🧠🌍 New in advances.in/psychology!
How does anxiety about the future shape young people’s politics? A UK–Greece study finds that future anxiety links to stronger democratic support — but among young men, it’s also tied to more right-conservative views.

Retorikken rundt LLM ser ut til å være mer finansiell fantasi enn empirisk faktum; imponerende språk, sparsom produktivitet—keiseren har fortsatt ikke fått på seg arbeidsklær. Sett med mine teknolog-øyne ikke overraskende. Glimrende innlegg av @kunstjonas.bsky.social

KI er keiserens nye klær

Løftet var todelt: en produktivitetsrevolusjon for næringslivet og en teknologisk snarvei til å løse menneskehetens store utfordringer. Begge deler viser seg nå å være en illusjon.

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: Innvandrere er mer åpne for #psykisk #helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv.

🇬🇧 New op-ed: Migrants in Norway are more open to #mental #healthcare than we assume – and than migrants themselves assume.

Innvandrere er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv

Hvis mange med innvandringsbakgrunn i realiteten er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn de gir uttrykk for, ligger løsningen kanskje i å synliggjøre denne tause åpenheten.

This new study reveals that using bivariate proxies to test interaction effects in meta-analyses systematically inflates effect sizes—clarifying why earlier syntheses, including those assessing the acculturation “integration” hypothesis, overstated their conclusions.
