The effect of life events on personality and well-being is a hot topic. But our new paper on the effects of romantic partnering suggests you need to also consider the effect of NOT experiencing the life event. unromanticprof.substack.com/p/do-boosts-...

Remaining single in your twenties is linked to lower life satisfaction

Remaining single in your twenties is linked to lower life satisfaction

A longitudinal analysis of British and German youth finds that staying single through the twenties correlates with rising loneliness and falling life satisfaction, widening the gap with partnered peers.

I think it's hard to overstate how much Simine has changed research practices and standards in psychology for the better, despite at times massive resistance from powerful parties with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Very well deserved award imho 🥳

Is the idea that getting into a romantic relationship increases well-being a myth? A new MacLab paper says no. And I had so much to say about this work, I started a Substack: The Unromantic. Links for the paper and the Substack in replies.

How are #stress and premenstrual symptoms connected? And are those with a #trauma history more likely to have #PMS or #PMDD? 🌩️ Our systematic review & three meta-analyses combine evidence from 66 studies to explore these questions. Excited our work is finally out! ✨ 👉 doi.org/10.1192/bjp....

New MacLab paper. Do people partner up to save on rent? Apparently not.

University of Toronto Psychology@uoftpsychology.bsky.social · last yr.

Money can’t buy love but it might be a necessary first step, psychologists find. New research by @gmacdonalduoft.bsky.social shows that single people with higher incomes are more likely to want a relationship, think they are ready for one, and start one up. 💙 www.psych.utoronto.ca/news/money-c...

Saw off two PhD students and one MRes student this morning. Happy day 🥳🍾. If you want an amazing PhD of developmental body image hit up Dr Louise Hanson; for a post doc on voices I cannot recommend Dr @jrut.bsky.social highly enough. And Joe McAdam is looking for PhD funding too 😊
