Relationship advice on Reddit is increasingly focused on telling people to break up or divorce and ignoring the need to compromise and communicate. Is it just me or does this seem like a recipe for lonliness.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Most parenting research assumes that encouraging teens' emotional expression is always best. But our new longitudinal study of Black adolescents and their mothers, led by Angel Dunbar, paints a more nuanced picture.🧵

How does family conflict ripple across generations? Our new research followed adolescents and their families from two independent samples over decades to test whether teens' experiences of dysfunctional family conflict predicted their parenting decades later.🧵

Climate change impacts are here, but public support for action remains polarized. Which climate messages move people? In a ~13,500-person megastudy, we tested 10 of the most-cited messages. Six increased pro-environmental attitudes in the U.S.—but only by 1–4 percentage points. 🧵

A survey of 2600 Ph.D. students, postdocs, and other researchers in 65 countries found that top three complaints were that supervisors: 1) used dismissive communication 2) provided little feedback 3) ignored team members’ well-being The main thing they wanted was empathy

New article in Nature! Happy to have contributed (as one of the many co-authors) Researchers could replicate the results of about half of the studies in various social science disciplines This holds for various fields: pol sci, econ, sociology, & psychology #science 🧪 @briannosek.bsky.social

Investigating the replicability of the social and behavioural sciences - Nature

A large-scale study on the replicability of claims from social and behavioural science journals reports that about half of the results replicate in the same patterns as the original study.

nature.com

And, more generally, we applied consistent terminology: * Reproducibility = same data, same analysis * Robustness = same data, different analyses * Replicability = same question, different data These are examples of repeatability, and are components of the broader concept of credibility.

The SCORE investigation of repeatability and credibility is a lot. There are a few ways to get your head around it. 1: The Nature collection includes 3 papers from SCORE, an amazing paper from @i4replication.bsky.social and several commentaries about the work. www.nature.com/collections/... 1/

Reliable research in the social and behavioural and sciences

Sweeping new investigations probe the replication, robustness and reproducibility of results across the behavioural and social sciences.

Boys and young men tend to have fewer close connections and less emotional support than do girls and young women, and many feel under pressure to conform to stereotypical ideas of masculinity and body image go.nature.com/4sH7xEV

Are boys really in crisis? What the science says in the age of the manosphere

Some data suggest that boys and young men are struggling with school, health and masculinity. But does talk of a male crisis further sideline women and girls?
