Have you been thinking about "Other" in survey construction and research? Open-ended responses offer flexibility, adapt to evolving identity language, and are less challenging to use for analyses than often assumed. Practical suggestions included: compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Had a lovely time presenting to @femquant.bsky.social about how reflexivity in quantitative researcher may improve transparency and rigour. We talked about how open science frames "bias" as a problem to be stamped out, but feminist epistemological approaches offer a different (more nuanced) take

We found that, coinciding with the #COVID19 pandemic, #lifesatisfaction levels of British adults in their 50s reached their lowest levels in 25 years of follow-up data, and that declines were larger in women, who lost their pre-pandemic advantage over men.

📰 Our latest study, “Gender inequalities in the disruption of long-term life satisfaction trajectories during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of time use: evidence from a prospective cohort study”, has just been published in BJPsych Open! doi.org/10.1192/bjo....

Tomorrow!!
