In a study of naturally occurring ostracism experiences: After experiencing ostracism, people initially prioritize withdrawal and prosocial coping responses. Prosocial responses increase overtime. Anti-social responses were relatively rare

Remote work can't solve the childcare crisis. Treating it as the solution risks forcing parents (especially moms) to be full-time caregivers while also working for pay full-time. And it risks gaslighting parents (especially moms) if they can't manage that impossible task.

The average Nobel laureate grew up in an 87–90th percentile household.
Access to opportunity doubled from 1901–2023, but remains highly unequal.
Barriers are higher for women, but lower for Americans.

I agree. It selects for the most common approach to asking questions in social psych and assumes the most commonly assumed problems, goals, constraints and affordances.
What’s fascinating is that a field questioning its rigor managed to redefine rigor as science that resembles the same field.
