To help instructors diversify course content, we’re building a database of articles focused on the relationship experiences of marginalized and underrepresented populations. Do you have any to recommend (perhaps one you’ve written yourself or read recently)? Recommend it here: tinyurl.com/IARRrecs

If you're using GPT to collect or analyze data from human subjects, this means that OpenAI might now be retaining your participants' data indefinitely.

Did your participants consent to this? Does your IRB protocol allow OpenAI to retain participant data? If not, then you might be in breach. 4/

There is a NSF FAQ includes questions like: "Can I still work with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs)" and "There are still gaps in the achievements of certain groups of people. Can we still research those?"

I’m so excited to share our new paper in JPSP from me, @lydiaemery.bsky.social, @emmamcgorray.bsky.social, Wendi Gardner, & @elijfinkel.bsky.social!

Searching for power analysis tips! I want to run a study with a 2x2 between-subjects design. Within each condition, I want participants to evaluate 4 random stimuli, drawn from a larger pool of stimuli. Is my best bet simulation or are there other options I'm not thinking of?
