Happy birthday, Cat!

Thanks for your question! We mean positive vs negative emotions. If you’re interested, we do have a pre-print available: osf.io/preprints/ps....

I’ll be talking about the asymmetric relationships between psychopathy and positive/negative empathy (though the analyses diverge from this abstract)! :-)

Excited to share my recent first-author publication!

I only know the lyrics to sweet caroline because of the years i spent post-high school, pre-college as a ballet dancer in Pittsburgh !

I’ve watched Sam give two talks about this topic (once as a first year grad student which was extremely formative for my research trajectory). Very excited to see this in print!

Pseudo Effects: How Method Biases Can Produce Spurious Findings About Close Relationships - Samantha Joel, John K. Sakaluk, James J. Kim, Devinder Khera, Helena Yuchen Qin, Sarah C. E. Stanton, 2025 Research on interpersonal relationships frequently relies on accurate self-reporting across various relationship facets (e.g., conflict, trust, appreciation). Y...

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🚨New Paper Alert🚨

Just published in AJCP - one of my students and I (along with an awesome team of collaborators) explored the ostensible impact of historic redlining practices on contemporary violence exposure risk of adolescents living in those communities.

Min Jin Lee @minjinlee11 Thank you. It was written originally in English by an American. Me. I was credited as the author. Stephen Greene @StepheninKorea 13h Pachinko by @minjinlee11 was a incredible book. The uncredited english translator really captured all the nuances of the native hangul.

Pachinko is a fantastic book and this clap black is delicious.

You might be able to with semantic scholar. www.semanticscholar.org/faq/export. i’ve only used this for citation links so I didn’t need full papers — not 100% sure it’ll do what you need!

In much better news: after our fury, HHS says “We are now working to fully restore funding to” the Women's Health Initiative.

Sharing the gift article. Reminding us all that we're in 'announcements about announcements' territory, but let's keep close eye on this.

Speaking up takes many forms. I’m mindful that people do so offline and we may not alway see the work people do behind the scene. Not everyone is comfortable with public social media platforms. But we must all resist the growing fascism in this country however we can.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT DAVID ERMOLD; DAVID MOORE, Plaintiffs-Appellees, No. 24-5524 V. KIM DAVIs, individually, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Ashland. No. 0:15-cv-00046-David L. Bunning, District Judge. Argued: January 30, 2025 Decided and Filed: March 6, 2025 Before: WHITE, READLER, and MATHIS, Circuit Judges.

OPINION HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Defendant-Appellant Kim Davis, in her capacity as the clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, refused to issue a marriage license to Plaintiffs-Appellees David Moore and David Ermold. Plaintiffs sued Davis under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming that Davis violated their constitutional right to marry. After several interlocutory appeals, the district court entered judgment for Plaintiffs on liability and a jury awarded them compensatory damages. Davis now appeals, arguing that she is entitled to qualified immunity, that she has affirmative defenses to liability under the Free Exercise Clause and the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that Plaintiffs' evidence of their emotional distress was insufficient to support the jury's award. We AFFIRM.

BREAKING: Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex couples' marriage licenses, loses her appeal at the Sixth Circuit of a lawsuit she lost at trial that was brought by same-sex couples whose constitutional right to marry she violated. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Turing Award winners warn over unsafe deployment of AI models Two pioneers of reinforcement learning have won the $1mn prize from the Association for Computing Machinery

Congratulations to Rich Sutton and Andrew Barto on receiving the Turing Award in recognition of their significant contributions to ML. I also stand with them: Releasing models to the public without the right technical and societal safeguards is irresponsible.

Mental health misinformation is rampant on social media.

In our new study, 33% of top viewed TikTok videos that offered advice and information were misleading.

These videos were watched over 1 billion times.
