Why is #attachment foundational for effective #leadership? Because leadership is first and foremost a #relationship. And it’s not just any kind of relationship, it’s an attachment-based relationship. 👉🏻 attachmentinformedleadership.substack.com/p/why-attach...

#Attachment #MythBusting #35: "Rewiring" our #brain to become more #secure Yes, this is a thing, but it's not a "quick fix". The key is to enable our brain to build a (new) predictive model of #safety. 👉🏻 pvrticka.com/attachment-m... @soneatlab.bsky.social @universityofessex.bsky.social

New study from the @soneatlab.bsky.social: Securely stressed: association between #attachment and empathic #stress in romantic couples 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1038/s415... Secure attachment can be both a ✅ resilience and a potential ⚠️ risk factor within romantic relationships under stress.

Looking fwd to our neural synchrony symposium today - & especially learning more from @pvrticka.bsky.social on synchrony in #fNIRS. For a preview check out an excellent 2025 review led by @saradefelice.bsky.social - join us 3pm in Hyde 1. 🧠 ⚡️ 🧠 #flux2025 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now happening at #FLUX2025 @fluxsociety.bsky.social 👇🏻 Interested in #fNIRS #hyperscanning in #parent #child dyads & #families? Check out our posters & talk by my @soneatlab.bsky.social ! And do let me know if you want to meet for a chat 😊.

Come and find my @soneatlab.bsky.social (@universityofessex.bsky.social) at this years #FLUX2025 in #Dublin! We are participating in 4 events, including a pre-conference workshop on #hyperscanning with @artinis.bsky.social, two #poster sessions by Ricky and Laura, and a symposium talk 👇🏻

🤔❓ How good is #AI when asked about the neurobiological basis of #attachment? 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Very bad! Don't rely on AI for such a complex and nuanced question. Instead, use resources based on real & recent scientific evidence - like my #Attachment #MythBusting series or #NAMA & #NAMDA. 👉🏻 pvrticka.com

#Attachment MythBusting #33: #SexDifferences in Attachment Yes, there are sex differences in attachment. But they are more complex than #PopPsychology suggests. 👉🏻 pvrticka.com/attachment-m... @universityofessex.bsky.social @soneatlab.bsky.social

#Attachment #MythBusting #32: The "Anxious-Avoidant Trap" The internet is full of posts mentioning this trap, apparently one of the most common and challenging attachment combinations within close relationships. But what’s science telling us? Let’s have a closer look! pvrticka.com/attachment-m...

Robbie Duschinsky has written an #openaccess book on #attachment research in developmental psychology. How it started, how it changed, and how differently labs measure it. Overall thesis: attachment theory is not one unified paradigm. Check out this work of deep expertise.

@robbieduschinsky.bsky.social , who is not an active poster on BlueSky, wrote this beautiful piece about being an #attachment researcher and a father of a child with severe #disability. Sharing for other parents www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

#Attachment #MythBusting #31 – #AttachmentTheory versus #Nonattachment in #Buddhism Attachment theory and Buddhism - calling for “nonattachment” - don’t have anything in common. Or do they...? 👉🏻 pvrticka.com/attachment-m... @universityofessex.bsky.social

How do our brains and bodies support social learning in real time? We take an ecological and multimodal neuroscience approach to study mutual prediction and social coordination when learning with others. It took 5 full years for this one! Full open-access pre-print: osf.io/preprints/ps...

ResearchPlus - a new collaboration has been formed by 10 UK universities: "there is no collective voice or visibility for research-focused universities outside the Russell Group. Our collaboration seeks to address this & enable us to work better with each other & with existing groups"

Though AI helps, does it dull us over time? A study from MIT found that regular ChatGPT use weakens memory, focus, and brain activity. 83% couldn't quote their own text. Essays became repetitive. Researchers call it "cognitive debt"—a slow erosion of independent thinking. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872
