Grateful to have played a small role in this enterprise! Go read these papers!

I also do references by hand! I use Zotero only for metascience project management

Why are some males caring toward infants while others are neglectful or abusive? I'm so pleased to share work that my colleagues and I @princeton.edu have just published @nature.com (an explanatory thread to follow!) (1/8)

Pseudo Effects: How Method Biases Can Produce Spurious Findings About Close Relationships - Samantha Joel, John K. Sakaluk, James J. Kim, Devinder Khera, Helena Yuchen Qin, Sarah C. E. Stanton, 2025 Research on interpersonal relationships frequently relies on accurate self-reporting across various relationship facets (e.g., conflict, trust, appreciation). Y...

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

As you may know, my PhD adviser Sam Sommers passed away suddenly. He was an incredible mentor and teacher and spent all of his time helping others. I am asking you all to help his wife and daughters during this tragic time which has created financial hardships. Thank you. ❤️

🚨 New study alert! We're excited to share our "Bestiary of Questionable Research Practices in Psychology" in #AMPPS. We tackle the credibility crisis in research by defining, collecting, and categorizing QRPs using a community consensus method. 🧵#OpenScience #QRPs @psychscience.bsky.social

Yes I am a member! Thank you Geoff! 🙏

Will look into these—thank you!

Pls repost: I am preparing a new undergrad course on the psych of social interactions, and I need your help! Do you have materials from courses on related topics (e.g., social perception, conversation science, communication, interpersonal processes) you can share w/ me? My DMs are open—many thanks!

CONGRATS MELTEM YUHHHHH!!!

How can we regulate empathy wisely to maintain our well-being while providing support to the target of empathy? I tackle this question in my dissertation "Wise Empathy and Well-being", which is now published: www.proquest.com/docview/3128....

Two legends 😍

I am so glad to see this, Linda! I have had an intuition just like your finding in my backlog of research ideas for YEARS, and I am thrilled to cross it out with a paper that appears to support it in such interesting and expansive ways. Can't wait to dig in. What herculean effort, too—big congrats!

📯Last week to register for my Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling workshop on May 28-30!

I cover 4 of 5 types of stability/change: structural, differential, normative, and individual change in panel data (2-10ish waves)

Please share!

Leaving is also perfectly reasonable! I don’t think anyone owes the field to try.

I decided to stay in part b/c on my optimistic days, I believe our field grows & matures from these challenges, & that there's a healthy version of this process. I also believe that I can constructively contribute. But some days I feel more pessimistic. So far, most days are optimistic days. 2/2

I did know when I was in training, and it was challenging. Field leaders seemed to disagree on what is real, what counts as good science, and who gets the decide. Add those disagreements on top of all the uncertainties and instabilities that typically accompany the training...it was a lot. 1/2

Congrats! I anticipate needing to remind myself of the implication from Study 6 in the future 😆

A win is a win!!

not you flexing your 100% interview acceptance rate on us 😅

You blasted through the interviews faster than the rest of us mortals 🥹

I interviewed for grad school 10 years ago. Nearly all programs I interviewed started with a pre-interview interview (phone calls)!

Seems relevant to our project @leifdanderson.bsky.social!

Thank you! Also I will get back to you by the end of today re: SPSP hotel!

Ooo I’m gonna download a Kindle sample!

Is the book good? I came across it yesterday
