🔗Who your friends are, and how they connect matters for mental health.  Our BMJ Open study shows that “intransitive” networks (friends who aren’t connected to each other) are associated with higher depression risk among women bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/6...  #Depression #NetworkScience #PublicHealth

7/ We propose four design principles for measuring metacognitive constructs, both for IH and others: Contextual specificity Event reconstruction (real, not hypothetical) Accessibility (binary chains over Likert) Model within-person variability

6/ In Honduras, women initially looked lower in IH than men. Then we checked who they argued with. Women more often recalled disagreements with subordinates (e.g., children), where IH was lower for everyone. Status of opponent fully accounted for the the gender effect.

5/ The headline finding: 74–81% of variance in IH was within-person. Intellectual humility looks more like a state than a trait. The same person is humble when wrong, arrogant when right. That's most of the signal.

4/ We tested it on: 🇺🇸 633 English- and Spanish-speaking North Americans (online) and 🇭🇳 2,567 adults from 136 rural Honduran villages (face-to-face) The results: Same factor structure. Scalar invariance across cultures and situations! No high literacy or numeracy required.

3/ Our alternative — situated behavioral measurement. Don't ask who you are. Ask what you did. Recall a recent disagreement → six binary probes ("Did you listen carefully? How much?") → repeat for three different events (one wrong, one right, one freely chosen).

2/ The problem with trait scales: rating "I'm willing to revise my views" demands you recall every relevant past disagreement, evaluate your humility in each, and aggregate it into one number. That mental calculus exceeds reasonable memory use. So we shortcut to heuristics. So we self-enhance...

1/ We've been measuring intellectual humility wrong. Most scales ask "are you intellectually humble?" but the people least humble are the most miscalibrated about it. They overclaim. The #humilityparadox. Out today in Behavior Research Methods. Here's what we did instead. 🧵

I didn’t expect a short video about an octopus to stay with me this long. At first, it looks like a simple, almost playful interaction. But the more you watch, the more something deeper emerges: a learning process unfolding between two completely different forms of intelligence. 🧵 1/

When we design artificial systems, are we enabling this kind of open-ended, co-adaptive interaction? Or are we still building systems that only simulate it from a distance? Curious to hear how you see this. #ComplexSystems #AI #Learning /fin

They don’t fit neatly into our categories. We tend to look for intelligence inside the individual, but moments like this suggest we should also look "between" individuals. And maybe that’s the question this raises for us, especially now. 4/

This is a familiar pattern for complexity scientists: intelligence as something that emerges from feedback loops, from trial-and-error, from being responsive to another agent. 🐙 with their distributed nervous systems and highly embodied cognition, push us to rethink our default assumptions 3/

No shared language. No shared evolutionary path. And yet there’s coordination, curiosity, even a kind of mutual calibration. Strikingly, the “learning” here lives in the interaction: each move reshapes the next, each hesitation, each adjustment, feeds back into the system. 2/

Beautiful people do not “just happen”… As we grow (in years, wisdom, experience, or knowledge…) we learn to be grateful for the right things. And to fill out heart with what makes us more human and alive. ⏬This beauty is endless and eternal.

Playing. A universal human feature. Decades ago, a smartphone was not “the” tool. Playing was social. Often a source of SHARED joy. If you can remember creating a “stadium” out of a random space using few things (rocks, cardboard) & shared imagination: you probably had a happy childhood 🥅⚽️ I did😃

When discussing data on income inequality, it's important to be clear about what’s being shown. Two measures are often used: income *before* people have paid taxes and received benefits from the government, and income *after* government redistribution via taxes and benefits. 🧵

A chart comparing income inequality before and after taxes and government benefits for five countries: Japan, Canada, Germany, the US, and South Africa.

Inequality is measured here with the Gini coefficient, one of the most common ways to measure inequality. It summarizes the distribution of incomes within a country into a single number ranging from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate higher inequality.

The chart shows the Gini coefficients before and after taxes and benefits in five countries: Japan, Canada, Germany, the US, and South Africa, using the latest available data point for each.

Income inequality is lower after taxes and benefits. But by how much varies across countries. For example, Germany and the US have the same Gini before taxes and benefits, but after that redistribution, income inequality is lower in Germany than it is in the US.

The data source is the Luxembourg Income Study (2025) and the chart is Creative Commons BY license, published by Our World in Data.

Staying true to our values. Trusting that what we do (small or big) with purpose, care, ethics, love, and generosity: matters. Eventually. Even (if or when) we are not meant to “see it”. Simple to say; Not easy to live. Worth to try, again… and again. #lifetimejourney

From afar, we admire talent. Up close, what counts most is character. You can impress people with your skills, but you earn their trust by standing for something greater than yourself. There is no higher achievement than treating others kindly and living with integrity.
