Grandparenting may be good for the brain. Research published in Psychology and Aging suggests grandparents who care for their grandchildren score higher on memory and verbal fluency tests and may experience less cognitive decline over time. Read more! www.apa.org/news/press/r... #PsychSciSky

APA Style @apastyle.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

This FAQ is about punctuation in references. Each element of #APAStyle references (i.e., the author, date, title, and source) usually ends with a period. 👉 An exception is when the title element ends in a question mark, as in this example. #APA7 #AcWri #APAStyleFAQ #APAreferences #punctuation

APA Style FAQ
Q: In a reference, if an article's title ends with a question mark, should you also include the period that usually ends the title element?
A: Don't add a period. The question mark replaces the usual period.
Example:
Peng, D., Iqbal, Z., & Zentall, T. R. (2026). Ephemeral reward task: Why is it so difficult for pigeons to learn it? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 52(1), 9–15. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000397
(In the image, there is a circle drawing attention to the question mark that appears after the word "it" and before the beginning of the journal's title.)

New study reveals that not all narcissists fantasize the same: grandiose types lean into dominance, malignant narcissists show the most intense non-normophilic fantasies, and vulnerable narcissism isn’t linked to sexual fantasies. cab.unime.it/journals/ind... #Psychology #Criminology #Research

🧠 New research shows that narcissism fuels trolling — not just for attention, but through malicious envy. Seeing others succeed can trigger hostility, amplified by exposure to antisocial media content. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #Psychology #SocialMedia #Research #Criminology

How do college students seek help? Most stick to system-embedded supports, but top performers also use personalized help like tutoring. Lower performers rely more on group sessions & forums. Adapting help-seeking may boost success! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

One thing I've found helpful is to start by working with the student to develop a detailed timeline. Chances are, it will be their first time doing this too. I usually start with the key deadlines and work backward to schedule the smaller tasks along the way. Helps things seem less overwhelming.
