Behaviour doesn’t occur in a vacuum. If social media is meeting a need in young people’s lives, that need won’t just disappear if we ban the platforms. It will go unmet. We need to address the need, not just the tool.

CAMERON WILSON @cameronwilson.bsky.social · 11d

Australia's children's commissioner Anne Hollonds has seen "nothing" to address gaps in community and support left by the teen social media ban.

A year after first raising the alarm, Hollonds says we need to take a "good, hard look at the unmet needs" of vulnerable kids.

@jamiecummins.bsky.social and I are replicating Balcetis & Dunning's (2010) "chocolate is more desirable than poop" (Cohen's d = 4.52)

Let us known in the replies what effect size you think we'll find. Details of the study in the thread below.

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

Just a thought but academics on limited contracts doing major teaching and research load at universities want stability and transparent rules on job prospects not a “postdoc appreciation week” #ichbinhanna

I was thrilled to be invited to contribute to a forthcoming special issue for The Psychologist magazine called "Psychology needs a ... revolution".

I wrote about AI and its use in psychology: particularly how we can learn lessons from the past to avoid repeating old mistakes.

Psychology is in the midst of an AI revolution. But it’s not the one it needs, argues Jamie Cummins.

It does have overlaps with uses and gratifications research! It’s a shame it fell out of fashion. Hopefully our paper can help bring it back😉

Currently, although a lot of tech research touches on well-being, it’s (predominantly, not entirely) done by social psychologists or other researchers who likely wouldn’t have heard of functional analysis. So our goal was to help bridge this by bringing functional analysis to tech research

Sabrina Norwood @sabrinanorwood.bsky.social · Aug 25

I’m really happy to hear this! Functional analysis is an incredibly useful tool when it comes to behaviour change and it’s great that it’s starting to get more recognition

What if we thought about digital behaviour not in terms of the form that it takes but the psychological functions that it serves?

In this preprint we introduce technological behaviourism, a theoretical approach grounded in operant conditioning.
