fascinating. never would have thought such a minor change would have such a huge effect bsky.app/profile/flor...
Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content.
But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand.

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here's mine:
-How fields and norms co-evolve, such as 'transitional justice'.
-How to theorize stupidity in IR.

Rates of anxiety and depression are slightly higher for PhD students (5.1%) than those who left graduate school after their Masters (4.2%)--and this gap grows larger over years of the PhD.
But it is still lower than other 20-39 year olds (6.1%) and the general population. jtag.se/pub/workingp...

Constantly striving to be the best doesn’t make you the top performer.
A meta-analysis of 25,000 people found no relationship between performance & perfectionism.
Instead, perfectionism is related to greater anxiety & depression. When we overdo it, we harm ourselves. www.wsj.com/health/welln...

Hmm. Who knew!
is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

The large majority in most fields (but not you, sociology) is in favor of preregistration. www.nature.com/articles/s41... The minority that debates it's usefulness mainly does this bad on low quality arguments (or, for a small group, on bad faith interpretations). >
