My research shows that, generally, people perceive technology, including social media, as moderately to very addictive. But, what people mean by that is more up in the air, and doesn't always match how we think of substance use disorders (as you might hear in the video) www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on our NIH-funded R01 which is a longitudinal cohort of adolescents (13-20) doing EMA and passive text sensing! Please apply, especially if you have experience in the analysis OR collection of these data. PLEASE SHARE!! indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32132

Christmas cake designs this year, with support from my niece ❤️

Lab tie dye shirts! Screen printed and tie dyed by the students ❤️ This was such a fun lab activity!!

Bluey birthday cake for kiddo! This was a fun one.

We are hiring at Ohio University! We have several positions with open searches in the department because we are growing. Links and positions in thread. The psych department at OU is wonderful, as a newer faculty, I always felt supported and the area is beautiful!

Beaten to posting about it but had a good time talking about sports betting and the impacts in Ohio with Spectrum News. There is a lot we are working on in Ohio to try to better support those with gambling problems and the TEA Lab is continuing to do work in this area.

We are hiring a TT Assistant Professor (clinical area) at Ohio University!! Research programs related to child/adolescent clinical psychology, health psychology, transdiagnostic factors related to addiction and disordered eating, and assessment encouraged. www.ohiouniversityjobs.com/postings/55193

1/10 🧵 New research with Chris Floyd, Shane Kraus, and @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social ! We explored the relationship between concerns about compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and other addictive behaviors. Even when people don't meet clinical criteria, CSB concerns may signal broader addiction risks.

The Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science invites proposals regarding non-substance-related "addictive behaviors" for an upcoming special issue. Learn more: bit.ly/42eDp83 @aidangcw.bsky.social @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social @cassie-boness.bsky.social

So, if you have a little to spare and you want to help fund an organization that won't be cancelling any grants and is actually transforming people's lives, including this guy's, please donate at the links below and share widely!

We are looking for individuals with lived experience of gambling problems to collaborate with us in shaping and interpreting gambling research. We are particularly interested in those who live in rural, Appalachian areas. Please share widely! research.ohio.edu/tealab

Students were fantastic. Thoughtful, respectful, and asked great questions! Hope remains.

Today in my undergrad psychopathology class we will be talking about how culture impacts mental health and the science around that. I have never before been quite so invested in a class!

Folks. We need federal oversight and research funding for sports gambling. Or, like, we need to close pandora’s box and make mobile betting illegal again.

I mean… the alcohol research world has pointed this out for, idk, a few decades, odd that it’s making headlines now, but of course it’s carcinogenic

The finished product

Sledders and igloo almost ready!

Getting there with the sledders!

The first attempts at a snow globe went ok

The winning Christmas cake design that I will be making this year for family Christmas: "An igloo and 4 sledders sledding down with snow, the igloo, some snowflakes, inside the snow globe."

And suddenly he is 3! I'm proud of this cake

Heading into the third week in a row of a kid with a fever. Always 3 days in between, enough to feel like we are free again...

Relatedly working with me in the office today!

My kids are my superpower and my kryptonite. I am more efficient and aware of the world and my work is more value-driven because of them. I am also more forgetful and unavailable and my work is slower because of them. Also I will always pick them first.

Hey everyone, i created an addiction starter pack and I am sure I am missing folks - please send me a note to get added. go.bsky.app/KVDa5PD

My toddler seems to think I'm going to cave to peer pressure since he now says to us "Oh, Come on guys!!" whenever we say no to treats.

Conferencing with the four months old!

Toddler is trying to coach our 3 month old to take deep breaths because we are almost there in the car. ❤️ Parenting win! Also, not working.

It has to be a space cake when you decorate with the toddler!

For anyone in clinical psych programs which changed their cip code to a stem code to allow international students 2 years opt, which code did you use?
