I love (and respect!) the eye opening effect of some research studies, such as this…

Please share: One of my counselling psychology professional doctorate students Tahmeena Miah would like to speak to trainee and qualified therapists who have completed 6 sessions with a Muslim client about their experiences of this work. For further details and to consent: lnkd.in/ejsUqFPM

Such an important reminder that we must not gloss students as all wanting to use genAI, and we must not require them to use genAI, in their learning environments...

Students as Conscientious Objectors to Gen AI (opinion)

We should listen to them—and treat their objections with respect.

Enjoyed talking to @psychscience.bsky.social about my group’s new(ish) paper for the Observer. I’ve talked about this on here at an earlier stage. In 4 studies, we found no evidence that asking young adults to cut back on their social media improves well-being. Small thread 🧵 follows:

For Young Adults, Limiting Social Media Use Doesn’t Improve Well-Being

What happens when young adults are asked to slash their social media use to 30 minutes a day? In a new set of studies, most did not follow through, and those who did cut back …

Last of four amazing days of intensive discussions and exchanges of ideas and stories with colleagues from Europe and beyond! Many thanks to the organisers and to the volunteers and to all the colleagues that made such a rich experience possible! #EARA2026, #UtrechtUniversity

I was just informed that I was the dreaded #Reviewer2 and it's on the basis of my comments that an ms was rejected... sorry! At least I know that I did my best to write my comments constructively and politely!

Our article entitled "‘What Is #Love?’ Exploring Children’s Perceptions Through #Drawings and Interviews" was just published online at the Journal of Genetic Psychology: doi.org/10.1080/0022... Many thanks to Fanny Bonoti and Sofia Kelesidou for the great collaboration!

‘What Is Love?’ Exploring Children’s Perceptions Through Drawings and Interviews

Love is a key emotional experience in human development, yet children’s understanding of love remains underexplored. This study investigates children’s perceptions of love and examines differences ...

End of a nice 4 day vacation, now thinking ahead to the #EARA2026 conference in #Utrecht! Who will be there?

Good points!

Got a conference coming up? Try to have at least two people who aren’t super familiar with your work look at your slides and ask them for feedback on these issues (too much content? Useful text?) Good luck this summer! /end

Dear #AcademicSky, I received today a #ReviewRequest from a journal I don't know. The request consists of an e-mail, the submitted manuscript (ms) and the evaluation form; no link to journal webpage. The ms is badly written. Do I react to this e-mail or just igore it? Any feedback is welcome!

Just sent comments to a stuent on her interestingly developing introduction for a bachelor thesis on my-relationship-with- #nature narratives, in the context of #narrativeidentity research.

One of the challenges when reading lit is not to study everything that looks relevant or interesting; how do you teach this skill to your (PhD) students, #AcademicSky?

First two workhours of the day dedicated to studying #literature. I always miss the accompanying emotion throughout the teaching semesters. Am I the only one, #AcademicSky?

Dear colleagues, when using #ResearchGate to request publications, can you please please please not use the ready made texts? Or is this too much to ask, #AcademicSky?

A day that turned out to be much more busy than expected, and the heat is not helping that much... still, luckily, I had some extra time to prepare for the meetings of tomorrow and I will take the time between them to write... #AcademicDiary #AcademicSky #TimeManagement

We are looking to fill a PhD position for an exciting project on the development of memory consolidation karriere.charite.de/tarifvertraege. This project is part of the DFG-funded CRC www.sfb1315.de/de/sfb1315-2/ and is a collaboration between my lab, Claudia Buss, and @yeeleeshing.bsky.social.

Where have I seen a call for papers on #DevPsy related to the #environment?

Taking the week off but still plan to take the tablet with me and hope to start taking notes for a new book. Is that “real” week off, #AcademicSky?

Today I was notified about the editor’s decision on a ms I reviewed. I thought I was amazingly not strict in my comments but eventually it seemed I was the dreaded “reviewer 2” in comparison to the other reviewer …

Very happy to announce that the first publication of my first PhD student was accepted for publication in Psychology, the journal of the Greek Psychological Association (#ELPSE). This paper is a #ScopingReview of definitions of #skills in psychological research! More later :-)

I just read an article on the how to create #prosocial classrooms (doi.org/10.1002/jad....). I wonder if there is similar research on how to create a prosocial audience of university students. Any clues, #AcademicSky?

After a long day, I logged in here and looked for people posting on #ReflectiveThematicAnalysis. I assume I did not find everyone… can you provide ideas and suggestions ?

So nicely said !

Such a pity that so many people made a #bluesky profile and never post anything … does it make sense to delete them from my “following” list or will that make no difference?
