'[M]en were more likely to be recognized with awards than women, but the proportion of awards won by women has increased over time. Despite this increased share of awards, women were more likely to win awards for service and teaching... rather than research contributions.' - Hopkins-Doyle et al 2024

Why do we think? @mildner.bsky.social and I answer this question by analyzing the dynamics of thousands of spontaneous thought streams. We test two functions of spontaneous thought: optimizing memory and keeping the mind focused on ongoing goal pursuits. (1/5) psnlab.princeton.edu/sites/g/file...

Makes sense, thank you. My sense of "everyone can be targeted" comes from Russia where dissent was dangerous for all & ppl denounced each other when someone annoyed them. So you could do/be all the "right" things & still be in danger. But, I get where you are coming from & appreciate the discussion.

Genuine questions for you & @sjjphd.bsky.social from a Russian immigrant to the US: Do you think it is possible for everyone in a country to be targeted by an oppressive regime & therefore become non-privileged? If so, how should people determine when that point will come/when they should leave?

It is my first day as associate professor! Columbia separates tenure & promotion so I am not yet tenured here, but I have been told this is a celebration-worthy milestone so I am celebrating here with all of you. (Also celebrating by seeing gorgeous things in Oxford - really loving it here so far!)

Yes! Some things I've learned from reviewing:
- how to express complex thoughts succinctly
- how to critique with kindness
- what is most important (rarely mention everything I think about a paper)
- the actual findings in the ms
- how to write/do science based on how authors did those things

New experiments: People like groups they learn about 1st b/c they learn distinctive info about later groups and distinctive info tends to be more negative
This suggests that people often see new groups are more negative than they are

@joelleforestier.bsky.social and I have a new paper in @natrevpsych.bsky.social today: "When and why people conceal their identities."
In this paper we propose a dynamic identity concealment model that we hope helps with integrating research on this topic.

When evaluating (reviewing, grading, etc) it's easy to focus on problems. Action editing has helped me look for chances to encourage & affirm - not just when doing that job but more broadly & in life in general too. Unexpected benefit for which I'm grateful.

In my experience a bunch of fixable comments about methods are often a stand-in for something else (like reviewers don't like the main idea & don't know how to say that); harder for me to interpret when they're also saying idea is good. Could be that fixing methods will actually solve the problem!

Makes sense. Round 1 (in 2020, I think?) reviewers weren't convinced of novelty/importance. Round 2 (2024 bc ... things happened) they all showed enthusiasm for novelty/importance/theory but criticized methods.
