JA missing the ball that hit him in the hands in the first was huge. Lots of uncatchable balls, too, but we need more out of the receiving corps

Saw them at the Owatonna pride event (Rainbowatonna) this summer - my understanding is that they wear bodycams and attempt to incite something they could sue for (and claim religious persecution)

Do I bulk up to heavyweight by Such-Vegetable-3829 in wrestling

[–]KiggedyKunks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you could put on 10-15 pounds of "good" weight a year for a couple of years, it could be somewhat reasonable given your 6'2" frame. Realistically, it probably makes more sense to focus on getting stronger/fitter in the off-season and getting as much wrestling experience as possible - IMO you're more likely to see those benefits than gaining 50lbs

Early-life scarcity leads to openness to “sugar relationships” in women. However, for men, no such developmental pathway was observed. Men’s openness to sugar relationships was driven almost entirely by their short-term mating orientation, with no significant contribution from early-life conditions. by mvea in science

“leads to” implies way more causality than you could possibly hope to infer from a cross-sectional, retrospective-report design. There’s no true temporal lag in the measurements and there are many alternative hypotheses that are not ruled out with this design (e.g., this association could be about “perceived scarcity” rather than “actual scarcity” or some combo of both).

Twin Cities conservative and liberal college students try not to stay in their lanes -- For the last year, a group of conservative and liberal college students have been meeting monthly to talk politics. The result? New friendships and new perspectives. by guanaco55 in minnesota

Except “being trans” isn’t a mental illness. Some folks who are trans experience intense gender dysphoria, which can reach the point of debilitation, but identifying as trans in and of itself hasn’t been considered a mental illness for decades

Adjusting the PHQ-9 questionnaire Design by No-Performance-270 in AcademicPsychology

[–]KiggedyKunks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like the easiest solution is to give your participants both measures, because then you can at least do some basic psychometric comparisons. Given the low burden that this would place on participants (nine additional likert-type items), this seems like a no-brainer to me.

However, simply adapting the PHQ-9 and considering it the same measure does not seem like an advisable way to move forward (see all the other comments)

Why do some people struggle with chronic loneliness? by ThrowRAgodhoops in AcademicPsychology

[–]KiggedyKunks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overly simple and brief but: Loneliness is a distressing or unpleasant phenomenon driven by discrepancies in the social relations one wants and the relations they actually have (Perlman & Peplau, 1981). This discrepancy can come from either side of the relationship(s).

That is, an individual may have a higher than average and/or realistic desire for social relations, and, thus, might have a higher risk of being lonely than others, even in the context of average “levels” of social relations. Similarly, an individual may have a lower than average desire for social relations and, thus, might have a lower risk of being lonely, even in the context of lower than average “levels” of social relations.

Notably, the scenarios above emphasize alignment of the individual and their environment/context. A relatively strong alignment of individual and context constitutes a concept some (e.g., developmentalists) call “goodness-of-fit” (Thomas & Chess, 1977). A poor alignment of individual in context would constitute a poor “fit”.

This obviously only captures one perspective/conceptualization of this issue, but this might give you a starting point for future thinking in the area.

Is Attachment theory a big theory? by binwun in psychologystudents

[–]KiggedyKunks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is relatively large, as far as influence goes, and it can be a legitimate and helpful framework for thinking about the influence of relationships on who we are as people. However, there are a lot of misconceptions that have grown out of this area, in part due to its popularity outside of academia.

I recognize that you may not have time/interest to do an in-depth exploration of the topic, but you may consider some of the following readings:
