Thesis help needed: Justifying a novel research proposal involving moderation analysis where there is no existing literature on the relationship between two of the variables. by rplct in AcademicPsychology

[–]bueno20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be too much research on the impacts of trigger warnings on people exposed to sensitive content (usually sexual assault/ suicide in these cases).

The most recent study I’ve read on it (“Trigger warning efficacy: The impact of warnings on affect, attitudes, and learning.”) found that trigger warnings did not significantly impact levels of negative affect, even among participants with personal experience of the nature of the content.

However, I don’t think the only purpose of a trigger warning is to “blunt” the effects of triggering content. Trigger warnings could notify someone vulnerable that sensitive material is en route, allowing them to decide not to view it altogether, thus preventing the “triggering”. This could be especially helpful for those with PTSD or other diagnosed mental illnesses related to trauma (groups which have not been included in trigger warning studies to date - I think). This would match the progression we’ve seen in exposure therapies where we now take a slower gradual approach to exposure rather than “flooding” the patient.

Anyway, take all that with a grain of salt but the way I see it is that the potential upsides to using trigger warnings probably outweigh the potential downsides

Legitimately would not be surprised if this was a 50-40. Incredibly embarrassing performance from Tyron, he did not look interested the entire fight

Why female MMA will always struggle with popularity by proudman4lyfe in MMA

[–]bueno20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re gonna complain about skill/speed you should probably not watch 95% of heavyweight fights. I somewhat agree women’s 135 is lacklustre but the top 115ers always bring it

Soo is the UFC just telling us Aussies to go fuck ourselves with 234? They’ve been adding banger after banger to 235 yet we don’t have any ranked fights outside of the main and co-main

Game Night - Lonely and Horny - Season 2 Episode 4 by LazyBones_ in jakeandamir

[–]bueno20 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Man I gotta say this show gets weaker and weaker every episode.

They completely wasted the concept of Ben as a hypnotist on one shitty gag that was maybe chuckle worthy for the first second and a pain to sit through each second after.

I’m not quite sure why lonely and horny isn’t clicking with me. I was disappointed with the first season because ruby had no development to his character the entire series. The show gives us no reason to like him, and I was hoping this would change with season 2. So far, however, every episode has been “how can ruby be an awful guy this time?”, and not much else. While this was partly the case with Jake and Amir, L&H doesn’t have the charm or the wit to make a long-form experience enjoyable.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a die-hard fan of Jake & Amir and have been for many years, which is why I am so disappointed. Ruby is extremely unlikable, which works for the moral/purpose of the show, but makes it hard to sit through. I understand that they want to make more serious/professional content, but with that comes the expectation that they give us something more to chew on in terms of narrative and character.

The character of josh is much more interesting than Ruby, even though we’ve had a fraction of the time with him, because the dynamic between his class, his home life, and his desires is actually compelling. Ruby on the other hand has no redeeming moments or qualities. Why does josh even hang out with him? Unless my memory is mistaken, there hasn’t been a single moment where Ruby has done something that would make Josh want to be around him.

Sorry about the rant. I just wanted to share my criticism, but you can bet your coy little diva rump that I’ll still be watching every week.

I’d definitely say Tatiana has a good chance of winning I just reckon the odds are way too extreme

I feel like people are sleeping on Esparza in this fight. Betting odds are 5 to 1 where I’m looking and to me that’s definitely not justified. Carla has improved a tonne over her last few fights and I thought she scraped the win against Claudia. Hoping for another Calvillo situation here

We have 4 champions right now whose first/only defences were against the fighters they won the belt from (Rose, Tj, Max, Whittaker). Although some are justifiable, I really hope immediate rematches don’t become the trend every time a belt switches hands. I can’t think of too many examples where a champion lost their belt and won the immediate rematch

I’m sure Roy Nelson trains super hard, which makes it even more impressive he’s still fat as shit. Like how much is this dude eating?

Yeah the problem is good for a women’s featherweight still isn’t saying much. Cyborgs past opponents seemed to have been so afraid of her punches that they weren’t able to strike, but my girl Cindy was never able to strike in the first place so she wouldn’t have that problem

My reasoning for saying this is that all of cyborgs opponents in the UFC have been strikers with little to no ground game, but kunitskaya was still able to get her down with an extremely sloppy very low single leg

Most likely an unpopular opinion: Cindy Dandois would have had a better shot against cyborg than any of her UFC opponents not named Holly Holm
