From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Could you add the UCR personality group? Me, @tabeaspringstein.bsky.social, and @oliviaatherton.bsky.social. Thanks!

Re: the measurement discussion in this thread, I usually call non-report tasks non-verbal behavioral measures. A bit too wordy, though

Intersubjective!

and 2. Openness to Experience and protest

I show how to use the framework with two examples: 1. Conscientiousness and voting

I define agents (& personality) & social structure such that they shape and are shaped by each other. I describe how this mutual shaping occurs through four processes adopted from theories of person–environment transactions: selection, manipulation, evocation, and socialization.
