A pair of posts to ponder...In one study, adding income to infants didn't affect child development outcomes over 2 years. In another, adding additional income to adults did improve several variables 🤷‍♂️ (Plus, please enjoy our new blog design!) everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/10/does...

@pewilliams.bsky.social has great explainers--I've used almost all of them in my undergraduate RM course!

Are you going to NITOP 2026? We still have room for more Demo Demo and Teaching Slam proposals! We’ve received some excellent proposals but still have an opening or two in both the Teaching Slam and Demo Demo presentations.

The NITOP deadline for Demo Demo and Teaching Slam proposals is coming up: September 1! I bet you have something amazing to share! nitop.org/Proposals

New cross-lag example! Great if you are teaching Chapter 9! www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/08/soci...

Potential grad applicants: I'm hoping to take 1-2 new students this cycle! There's no need to email me in advance unless you have specific questions that aren't answered on the lab or psych department's website - everyone's applications will be considered equally. u.osu.edu/mattlab/2025...

This site helps people find radio stations hit by the public media funding cuts--in addition to your home outlets, people might consider donating to rural stations as they will be hit much harder than urban public radio adoptastation.org

Joint blog post by @bmorling.bsky.social and @notawfuljess.bsky.social! Find tips to teach ethics, methods, and self-correction using the story of 19 Black New Orleanians’ skulls stolen in the 1880s for racist pseudoscience www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/07/repa... #PsychSci #AcademicSky

Guess what? @notawfuljess.bsky.social and I did a joint blog post 😀 You can use it to teach ethics, scientific self-correction, NHST, human rights violations, & more. We both hope you find it useful. www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/07/repa...

We're hiring! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30219 The Cornell Department of Communication is hiring an Assistant Professor in Science, Environment, and Risk Communication! Applications received by September 15, 2025, will be given full consideration.

Thanks to Steve Chew (@schewpsych.bsky.social) for sharing the best examples. This story--on the link between smartphone use and hemorrhoids--can help you teach Ch 8 or 9 (bivariate and multivariate correlation) or even Ch 14 (potential p-hacking): www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/07/clai...

The latest US national news on placebo-controlled studies provides an excellent opportunity to talk about both placebos and ethics in your RM class. Here are some ideas to frame that discussion: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/06/the-...

I'm looking for a new Lab Manager to join me, my amazing incoming PhD students @isabellafavalos.bsky.social and @maceygrisso.bsky.social, and our fantastic undergraduate RAs in the Emotional Lives Lab at UC Riverside. Sharing would be much appreciated! jobsportal.ucr.edu/jobs/35754189

Auto manufacturers are going back to using some buttons and dials (rather than all-touchscreen). This post shows how three concepts from Chapter 6 (surveys, observational studies, focus groups) all helped support this decision. www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/06/touc...

Both curiosity and personal connection can help us change minds. www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/05/chan...

Here's an easy-to-understand example for teaching correlational research: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/05/emoj...

A new Teaching Current Directions introduces students to the concept of developmental cascades with a lesson plan about gahvoras, wooden baby cradles used in homes in Tajikistan. @bmorling.bsky.social #Teaching #Psychology

To review and apply reasoning in a RM course, students can read about experimentally-tested ways to change people's minds. (Maybe it will make the world a better place....) www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/05/chan...

This article offers a simple experiment for teaching RM, with the secret feature of introducing students to a powerful theory of motivation in psychology. It improve students' ability to acheive their goals, and make a difference! www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/04/the-...

Here's a nice new example if you're teaching multiple regression (Ch 9)! www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/04/chil...

I've posted a replication update about Chapter 14's example of the Muller-Lyer illusion: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/04/repl... Thanks to @hilarybarth.bsky.social for the heads-up!

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

Facilitated Communication is not dead. In fact, in the popular podcast "the telepathy tapes," FC's major flaw is actually being interpreted as telepathy. Use this episode to introduce the difference between science and intuition when you teach Research Methods: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Do you teach research methods? Here's an example you can use to teach a repeated measures design: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2025/02/the-...

For teaching experiments (Ch 10) this term, you might consider this concurrent measures design on chimps and bonobos: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2024/01/bono...

And also, if you're preparing to teach RM this spring, here is an updated list of empirical articles that are student-friendly! www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2019/11/upda...

Are you preparing to teach research methods this spring? In case you haven't seen it, here's my annotated catalog of the Netflix show, 100 Humans--Clips you can use when you teach the course! Most are short and very engaging: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2020/06/teac...

Are you starting Chapter 12 this week (like I am?) If so, here's a nice example of a study that moves from a one-IV design to a factorial design: www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2023/11/it-m... Features work by Deborah Ward, Zaviera Panlilio, and Lora Park
