Multiverse studies seem doomed to perpetuate a cycle of "look it varies!" "but not that much" "does too!".

Here's another exchange that I had missed.

Happy to share my new study, publ. in Social Science Research 🎉 Bottom line: Yes, adolescents use their phones a lot 🤳 But I find no support for the notion that this use displaces reading, homework, hobbies, physical act., sleep... Instead: Changing media preferences 📺 ->📱. doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

🚨 New preprint out
We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns.

Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects.

Studie von @kfirl.bsky.social, @nrmllr.bsky.social & T. Nutz mit #FReDA-Daten:
➡️ Frauen leisten die meiste Verhütungsarbeit – emotional, körperlich & organisatorisch.

„Skandalös“ ist nicht die Forderung nach einer Entkriminalisierung von #Schwangerschaftsabbrüche bis zur zwölften Woche, also der Abschaffung von #Paragraph218 des Strafgesetzbuches. Sondern skandalös …

Schwangerschaftsabbruch: Merz empört über Initiative zu Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen
Olaf Scholz unterstützt ein Vorhaben zur Entkriminalisierung von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen. Friedrich Merz findet das "skandalös". Das Thema würde das Land polarisieren.
