This advances our understanding of evidence-based meditations since this is not relaxation, attention training or regular mindfulness. This is radical contact with suffering and transforming it into compassion.
A skill that'd be super useful if you want to sustain someone but not break.

Key findings:
Tonglen seems to improve Hear-Rate Variability (HRV), compassion, positive affect and other variables. It's interesting EEG does not change. The brain sits still but the heart (literal and figurative) moves.
JUST ONE SESSION! 🤩
Nice to use beautiful graphs by @jaspstats.bsky.social

What we can do?
More studies! This scale is now accessible and we can use it in more studies and populations, helping future understanding and meta-analyses.
For people outside academia: Touch grass, meet people outside social media, do some exercise and consume culture in many different ways!

Why this matters: Problematic use isn’t just "screen time." It’s about why teens turn to social media. If it’s their main coping tool, risks spike. Interventions can target this potential mechanism. Also, commercial strategies to retain users as the only/main alternative increases harm

Seven domains appeared: If someone exagerates how social media helps them socialize, be informed, entertained, relieved, and self-expressed, they're likely vulnerable. Because they correlate with poor mental health and problematic use, specially if they overvalue for relief or entertainment

So what's overvaluation? It's when someone disproportionately believes social media is useful for:
✔️ Social interaction
✔️ Emotional relief
✔️ Self-expression
✔️ Fighting boredom
...even when it harms mental health.

Well, the boss is the State. They are not neutral and have unchecked control over the narrative apart from international politics, which is incredibly soft. So it's up to that particular State to respect unwanted findings. Imagine scientists accepting that as gold-standard quality

I'm not sure they're interested in facts as an ecosystem of knowledge when a huge apparatus of ideology or State interest is supervising and financing. I prefer to root for academics not dealing with marketeers of knowledge, personal profit or fame.

Im still getting conversation with colleagues with mind hardwired with this "first come first served" and "non-significant = bad" logic. I'm the weird one saying that our job is to know this for sure, not find sexy things

Well it was bigger in outreach that the one I could make, so thanks a lot! ☺️

yeah, this work was more about securing anchor points for de-stigmatization than advancing knowledge inside the community. Glad to see it came out as interesting!

Iba a decir lo mismo, que siempre fue a través de empresas capitalistas con los problemas propios de ellas, el más conocido el de Epstein. Simplemente ahora es "turbo". La lucha no ha cambiado de fondo pero si de forma y eso actually esta bien.

Maybe I'm just biased but I feel that we're playing on their (capitalist, populist) game: Adversarial parts are both wrong in their doing. We should aim to exit that since knowledge should be free and community must guarantee that. Like this ideas: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

También dejo uno mio donde hablo de estos temas (peor edición, la academia no da pa tanto):

Personalmente prefiero si todo esto de las editoriales explotadoras del trabajo de investigadores se caiga, con todos estos problemas incluidos. Viva el No-pay publishing: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
El conocimiento y la información debe ser libre porque nos hace libres. Punto.

Entonces, si hablamos de ello les damos gasolina a la desinformación (ej. JD Vance no diciendo nada correcto). Si no, funcionamos de manera oscurantista. Y por supuesto, cuesta más atribuir que este problema es fruto del capitalismo aplicado al conocimiento como una mercancía más.

También que estas críticas suelen sobregeneralizarse y disminuyen la confianza en la ciencia, dándole alas al negscionismo, la anticiencia y los demagogos varios: spb.psychopen.eu/index.php/sp...

Technical note: this was a nice dataset to use Bayesian SEM to test approximate invariance for our scales. Super useful for many groups and negligible differences. Alternatives like allignment method and frequentist app. invariance also promising!

While normally regarded as unrealistic, optimism correlated with risk perception and management, treatment adherence, personal control, and coherence. This seems reasonable since optimistic individuals would trust our best guesses on COVID (science) and its prescriptions to overcome and survive.

"adrift but hopeful" was my favorite title for a recent review we submitted
