🟠 Weekly Schedule - 2-8 March 2026 (all times UTC+0) 🟠 Unfortunately I won't be able to stream much due to personal obligations, but the stream is a good one!!! 📙 Saturday 7th at 17:00: Room reviews with @myelinachemon.bsky.social!! Can you make two psychologists say "wow bro you live like that?"

This is consistent with earlier psychometric work that suggests 5-7 is the best response scale options, but good to see that the finding holds up in contemporary research. Also, good to see that labeling scales whether anchored or not has little impact on findings. academic.oup.com/ijpor/articl...

The Big 5 test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology. Any psychologist will tell you, the Meyers-Briggs is mostly bullshit. powerofusnewsletter.com/p/why-are-we...

Social Identities Shape Belief in True & False Information In our new paper (N=1,459), people randomly assigned to a minimal groups were more likely to trust + believe ingroup members. This was only true among people who valued their ingroup or had a strong need to belong. osf.io/preprints/ps...
