This paper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Very compelling evidence that the extensive covariance of diverse psychopathology is not an artifact of cross-sectional factor analysis. They show extensive "co-morbidity" across generations and within-person, over time. doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

A massive study on the effects of social class tested 35 hypotheses in 4 countries (N = 33,536) Only 50% of findings replicated Hypotheses based on differences between social class contexts in terms of constraints, uncertainty & status were supported: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!! The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

i am feeling, i am seeing, i am hearing, i am getting the vibes, that students this sem are better than they've been in years because learning offers a rare haven from authoritarianism, a place to convene, commune, think together, refuel for the fight

📣 New Pub 📣 We captured 30-day emotion intensity & dysregulation data from EMA & examined in relation to cortisol (from hair) during the same period. Emotion intensity & hair cortisol levels were significantly associated among women with high (but not low) emotion dysregulation.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

Great pointer from @nrennie.bsky.social on making data visualisations We as makers spend hours with the data and creating the visualisation, but we need to consider those who are looking for 5 seconds #WOMBAT2025 #dataviz

Excited to be included in Nature’s roundup of 99 lab hacks! I shared advice on lab meetings + clear expectations for trainees. Small structures that can make a big difference in mentoring. Check out the full piece here: doi.org/10.1038/d415...

We wrote a piece for @naturemedicine.bsky.social 🧠 Menstrual cycle irregularities can be both cause and consequence of wide-ranging health issues. Embracing this complexity could reveal novel brain–body interactions and advance neuroscience. Check out our commentary www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A really old tree is as therapeutic as hell. This olive tree has been alive since 300 BC. You can tell just looking at it that it’s not been easy. But it’s still here, and as beautiful as anything on Earth

New preprint alert! 🧵 In this commentary, we discuss why and how the study of affective experience and affect regulation would benefit from greater integration of diversity science--or, "the study of the interpretation and construction of human differences."

I'm pleased to share our latest preprint authored by PhD student Ning Yeo! 🎉🎉The piece is entitled: "Development and Initial Validation of the Response to Suicidal Ideation Inventory (RSII)". Please reach out with questions and/or feedback. We hope this measure is useful! doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Our results were staggering: about 67% of youth who reported lifetime SITBs at a baseline assessment failed to report such history one year later. Such inconsistency is concerning, as it hampers accurate risk assessment in a clinical contexts and may add extra noise to our data in research contexts.

If you have R students learning to clean data, the truffle package by Ian Hussey ( @ianhussey.mmmdata.io ) might be for you. Plus the icon is a cute pig 🐷 Thanks, Nur Shahir, for the tip! www.linkedin.com/in/nmshahir/ github.com/ianhussey/tr... #rladies

As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Here’s a thread no one asked for: 1. SCIENCE IN THE US IS POLITICAL. No matter how much you want to ignore that fact, it is supported by taxpayer dollars and is therefore, political by nature. 2. BUT it has had bipartisan support for decades, which…

🚨 New research alert We applied machine learning to the large MYRIAD trial (84 schools and 8,376 UK teens) to ask: 👉 Which adolescents benefit most from mindfulness delivered in schools? Bottom line: One-size-fits-all doesn’t work. Paper link: tinyurl.com/vvpvfunh 1/n

Youth mental health ≠ just individual factors. School climate, poverty & inequities matter too. Prevention must move beyond one-size-fits-all to integrate both personal + systemic influences. 5/n

Oh No! Of course participants are probably misinterpreting the PHQ, i.e. depression screener everybody and her mother has been using forever! Though congrats to @shirleybwang.bsky.social @eikofried.bsky.social et al for warning. I wonder if similar problems are shared by GAD-7 screening for anxiety?

From the abstract: “When seeing classrooms with stereotypically masculine (vs. neutral) objects, women perceived less safety, which predicted less engagement, interest, and intentions to recruit others.“

Hey folks: A little while aback, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social and I created a repository of SOPs to help folks prepare for grad applications. If you'd like to add your SOP, feel free to use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Of note, mask as you desire as I will be posting them as is.

Revisiting some classics as I prep my first iteration of the "Empirically Supported Treatments" course. H/t to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social for reminding me of this banger from Gordon Paul from almost 60 years ago

A study in Nature Human Behaviour finds that four-day work weeks without a reduction in income boost workers’ job satisfaction and physical and mental health, driven by enhanced work performance, lower levels of fatigue and fewer sleep problems. go.nature.com/3Um75MP #econsky 🧪

And with respect to food, sociologists Sinikka Elliott and Sarah Bowen found that WIC and Medicaid providers use children’s diets as a proxy for whether they have “good” or “bad” moms, forcing those mothers to defend the food choices they make for their kids. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Everyone needs to understand that the defunding of public broadcasting this week is part of a broader effort to dismantle the free press and control the means of reality production itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

At this point, I might as well -- Here's an infographic showing different ways to include age as a predictor. The top shows two extremes, just as a plain old numerical predictor (imposes linear trajectory) vs. categorical predictor (imposes nothing whatsoever). And then three solutions in between!

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/

Great opportunity for dissertation funding for clinical science PhD students who expected to have funding to complete their dissertations and now don't. Please check it out and share with your networks (and please volunteer to review if you can!).

Excited to ✨share✨ that our paper on ✨sharing✨ is published! Across 3 studies that build on one another, we show that perceived alignment with one's peers increases the likelihood of information sharing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A new ProPublica data analysis adds empirical weight to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of miscarriage — which occurs in up to 30% of pregnancies — far more dangerous.
