We moved interpersonal belief updating from the lab to real life using EMA. Key findings:
1️⃣ Bigger gaps → bigger updates
2️⃣ Positive surprises update more (non-clinical sample)
3️⃣ Depressive symptoms → more negative updating
This is the proof-of-principle study 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’ve never seen it put so succinctly before! Even as a disabled person myself, I struggle a lot with internalized ableism.
These 12 all two common narratives about disability can be difficult to unlearn, but that work is important.

Always surprised how many folk on social media are unaware that highly visible women online regularly get threatened w/ rape and other violence. Happens to every woman w/ a substantial following I know, has for a decade regardless of platform. And no, authorities don’t care and that’s no solution.

Also wondering if I should keep maintaining this or it's better done by someone who spends more time on here? Do people find it useful? 🧵
