A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Just submitted a BBS commentary (w/ @edbaggs.bsky.social) on the paper "Let’s go WILD: Increasing Inclusivity in Theories of Developmental Psychology"

To make psychology more inclusive we need to confront the WEIRDness of our methods & metatheoretical commitments!

preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...
Snapshot of the preprint of our BBS commentary titled "Ethnographic methods can help psychology overcome its WEIRD problems" containing the abstract, which reads: "We are persuaded by Bard et al.'s argument that cross-cultural work in psychology requires not only a greater diversity of participants but also a greater diversity of theories. We encourage the authors to consider that the solution lies not only in improving experimentally-oriented theories, but also in adopting non-experimental methods, including purely ethnographic methods."

I'm happy to announce that this September I'll be joining the University of Murcia (Spain) on a Saavedra Fajardo grant for a 5-year research project followed by a tenure track professorship! Really looking forward to the project (more info soon) and to working with great friends there!
