I’ve been confused about what personality is and what personality inventories are trying measure, so I wrote a paper about it:

“In the famine seasons, sometimes everyone in the Kebele would get USAID for maybe two months or three months in a year. During this time, we had no food. This was our only access to food.” – Biri, from a Hamar village in Ethiopia. Biri is a student supported by @omovalleyresearchproject.org.

We are proud to announce support for #LA #MutualAid groups serving the 180,000 people displaced by the #LAFires! Over the past week we have organized a regular aid route that will deliver one full truck each week to sustain the local response. Help us keep it running: distributeaid.org/la-fires

Social cognition ppl: Is there a review/chapter on automatic social cognition that summarizes the current state of knowledge, correcting for findings that don’t replicate?

Anyone like open educational resources? 😅

I’m working on OER chapters for my personality psych class at CSU Fresno. This semester, I'm planning to post a new chapter to Merlot each week as the class progresses. I'd really appreciate any ideas for improving them! Since it's OER, you can remix and reuse as you please.

Decided it might be time to stop just lurking and engage a little more this year... So, hey Bluesky! Looking forward to hearing and sharing thoughts about evolutionary human sciences, status hierarchies, personality, causal inference, formal theory development in psychology, teaching, and R here.
