Beyond the Binary: The Compounding Complexity of Biological Sex

Even child naming practices are starting to show signs of politically polarization in the U.S. today - these sorts of unexpected studies are why I love sociology!
Baby names aren’t just personal choices; they reflect culture, geography, gender, identity, and as i've been investigating, politics too. I’ve been analyzing 50 years of U.S. baby naming to see how they map onto political polarization in the U.S.

Ever wonder if saying “thank you” makes people more likely to help? Results are mixed. Gratitude, whether for a kind act or character, sometimes increased generosity but wording didn’t matter. The appreciation itself is what counts @greatergoodedu.bsky.social
