In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

As you may know, my PhD adviser Sam Sommers passed away suddenly. He was an incredible mentor and teacher and spent all of his time helping others. I am asking you all to help his wife and daughters during this tragic time which has created financial hardships. Thank you. ❤️ gofund.me/e214cc60

How can we regulate empathy wisely to maintain our well-being while providing support to the target of empathy? I tackle this question in my dissertation "Wise Empathy and Well-being", which is now published: www.proquest.com/docview/3128....

I am so glad to see this, Linda! I have had an intuition just like your finding in my backlog of research ideas for YEARS, and I am thrilled to cross it out with a paper that appears to support it in such interesting and expansive ways. Can't wait to dig in. What herculean effort, too—big congrats!

Leaving is also perfectly reasonable! I don’t think anyone owes the field to try.

I decided to stay in part b/c on my optimistic days, I believe our field grows & matures from these challenges, & that there's a healthy version of this process. I also believe that I can constructively contribute. But some days I feel more pessimistic. So far, most days are optimistic days. 2/2

I did know when I was in training, and it was challenging. Field leaders seemed to disagree on what is real, what counts as good science, and who gets the decide. Add those disagreements on top of all the uncertainties and instabilities that typically accompany the training...it was a lot. 1/2

I agree with Lisa & Neil that setting hard limits on things like class prep is important, *and* with you that it is difficult to keep ourselves within those limits, esp. at first (e.g., new course prep is just time-consuming). For me, figuring out what’s “essential” vs “incrementally better” is key!
