Super cool new study by @kvanbogart.bsky.social looking into differences between chronic and acute loneliness!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Everyday physical activity, even light movement, improves cognitive processing speed, equivalent to reversing four years of cognitive aging. This highlights the short-term brain benefits of staying active. #CognitiveHealth #PhysicalActivity #BrainHealth #MentalWellness #HealthyLiving

This article gives a phenomenal overview of the history and evolution of best practices in measurement invariance and differential item functioning -- I can't remember the last time I learned so much reading a single paper, highly recommended! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The concept of factorial invariance has evolved since it originated in the 1930s as a criterion for the usefulness of the multiple factor model; it has become a form of analysis supporting the vali...
