This week in my grad Soc of Family, we're covering Relationship Formation. First up, a quick data viz by @joannapepin.bsky.social & @philipncohen.com documenting shifts in young people's expectations of marriage & being a spouse. 1/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Figure 1. The figure shows data from the 1976 to 2022 Monitoring the Future Public-Use Cross-Sectional Datasets, a nationally representative annual survey of U.S. high school seniors. (A) Young adults’ assessment of how good a spouse they expect to be, by gender (“very good,” “fairly good,” “good,” “not so good,” or “poor”), by gender. (B) Young adults’ expectation of marriage (“get married,” “not get married,” or “no idea”), also by gender. The bottom panels show the percentage point change over the 10 years from 2012 to 2022 for how good a spouse they will be (C) and their expectation of marriage (D). Over the last 10 years of the survey, the percentage of high school seniors who think they will make very good spouses has dropped, as has the percentage expecting to marry. Data access and replication code are available at https://github.com/jrpepin/MTF_Marriage.

Finally, this has gone a bit under the radar, so I want to highlight it: The social, behavioral and economic sciences directorate (SBE) has simply ceased to deliver grants to many of its subareas. Any topic not specifically OK'd by the Trump administration is receiving zero new awards.

All of the NSF’s directorates are awarding fewer new grants, but the hardest hit is the social, behavioural and economic sciences (SBE) directorate, which the White House proposed eliminating in its 2027 budget request to Congress. SBE has so far awarded 84 new grants this year, about 11% of its average, mainly in areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience and decision-making. Much of its portfolio, such as sociology, archaeology, political science, economics and geography, has received zero new awards. “I don’t think they’ve realized yet that there’s no awards,” one NSF staff member says of researchers in those fields. “That’s going to be clear soon.”

excited about this one: using longitudinal movement data and dyadic models, we show that orangutan moms adjust their ranging patterns so their kids can play with age-mates independent of kinship, at personal costs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Mothers with similarly aged offspring share more space, and their offspring play more.
Posterior effect sizes from social relations models (SRMs) of (a, b) infant-infant play scans (n = 996
infant-dyad-years across 79 mother dyads) and (c) mother-mother home-range overlap (Bhattacharyya coefficient; n
= 282 mother-dyad years across 71 mother dyads). Panel (a) shows the hurdle component (probability of play
occurrence), sign-flipped so positive values indicate higher probability of play occurrence; panel (b) shows the count
component (play frequency). Points and thick and thin lines show posterior medians with 66% and 89% credible
intervals, respectively. (d) Counterfactual home-range overlap for each dyad when offspring are the same age versus
6 years apart. Points show posterior medians across all mother-mother dyads (one horizontal bar per dyad);
background densities show population-level predictions. (e) Offspring age-difference effect on home-range overlap
versus intersection area. (f) Posterior difference between the two effects (BC overlap minus intersection area).

📝Why do Americans avoid cross-partisan dating? New paper w/ Shannon Taflinger in ESR We test 3 mechanisms: •perceived similarity in values & lifestyle •character judgments •fear of social disapproval ➡️All matter, similarity leads And: Dem women penalize out-partisans most doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

ABSTRACT:
US Americans are divided along party lines, both in politics and personal relationships. While prior research shows a preference for dating co-partisans, it remains unclear why people prefer to date co-partisans and for whom the effects are strongest. Therefore, we examine whether perceived character quality of a potential partner, perceived similarity, and expected social approval mediate the effects of matching and non-matching political party on romantic interest and whether effects vary by gender and party combinations. We conducted an online dating experiment with US American partisans and partisan leaners aged 20–33 (N = 1,097). Respondents viewed six fictional dating profiles that randomly included ‘Democrat’, ‘Republican’, or no political information. Results show that romantic interest was largely driven by preference against out-partisans, rather than for co-partisans. Out-partisan rejection was driven by perceived similarity, followed by expected social approval and perceived character quality, while co-partisan preference was driven by perceived similarity and, to a lesser extent, perceived quality. The in-group preference was strongest for Republican men and women, while out-group rejection was strongest for Democratic women. Overall, our findings show that people use politics as a proxy for non-political characteristics. They also highlight the importance of distinguishing between in-party preference and out-party animosity.

One thing I wish we talked about more explicitly with #earlycareer faculty is how gradually the pool of people who'll write their tenure letters develops. Impressions form slowly over the pre-tenure years, which makes visibility much easier to build over time than to manufacture later.

nfographic titled "Building Visibility in the Pre-Tenure Years." Four rows, each pairing an observation on the left with a corresponding action on the right.
Row one. Observation: the tenure-letter pool forms gradually. The pool of people who may eventually write tenure letters is not formed in year five, it develops gradually across the pre-tenure years. Action: build visibility early. By the time a tenure case is assembled, many scholars have already formed impressions through talks, preprints, grants, and conversations. Pull quote: "Start in year one, not when tenure is approaching."
Row two. Observation: visibility is not just networking. The goal is not to collect contacts. The goal is for the right people to understand your questions, your trajectory, and your contributions. Action: make the work legible. Help others understand what problems you are trying to solve and how your work is changing the conversation. Pull quote: "Who should understand your work, and why?"
Row three. Observation: impressions build through substantive engagement. Conference talks, seminars, preprints, workshops, panels, and study sections all help others see how you think. Action: share ideas consistently. Visibility grows through repeated, substantive forms of engagement. Strong work matters, but it also has to be visible and legible to the field. Pull quote: "Share ideas early and often."
Row four. Observation: sponsorship carries real weight. Senior faculty can help make visibility possible by opening doors to the conversations where reputations are formed. Action: turn mentorship into sponsorship. Nominate early-career colleagues for talks and panels. Introduce them to people who should know their work. Pull quote: "Small acts of sponsorship can carry real weight.

3. If you're going to procrastinate, do it productively. Can't tackle a big task today? Do little tasks you had planned for tomorrow to clear out extra time to do it then. Warning: Do not use when schedule is prone to unexpected chaos (e.g.,with a kid catching a new daycare disease every other week)

2. Put concrete, specific tasks in your to do list. If you say "Work on XYZ paper," it's hard to start bc you have to figure out what you need to do next, and unclear how much time to allot to that. If you say, "Run demographic descriptives and add to methods," that's easier to plan and jump on.
