📣📣 Check out a recent article on "Theory of Mind Development in Middle Childhood and Adolescence" by Qiuyi Kong and colleagues in JCD! Both ToM accuracy and preference for mental state reasoning continue to develop from middle childhood to adulthood. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

📣📣 A recent article in the Journal of Cognition Development! How Often Do Verbs Co-occur with Relevant Events? Examining Parent and Toddler Speech in Latin America and the US by Priscilla Tovar-Perez et al. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

That advisory note is outrageous!!!! 😡😡😡

This is absolutely grotesque. They can change whatever webpages they want, but they can't change history, nor can they erase the existence of trans people.

"Anger, despair, and defiance from a voice within the US federal research system" -- letter published anonymously in The BMJ... what unbelievable times we're living through www.bmj.com/content/388/...

📣📣 A recent article in the Journal of Cognition Development! Emily Foster Hanson, Katherine M. Ziska & Marjorie Rhodes found that common conceptual biases from cultural input may shape U.S. children’s idealized biological prototypes @marjorierhodes.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Let's keep track of where progress is made! (and lost!) #womeninscienceday Women and men earn degrees in some STEM fields at about the same rate now. But in physics, engineering, & CS, the representation gap is closing at elite schools and widening elsewhere. www.science.org/stoken/autho...

AERA and COPAFS have issued a statement on the sudden termination of 169 contracts within IES, including those that NCES holds for the collection and reporting of education statistics. Read the full statement: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

This TICS paper turned out to be unexpectedly timely... We could have called it "Why DEI and Merit Go Hand in Hand" given recent developments... Valuing diversity and excellence/merit aren't opposing forces -- they're complementary.

📣📣 Check out a recent article published in the Journal of Cognition Development by Jessica N. Steil & Claudia K. Friedrich! 2-year-olds link nouns to typical space (e.g., moon to an upward space), showing early language-space associations! #language #space www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🚨 ICYMI, the CDC has removed its data (incl. the Youth Risk Behavior Survey or YRBS) from its website. 👉 Someone has archived them, and you can download them here: archive.org/details/2025...

New paper! @katiemcauliffe.bsky.social + @andreicimpian.bsky.social Men tend to ask for higher salaries and more promotions for themselves than do women. We examined kids' beliefs about negotiation and how they may contribute to developing gender differences in negotiation doi.org/10.1037/dev0...

❓What are young children's beliefs about ability like? The fabulous Melis Muradoglu led us to an enlightening new answer 👇 Journal: doi.org/10.1037/dev0... Free pdf: drive.google.com/file/d/1egk9...

🪞Are narcissists happy or unhappy? Our cross-cultural meta-analysis shows that grandiose narcissists experienced greater well-being, especially in more individualistic countries. By contrast, vulnerable narcissists experienced poorer well-being. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New study with @drmcquillan.bsky.social - suicidal ideation in HS girls rose, from 23% in 2015 to 29% in 2021 - Girls' LGBQ identification rose 15% -> 34% To address suicidality, reduce stressors on LGBQ youth, now over 1/3 of HS girls @aeraedresearch.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

New @brookings.edu post on the widening gender gap in engineering at computer science at the least selective universities and what it means for women's economic advancement. Co-authored with @joalkhafajiking.bsky.social www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

Why is the belief in meritocracy so pervasive? New article argues that the dose–response schema for causes and effects may encourage us to believe that what we get out of life depends on what we put in: "More effort = more success!" doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... #SocialPsyc #CogPsyc #AcademicSky 🧪

👋 New paper in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social: "Why the belief in meritocracy is so pervasive" I learned a lot from my co-authors, a fabulous group of experts on meritocratic beliefs 👇 Fun fact: This paper grew out of a 2023 symposium at @easpinfo.bsky.social in Krakow. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Very excited to share our new paper on mixed mindset messages recently published in Motivation Science! psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/... (with the fabulous @julieasievers.bsky.social @katiekroe.bsky.social and @canning.bsky.social) /1

New to Bluesky! KiDLAB studies children’s developing self-views. We are committed to using developmental science to address social problems, such as inequality in education. Here, we will post about our KiDLAB research and citizen science projects with children. Check out our work: kidlab.nl

Generics seem to be normative in a very specific sense I think that understanding this special kind of normativity is key to making progress on a whole bunch of different issues in cognitive science xphi.net/2024/12/23/i...

Social identity complexity is positively related to universal cooperation (& negatively related to parochialism) Diverse identities allow people to assess situations from different perspectives, reducing bias & enhancing intergroup understanding + communication www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to have this paper out there (and even more excited to have it open access)! We used mixed-methods to expand on prior field-specific ability beliefs work and to challenge our own theoretical assumptions about these associations. Glad to have gotten to be a part of this team! 🎉

New paper in Cognitive Psychology with first author Vivian Liu! We investigate U.S. children's and adults' perceptions of discrimination. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kEp32Hxod...

🔬 Major new findings on STEM gender gaps: Looking across institutions over time, physics, engineering & computer science (PECS) show stark divides—gaps are closing at selective colleges but widening elsewhere. w/ @joalkhafajiking.bsky.social [<--🌟 on the job market 😉] www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
