajectories of Personality Traits and Relationship-Specific Characteristics." Check it out, it's a good one! doi.org/10.1525/coll...

✨ Big news: My dissertation research is officially published! ✨ This work holds a special place in my heart - not only because it represents years of effort, but because it is a tribute to the incredible mentors who guided me 🩵 doi.org/10.1111/jopy...

Can a happy partner keep stress at bay? A new study from our very own Tiko Yoneda finds that happiness in a relationship is linked to lower stress hormone levels in older couples. #UCDavis #RelationshipScience www.ucdavis.edu/news/new-stu...

Can’t recommend this paper enough!

🚨 Recruiting PhD Students 🚨 I am currently seeking motivated graduate students to join me in the Psych Dept at UC Davis in Fall 2025! I study how young adults narrate experiences with domains including race, ethnicity, and nationality in relation to psychological outcomes.

Hello colleagues! I am prepping a course on Multicultural Psychology (first time!). Any must-read articles, books, or teaching materials on diverse perspectives? Please feel free to share!

We @ucdavispsych.bsky.social are hiring an Assistant Professor of Developmental Psychology! Take a look if you are interested and share with colleagues: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06660

Excited to share this paper that the wonderful @syeducation.bsky.social and I recently wrote on integrating personality psychology and intersectionality, out now at Social and Personality Psychology Compass! doi.org/10.1111/spc3...

We'll likely have a 2-year postdoc position in our lab (MetaMelb) in psych at Melbourne Uni, starting later this year. If you have a PhD, do relevant stuff, & want to spend 2 years in Melbourne studying psychology research methods & practices, please get in touch! Please share!

In two studies, we examined themes of agency & communion in racial/ethnic narratives among U.S. young adults in relation to racial/ethnic identity. If you're at SPSP this week, come chat with me about what we found!

If you’re going to #SPSP2024 and you’re free on Saturday from 1-5pm, come join us to do some group peer reviews of preprints and get a $120 gift card and some timtams (if you don’t know what timtams are, that’s a good enough reason to come!) Please repost!

Lots of life-things happening for me these days—yesterday, I moved into my office and lab at UCRiverside, and today, a paper that lays out the next years of my research program came out: “Studying Personality and Social Structure” compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Deviating from a preregistration can be justified if it leads to a test with higher validity - even if this comes at the cost of a less severe test (which is likely still more severe than if you had not preregistered). I give examples in Table 1.

The schedule is set and registration is live for the SPSP 2024 Personality Science Preconference, Feb 8th 8AM-noon (++ Happiness and Well-being Preconf. in the afternoon). Register here: spsp.org/events/annua.... Early bird registration ends in 1 month!

I'm looking to recruit a new Ph.D. student for Fall 2024, particularly someone interested in meta-science, and preferably intersections with diversity/structural perspectives. Full consideration given to applicants from inside or outside the U.S. Deadline is Dec 1. cla.umn.edu/psychology/g...

I'm hiring a predoctoral fellow! The fellow will work with me on my solo projects and with me @hlw.bsky.social and Ariel White on collaborative projects. Please share with colleagues, friends, and potentially interested students and reach out with questions! tobin.yale.edu/opportunitie...

Does anyone have a template for reviewing pre-registrations? I have assigned pre-registrations for a course assignment and would be grateful for examples of how others evaluate these. Thank you! #openscience

Research on "resilience" has long suffered from a lack of attention to societal structures. Our new paper, "Integrating Systems of Power and Privilege in the Study of Resilience," has now been accepted at American Psychologist. Check it out! psyarxiv.com/yhmj9/ (trying not to cross-post, but...)

Does anyone have a good resource that explains why the Myers-Brigg isn't scientifically sound, but for a non-specialist audience? And also preferably isn't condescending? #PsychSciSky
