🚨 A new episode is out! Lisanne de Moor spoke with incoming editor-in-chief Matthias Ziegler and outgoing editor-in-chief @renemottus.bsky.social about the change in editorship at the European Journal of Personality and how they reflect on and look ahead at their time in the role of Editor-in-Chief.

Out today, our method for comparing multivariate genetic architecture across groups of people, called Genomic Structural Invariance: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (feat: @tuckerdrob.bsky.social @michelnivard.bsky.social @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social @mijke.bsky.social @jorsmo.bsky.social et al.)

let’s drink shame upon all cowards! I name no names. Shame upon them!

New commentary in American Psychologist with the legendary @jadler.bsky.social on posttraumatic growth: why all parts of it can use some revision (like those suggested by others in this issue!), and why it's a fool's errand to predict PTG before it happens. doi.org/10.1037/amp0... (open access!!)

Going to @spspnews.bsky.social this week? Come check out the work my lab is doing! #SPSP2024 ☀️

Ways you can tell the rapper is British: 1) accent 2) minimum one incredibly corny bar that makes you need to turn off the song

My undergrad methods class is so well calibrated. 48% of the 300ish students claim to be "a better driver than the average person." Also, every one of them marked "yes" to "I have told a lie at some point in my life" (the correct, honest response) (6 think they can beat a bear in a fight)

You saw the headline, now look at what happened when scientists actually evaluate the headline

Our paper on genetic transmission and genetic nurture effects on conduct problems is now published in Molecular Psychiatry! This version includes new analyses www.nature.com/articles/s41... a 🧵 1/6

🚨 NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨 Our new paper (led by the amazing Onnie Rogers) explores whether and how Black and White parents talked with their children about Black Lives Matter following the summer of 2020. psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

SPSP is approaching! If any grad students or postdocs would like to chat, email me! Happy to grab a coffee. Feel free to pass along this invite to people not on BlueSky Email located here: tbslaboratory.com/authors/bran...

The @nytimes.com's Nick Confessore with the smoking gun. The people directing all the attacks on universities over CRT, DEI, "wokeism," and antisemitism are: 1) shockingly racist and sexist 2) liars 3) admit they want to ban liberal ideas and professors. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Happy to share my first first-author paper recently accepted at JPSP! osf.io/j3vp9 We ask: Do people blame current groups for the atrocities committed by their ancestors? If yes, when/why? We address these using repeated measures surveys and conjoint experiments.1/

Every. time.

Come for the figure of a hotdog on a skewer, stay for a method that uses genetic data to actually falsify latent variables! Maggie's first first-author pub, btw 😎

An Israeli history teacher was arrested on treason charges, his home was ransacked by police, and he was held in solitary confinement for Facebook posts critical of Israel's military action and civilian deaths in Gaza.

Scholars of color have always been telling anyone who will listen how violently racist white Americans still are, but they’ve been dismissed as exaggerators & alarmists by everyone including normie liberals (in academia too). LISTEN. LEARN. THEN FIX IT.

An employee in the back of this Popeyes has been singing, pretty dang loudly, for the entire time I've been here. She's got pipes! Respect.

Regardless of income, all mothers in Flint, Michigan can now receive $1,500 mid-pregnancy, followed by $500 a month for 12 months after their child is born. This is the most universal of any guaranteed income program so far, with zero means-testing.

New Music Friday: Ariana Grande is giving "dancing in the street" vibes, weirdly corny. new Lil Nas X is essentially a remix of Kendrick's Humble. New Teezo Touchdown and Bizzarap: that's where the innovation lies. The Castellows - Hurricane is a great new bluegrass number about N'Orleans.

New blog post in which I discuss measurement invariance from a causal perspective. Come for the amateurish featured image (who needs photoshop anyway), stay for fancy Pooh as figure label. Bonus: You'll finally understand the different levels of invariance (I hope). www.the100.ci/2024/01/10/a...

We are hiring a postdoctoral fellow! Roman Kotov and I are launching the 35-year follow-up of the Suffolk County Mental Health Project, the longest-running longitudinal psychosis study in the world. We are thrilled to be recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to be part of this wave. [1/5]

Just learned that Robert (Bob) Rosenthal passed away a few days ago. He was a legend and a true pioneer in the field. I never got to meet him (he was my grad school advisor's advisor) but I co-authored the mini meta paper with him, which is my proudest academic accomplishment.

Formally censuring the Livonia, Michigan Trader Joe's for blasting Black Eyed Peas - "I Gotta Feeling" at 8:10am on a Sunday. TJ you've been notified!

It's so crazy that at one time the person named "Gary Oldman" was a baby

Lots of life-things happening for me these days—yesterday, I moved into my office and lab at UCRiverside, and today, a paper that lays out the next years of my research program came out: “Studying Personality and Social Structure” compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Claudine Gay’s resignation arises from a blatant attempt by the extreme right to pit Black and Jewish Americans against each other. The far right gains power by doing so because it serves their culture war agenda. As a Jewish American, this frightens and infuriates me. We are stronger together.

Bo Winegard wrote an article defending "race realism" that was so bad it got me to write a blog post for the first time in 2 years. And because it's my birthday tomorrow you all have to read it, as a gift to me.

As a personality change researcher, I get real excited about New Year's resolutions. Heres mine: - read the Quran - do 1000 pushups in January - learn how to use my film camera WHAT ARE YOURS?

Breaking News: The U.S. is on track for a record decline in homicides in 2023, according to FBI data, after they rose sharply during the pandemic. Many other categories of crime are also in decline.

Here is my (open access) inaugural editorial for the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science (formerly Journal of Abnormal Psych). In it I lay out my editorial priorities and some changes in policy. 1/6 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
