Hmm, not sure I ascended there 😬! It's just a place where there's clarity that the most important things are the integrity of your work, contributing to environments that support others, and not compromising those in the face of others' expectations - various ECRs I know are already there, in fact

Definitely - I'm mindful that I've reached the 'don't care' career stage, which is a perverse form of privilege on top of others I guess

I read several papers on hesitations around preprints for ECRs; worries about errors or getting scooped. But I rarely hear from mid-career (associate or senior lecturer levels) or full profs. What are some of the concerns there? Are they the same concerns as ECRs?

I post pre-prints of new stuff when possible, and the only legit concern I have is that it can compromise blind peer review. Not to say that blind peer review is an absolute good, but can be important for some folks in some areas

We got this too to some extent when switching to jamovi for final year stats. My reply was that it doesn't mean it's compulsory for supervisors to use it too - just possible. As ever, use whatever you want for your projects (I used jamovi for years while SPSS was still taught)

"even if data are quantitative and numerical, the ways in which they are analysed and, to a greater extent, the inferences made from this analysis, will vary depending on who the researcher is." I LOVE this paper, which talks about reflexivity in quant, not qual, research tinyurl.com/3r3s39ty

Reflexivity is the act of examining one's own assumption, belief, and judgement systems, and thinking carefully and critically about how these influence the research process. The practice of reflexivity confronts and questions who we are as researchers and how this guides our work. It is central in debates on objectivity, subjectivity, and the very foundations of social science research and generated knowledge. Incorporating reflexivity in the research process is traditionally recognized as one of the most notable differences between qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Qualitative research centres and celebrates the participants' personal and unique lived experience. Therefore, qualitative researchers are readily encouraged to consider how their own unique positionalities inform the research process and this forms an important part of training within this paradigm. Quantitative methodologies in social and personality psychology, and more generally, on the other hand, have remai

Review essay highlighting the importance of norms for social change. A key example is that norms promoting cross-group contact is related to more comfort with contact #SocialPsyc#prejudice#psychscisky#poliskyonlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Paper title: The role of norms as a promoter of social change
Abstract: Life in society revolves around social norms. These norms play a crucial role in regulating and influencing individuals’ behavior, both at the societal and individual levels. They offer a psychological framework that reduces uncertainty, guides behavior, and aids people in adapting to their social surroundings. Moreover, by observing prevailing social norms, individuals gain insights into societal trends that preserve cherished values and traditions across generations, thus mapping the dynamics of social stability and change. Social change is closely tied to shifts in these norms, which can occur at varying speeds, influenced by factors at multiple levels of analysis, including societal, group, and individual levels. In this article, I analyze the various concepts of social norms found in the literature, with a particular focus on their role in psychology. I describe the main sources of normative influence and illu

Line plot showing the interaction between participant ethnic group and peer norms when predicting comfort with cross-group interaction. Non-indigenous people are much more comfortable with cross-group interaction when peer norms are supportive.
Bar graph showing that across Peru, Haiti, and Venezuela people have more cross group contact when they also report high contact norms.

🚨New Publication🚨 Intergroup contact does more than reduce prejudice. Positive outgroup experiences relate to positive pro-mixing attitudes, via increased levels of outgroup respect and outgroup understanding. We looked at inter/ethnoreligious contexts. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This by Paul Dickerson (new ed. just released) is also worth a look:

Slight bias as a chapter co-author, but this one (now 7th ed, 2020) used to be (supposedly) a 'European perspective' - though moot how different that is from US in global terms!
