From threatening to take over Gaza, to shipping immigrants to Guantanamo, Trump is acting on the legacy of U.S. empire. The roots of that empire lie with this country’s treatment of Indigenous peoples. Bc we have NEVER dealt with that history it will keep rearing its ugly head.

December is one of the major “switching hats” moments during the year. I go from full time research to full time performing. I’m realizing that it takes a different kind of focus to read and write vs rehearse and perform. I’m a good hyperfocus-er, so I’m wondering what makes each so different?

Mansplaining "What is clear is that instead of immediately responding with prescriptive and generic advice, asking a question or giving tailored, solicited advice can confer respect and reduce women’s stereotype threat." Santoro & Markus (2024): doi.org/10.1177/0956... #Psychology #SocialPsyc 🧪
In light of popular accounts in the United States of “mansplaining,” we investigated the effects on women when others give them “unresponsive” advice (i.e., unsolicited, generic, and prescriptive recommendations). We show using both vignettes (Study 1) and live interactions (Study 2) that unresponsive advice (vs. responsive questions) from men negatively affected women’s self-perceptions, leaving them feeling less respected, powerful, and trusting and having a smaller size of self. The advice giver’s gender did not moderate these self-perception outcomes (Study 3), although women anticipated greater stereotype threat only when men, and not when women, gave them unresponsive advice. Similar effects were found using responsive advice instead of questions as the comparison condition (Study 4). Overall, these findings (N = 4,394 U.S. adult women) suggest that it is the unresponsive nature of advice—and for certain outcomes the advice giver’s gender—that explain its effects on women. They point to the value of a responsive suggestion or question during conversations, particularly during cross-gender ones.
