How do immigration threat perceptions relate to policy preferences and political behaviour? @J.Dennison shows that threat perceptions are multidimensional, driven by threat sensitivity and migrant cues, shaping policy preferences and influencing behaviour indirectly.

Obligatory nod to the paper
@sociologylauren.bsky.social
and I wrote on the demographic differences in how people define concepts such as racism, sexism, and classism. In short, lots of disagreement on whether intentionality, power, and equality in treatment or outcome matter.

I feel like people who say this are unaware of the many other signals about their position in the hierarchy like…being over twice the staff’s age or being the one signing reference letters

This is why I keep saying that the attacks on American science are attacks on global science because another country is not stepping up to fill the void. China may decide to do so eventually but so far hasn’t indicated that it will.

And even if they weren't, US spending on academic R&D is more than 3x as much as the second-highest spender. The entire EU combined only spends ~25% more than the US despite having more than double the population. Nobody's swooping in to pick up the tab

And again, it's not that any of us, as faculty, staff, graduate students, or undergraduates, expected to win. It's that we expected our leaders to fight instead of putting their heads in the sand, or worse, actively collaborating.

“What we are seeing is a coordinated and well-resourced effort to roll back trans people’s rights and reshape public debate.” New research maps, for the first time, the rapid rise of ‘gender critical’ organisations alongside high volumes of anti-trans media coverage.

Our new pub is out! We argue that any future scholarship on the politics of inequality should center the people. We call this the PUBLIC framework (Pluralistic methods, UnBiased perspectives, Local dynamics, Intersectional understanding, & Critical of power).

Question for
#psych
#stats
people: Let's say we measure a construct (e.g., "A") using one questionnaire ("b") at some time points, and another questionnaire ("c") at another time point. Is there a way to test if they're measuring the same construct and is comparable (e.g., measurement invariance?)

1/ New @Nature! We study how powerful institutions shape the information environment for LLMs. Commercial LLM training is opaque, so we trace a path from state-coordinated media -> training data -> model responses.

If you can help, please do. And please listen to trans folk and give the support they state is going to be most helpful. If you’re giving to orgs, listen to trans folk and give to the orgs they state are actually helping. If you can’t give financial support share and boost stories.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

My only contribution to the X vs bsky discourse is that if you enjoy X so much, why are you on here trying to get people to go back and giving advice on how to not get targeted by alt-right trolls or Nazis? Just go enjoy X and let people who want to avoid alt right trolls and Nazis avoid them

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

I’d like to add something else to this convo: many of people who qualify for permanent residency in the United States would no longer qualify if they went home — because their existing visa is on the basis of refugee status (fear of home) or a job they’d lose. Like it’s absurd at every level.

you think the arxiv preprint ban is unfair because you shouldn't be expected to read everything you or your collaborators cite, I think its unfair because sometimes zotero doesn't update the metadata properly and i'm a little baby and shouldn't be expected to check ): we are not the same
