The framing around 'stricter age restrictions' feels disproportionate considering the magnitude of the effects.

I ran some rough calculations: Cohen's d ≈ 0.059 and 0.114 for the group comparisons on the cognitive composite measure.

Over the last 3 years I've been collecting resources to share with people interested in data freelancing. I've recently compiled those resources in a GitHub Repository.

If you are interested in data freelancing, these resources may help you navigate that transition.

Honestly? That would be amazing.

Cheers to that. 🥛

Outside of PR, I have noticed students will add a read receipt on an e-mail to a professor, and I feel that crosses the line, too. People need to learn some basic e-mail etiquette.... #1: Just because you send an e-mail does not mean someone is obligated to respond. Full stop. #2: Ban read receipts.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

We're looking for an experimental psychologist in Witten. Contact me if you have questions about the job (I'm not on the commission, so can talk freely :-)

A few suggestions:
-The Expanse (as others noted)
-Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (fantasy/detective series in Chicago, great audiobooks)
-Replay by Ken Grimwood (sci-fi from the 80s that makes you think a lot after reading it)
-Star Wars novels (e.g.,
Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes)

If you're teaching about lifespan personality development, and you want to include Bleidorn + colleagues (2022) meta-analysis, I made some prettier plots than the ones in our paper. (Y axis is cohen's d)

(Alternately, if you've never read our paper, check out these plots!)

Ah, I just covered this in class last Wednesday! I'll be sure to save them for next time that I teach my personality class. Thanks for sharing these!!

A targeted surveillance use, yes. Especially as there has been an uptick in pedestrian and cyclists getting injured or dying by cars (at least here in Ottawa, but I think it is also common elsewhere).

Actions speak louder than words. He made his views on transit quite clear by his actions an his words now won't change that.

Congrats--this looks super cool! I look forward to reading it when I have a chance and adding it to my lecture for my Social & Personality Development class next term. Thanks for sharing!

✨✨ New paper out in JPSP! ✨✨

Despite rich theory on links between temperament and personality, they're rarely studied together. This has left major unaddressed questions.

We tackled these questions by looking at how temperament and personality develop together from ages 10-26.

Brief thread...

Interested in models used to estimate lagged effects in panel data? We (@rebiweidmann.bsky.social, Hyewon Yang) have a new paper looking at patterns of stability and their implications for bias and model choice: osf.io/preprints/ps... [1/x]

Submissions are now open for 22nd European Conference on Personality (Edinburgh, 2026); deadline 7/12/25.
Keynote speakers and pre-conference workshops have also been confirmed.

No surprise, but they sold out of all their merch!

I'm looking for a PhD student to do some trailblazing at the frontier of personality genomics and lifespan gene-environment transactions (start Fall 2026)! If you want to work with me: psychology.msu.edu/graduatestud...
(PS @drmeltemyucel.bsky.social is taking a student too, in moral psych/dev!)

All that said, I try to support journalism in other ways when possible, whether it is citing sources, linking to work, or paying for subscriptions to certain platforms when I can (which also gets rid of the ads, usually). But the reliance on the ad model is going to reach a breaking point.

I agree, and a related point is how ads can interfere with accessibility. VGC isn't terrible with their ads, but some sites have pop ups that block most of my screen (especially on my phone), and then the ads are hard to close. I can't read the article with my disability even if I wanted to.

We are still looking for participants, so please continue to share this flyer with any Carleton students (undergraduate or graduate). The flyer with the ALT text is the second post in the original post.

Here is the image with alt text. Sorry for not including the alt text before!
