Why do kids hit? The psychology behind childhood aggression YouTube video by Erinn Acland, PhD

I recently made a video on the psychology of childhood aggression.

Animated, written, researched, and narrated by me—it was a big undertaking! Features some of my own research, but also many others'. Excited to share it finally 🎉

Our new paper is out in PLOS Biology! I'm very conflicted about the project: proud because it feels like the most important project I've ever been a part of, but also very sad that we found so many problems in our field.

Peer reviewers more likely to approve articles that cite their own work Preprint examines how citations can influence the review process.

📑 Peer review and citations

A preprint study of 18,400 articles finds reviewers are more likely to approve papers that cite their own work. Raises concerns about fairness and citation pressure in publishing.

Committing research fraud is easy. Let’s make it harder. originally published by The Chronicle of Higher Education as “How to Stop Academic Fraudsters” (I didn’t choose that title) “Hi Alex, this is not credible.” I’ll never forget that…

"Errors will always occur, but they are less likely to cause long-lasting damage if someone can check for them, [...] more researchers should be writing their articles [...] so that the calculations [...] can be checked." - @alexh.bsky.social

Hey folks: A little while aback, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social and I created a repository of SOPs to help folks prepare for grad applications.

If you'd like to add your SOP, feel free to use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Of note, mask as you desire as I will be posting them as is.

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

Dual harm youth (1%) showed high levels of callousness and negative emotions. Aggression profiles (11%) showed moderate levels of callousness and negative emotions. Suicidality profiles (9%) showed low callounsness, moderate anger, and high anxiety/depression symptoms.

Early life low income, a deviant best friend, being male, and low positive parenting were associated with youth profiles showing moderate to high aggression. Early life paternal depression symptoms, being female, and low positive parenting were associated with youth profiles showing primarily suicidality.

Youth showing high aggression AND suicidality (dual harm; 1%) may experience the highest levels of early life adversity; they were also more etiologically similar to youth showing only aggression than those showing primarily suicidality. They also show high negative emotionality and callousness. /5

Youth showing aggression reported more callousness, they also had lower incomes and more a more deviant best friend early in life. Some youth showing primarily elevated suicidality had fathers with more depressive symptoms during their childhood. /4

Youth showing either aggression or suicidality tended to report more negative emotionality (anger, anxiety, depression symptoms) and experienced less positive parenting in childhood. /3

Most adolescents showed low aggression and suicidality (~80%). Of those that exhibited harm, most showed either primarily high aggression or suicidality—only 1% of all youth showed high levels of both. 🧵 /2

Most adolescents showed low aggression and suicidality (~80%). Of those that exhibited harm, most showed either primarily high aggression or suicidality. One percent of all youth showed high levels of both. Low harm youth tended to report less negative emotionality and experienced more positive parenting in childhood. Youth showing aggression reported more callousness, they also had lower incomes and more a more deviant best friend early in life. Some youth showing primarily elevated suicidality had fathers with more depressive symptoms during their childhood.

👉 Newly published! 👈

Suicidality and aggression are related, leading causes of youth death.

Our study looked at how often these forms of harm co-occur in youth and what these harm profiles look like emotionally and etiologically.

Resharing in light of the PCI statement on Wiley's attitude towards preprinting and innovation.

osf.io/tn8mh

In our second blog post about Papercheck, we demonstrate some modules that check for @apajournals.bsky.social‬ JARS, such as reporting exact p-values and including effect sizes with inferential tests.

In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.

NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social
