Y'ALL
I'M HIRING A PSYCH FACILTY POSITION
Come work with wonderful students, kind colleagues, and a boss who I like to think is a decent human (it's me...I'm the boss😂)

This is what is ringing through my head when students seem shocked-- SHOCKED-- by how much getting sick interferes with their academic peformance (despite me having pretty permissive policies). You could just skip it all by wearing masks now and then!
A man linked to white supremacist movements pleaded guilty to burning the historic Highlander Center, where Rosa Parks attended a workshop on integration before her 1955 bus protest. In March 2019, the blaze destroyed decades of irreplaceable civil rights archives, artifacts, and history.
WTF, UChicago friends, they are implying that our campus free speech policies would endorse this! While I have my criticisms of how we manage student speech, it is in fact nothing like this.
Lady Ghostbusters is way better than original Ghostbusters.
“Why are teens taking over Hyde Park?”
Bc you cut basketball nets and removed hoops in their hoods? Bc you’ve banned/restricted them from your cafes and bookstores and restaurants? Bc they’re competing for jobs alongside adults like it’s the fucking Hunger Games?
Our friend's preteen is into Minecraft, DnD, and a selection of Twitch streamers curated by his dad to be age-appropriate, though I couldn't tell you which those are!
You are my hero!
Does anyone have advice sure creating anonymous OSF registration links under the site re-design? I can't seem to create one for my pre-registration, and the How-to guides seem to be for the old sitev design.
The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.
Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵:
These protests are important b/c:
1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah?
Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.
I mean, my primary motivation is that written responses looked dominated by ChatGPT, and recorded responses look human. I can check my Prolific bounce rates, because they were higher than usual, but not even close to 90-99%.
I'd argue that feeling like writing is acceptable whereas recording a video is not is reflective of a highly educated demographic for whom reflective, vaguely public writing is a common experience, whereas video might be more accessible and natural to people less likely to think through writing.
Sure, but this is also in place of the kinds of manipulations in which people are asked to do journal-style writing in response to a prompt. Demonstrably, participants don't like doing this, and often do it as little as possible or refuse to do it at all.
For what it's worth, we're only looking for voice to confirm that people are talking through the manipulation in question, so we tell people they can cover their camera or point it away from them. They are a subset of participants, though of course participants are also a subset of the population.
Following a recommendation from @mwkraus.bsky.social I've been having Ps record videos as part of manipulations. I do have a high bounce rate for Ps having tech problems, but I think data quality is much higher overall.
Level 3: Cancer who...?
To my knowledge, to this day the museum ends with a very vague message about smoking maaaaaybe causing some kind of health problems, a couple of big shrugging question marks, and a recommendaton to "Do all thing in moderation!" Excellent middle school class trip material!
Level 2: Working in the tobacco industry is great, apparently! Most of the museum featured various representations of cigarette factory workers talking about what a great job it was. Couldn't possibly want to regulate that!
Here's why not:
Level 1: Slavery apologism! When I was a kid, there was an animatronic slave who would talk to you happily about his job curing brightleaf tobacco! I went back as an adult and found they'd re-skinned and re-recorded him to be a White sharecropper.
This is a wild one, but Duke Homestead is the historic home of the Duke family (as in University), but outsiders may not know that the Duke family made their money via a tobacco monopoly.
Which means there is a free Tobacco History Museum on the property which teachers let us go to because why not?
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is seeking to fine big companies with workers on Medicaid.
Her plan would generate $145 million to offset the state's Medicaid costs.
Too often big corporations deny workers healthcare, and rely on the state to step in.

"How did they operationalize their variables?"
It's certaintly cynical that we all acknowledge we pay out-of-pocket to do our jobs. But I know I do, and I value a department that is more generous with little expenses like that one was.
I was starting to worry that UChicago students were losing their UChicago essence, but I just had to google some random Latin that a student stuck into their discussion paper, so at least some of them still have the juice!
I once had a department chair whose pitch was "You're going to spend money out-of-pocket on shit for your students anyways. If you give me that money upfront and then make a formal request for all the donuts or supplies or whatever, I can use it to to get matching funds."
Maybe this is an odd question, but can participants be outside of Canada?
There's currently an entire cottage industry of social psychologists showing that AI produces the same gender and racial biases as humans, which is pretty obvious given that its trained on human data.
From what I can tell, their writers read medical journals for plot lines. These applications developed from basic science research that predates actual medical use by about 10 years. So they don't predict the future, but the read the science that makes the future!
