Trying to find the Latinx psych folks here… LMK if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/77ZBUCn

A start on who to follow for the science on social media and adolescent mental health! Who else is here? go.bsky.app/2PqckAy

Help me welcom @carlygray.bsky.social to Bluesky. Carly is doing her PhD at the interACTlab working with ABCD data to investigate the association of greenspace, mental health and screen use in youth!

I honestly should have seen this coming, but if you are running surveys with open ended questions be careful! We got some Chat-GPT crafted answers in a recent survey asking about the pros and cons of phones in schools! We now learned how to block copy-pasting into Qualtrics.

"It is as though we give ourselves permission to acknowledge the power of adolescent love in stories, but cannot acknowledge it publicly about ourselves." My article about teenage love now online www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

My first starter pack! Adolescence is all about exploration and learning, right? 😅 For researchers studying #adolescence from all angles (biology, brain, mental/physical/global health, cognitive/social/identity development, YPAR, PYD, education, etc.)! Reply if you want to join! go.bsky.app/HzkrXH8

Enjoy this pack of #Data Ladies to help diversify your feeds a smidge 😉 It is quite bare bones at the moment but I'll continue to curate over the coming days ✨ go.bsky.app/5388qNY

Very interesting paper on computational model of social media likes in adolescence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I talked to a lot of apple researchers for this story, and do you know who loves their jobs? Apple researchers. They have made the world more delicious! 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/appl...

Developmental Psychology starter pack! I've included people doing child/adolescent research and as well as a few lifespan folks. Please share widely, and let me know if there is anyone who should be added! go.bsky.app/ECJtpXi #DevPsych #DevSci #PsychSciSky

Delighted to share that this paper has been published! We investigated the trajectories of symptoms of anxiety, depression, loneliness and life satisfaction among low-and-middle income Peruvian adolescents during 2 years of remote schooling in the pandemic www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Do we have good and bad days for cognitive performance? Our new preprint, led by Michael Aristodemou, set to find out, testing day-to-day stability of working memory (n=4150;t =1,048,576) and nonverbal reasoning performance (n=449;t=454,913) using hierarchical modeling osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thrilled to share this commentary by members of the International Committee of @SRAdolescence. We reflect on the path to our proposal of a Special Issue on the Majority World for JRA as part of a broader need to lower barriers to research and publication for scholars from the MW.
