New #CanPsych meta-analysis.
Finds very little increase in social anxiety in Canadian undergraduates over past 2 decades.
(makes me ask: why does it SEEM that there is?)

I've had several prominent European researchers ask me:
"What's in the water in Canada? How come there's so much great research in psych there??"
Being Canadian, this shocks us.
We genuinely tend toward the "Who, us?" mindset, thinking no-one is noticing.

Brock University (Canada) Psychology Dept has a position open, for teaching-intensive, statistics-focused person.

I'm very sad to announce that Prof Stan Sadava (retired Professor of Psychology at Brock University) has passed away.
He was a well-known and widely-respected figure on the Canadian social psychology scene for decades.

Large-scale study by Gran-Ruaz et al finds US & Canada *comparable* in explicit & implicit racism.
(in Canada, we often hear that racism "is a US problem". Not true!)

Anyone (maybe @markrubin.bsky.social ?) know why Bluesky feeds can go empty?
#PrejudiceResearch & #CanPsych are now showing blanks (but didn't previously).
Do they expire?
Eating vegan due to cancer: A different social experience than other vegan dieters?
Meat-eaters are less negative toward vegans who are vegan because of their cancer diagnosis.
(shout-out to former PhD student Cara MacInnis!)

We need more research like this.
✅ anti-Indigenous bias as topic
✅ longitudinal experiments (!)
✅ compares different education themes

4-wave study on international students in Canada finds:
Psychosocial Adjustment ==> Acculturation to host society
(but not reverse)
If we help immigrants adjust, they'd acculturate better, it appears.
