Rage bait Word of the Year.

It is 5pm and I already submitted a tenure-track job application, an article to a prestigious journal with a painful submission process, and took care of a toddler with hand-foot-mouth for half the day.
FEELING EMPOWERED 💪.

It is that time of the year when we should all complain about ICA's reviewer website (Abstract Central) and the fact that it was probably designed in 1997.

Question (especially for media psychologists): what measures are there for individual-level emotional traits that have been related to media use? I am aware of the MAM and the miniMAM, but these are picture based, and the BSSS, but this looks to me like tailored on teenagers specifically...

Creators are helping to reach important audiences with journalism, often outstanding, innovative journalism.

They are helping to inform people legacy media isn't reaching. We need to enable, fund, and include these people in the ecosystem of trustworthy sources.

So exciting to see RQ1 featured our work!
Bottom line: humor in news is a powerful tool for conveying facts—especially at a time when satirical news, an alternative venue for those who don't trust mainstream media, is under unprecedented political attack

#PublicationAlert 🥰. This one has been long in the making: It started with a @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in 2023, lead to a working group at the SFI in 2024, multiple online-meetings (one from Costa Rica, Munich, Denmark, Mumbai, and the US), thought-provoking and truly interdisciplinary work.

We know that learning is an emotional process. This slide was a real hit in my methods class (26 students enrolled, 22 of them women). It sparked a bit of an upheaval, to the extent that it took me a while to calm them down.
I’d bet good money they’ll remember what moderation is for years to come😀

“Pain relief for pregnant women is woefully lacking, [it] is a a much safer pain relief option during pregnancy than basically any other alternative”

A day may come when I will get a manuscript back from a coauthor without them having had to correct my "in" that should be an "on"... but it is not this day 😅.

I could be wrong but I think this is a very specific Spanish-native speaker problem?
