Adopted and donor-conceived children were way less likely to confound nature and nurture than traditionally-conceived kids (ages 4 to 8).
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And this difference wasn’t explained by differences in parents.

Kudos to #KatyMilkman for reminding us to ask people for action plans. ;)
For baseball fans: research suggests complaining to umps gets you more favorable calls.
"After being excessively criticized, home-plate umpires (N = 110 adults, employed in the United States) were less likely to call strikes to batters from the complaining team and more prone to call strikes to batters on the opposing team."

The "you are not immune to false information" effect:
"Results indicated participants were able to detect outliers. Nevertheless, participants’ estimates were still biased in the direction of the outlier, even when they were most certain that they detected invalid information. ... These findings suggest that individuals may incorporate invalid information they meant to ignore when forming beliefs."
Interesting new study in Psych Science:
"inhibitory control predicted a shared or general psychopathology dimension, but not ADHD-specific, anxiety-specific, or irritability-specific dimensions. Inhibitory control also showed a significant, selective association with global efficiency in a frontoparietal control network delineated during resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging."

Sorry, I'm interested because I'm hoping such research will lead to better information about the treatment of PTSD and cPTSD but I'm more of an end user than someone knowledgeable on the subject so I'm probably missing loads.
7/7 Once we conclude the course, I plan to write a blog on my experience and make our materials available on my website. 🥳 #mentorship #psychscience #undergradresearch
I wrote about the importance of centering the health, wellbeing, and agency of PhD students for #nature #psychology
In the short piece I frame the problem and then provide examples for what a healthy PhD might look like. See here: #psychscience

So cool seeing everyone migrating over or at least giving this prehistoric animal app a try.
Someone should really start a #psychology, #psychscience, or #psychmethods server so we can all reconnect (and I can leech knowledge from all of you lol). Honestly, I would do it but I don’t know where to start and $$$
