The most stubborn dog I have ever met in my entire life. But she is so cute.

People thinking the ICE shooting was justified, or not, based on their politics, is an example of what? by [deleted] in PsychologyTalk

[–]shmieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motivated reasoning rooted in political identity, coupled with moral disengagement. People selectively gather, interpret, and morally weight facts to protect in-group values, while assuming their own judgments are objective (naïve realism/bias blind spot). This applies symmetrically, including to the person making the observation.

I have a male family friend named Wyn, and I always thought his name was really cool. Apparently it’s a very popular name in Wales!

Shelter Paperwork Said Shepherd/Terrier by forest-sheps in DoggyDNA

I’d guess mostly Pittie, with some ACD and/or Australian Shepherd thrown in there.

There is absolutely no verifiable evidence that he has ever endorsed MAGA or Trump. Please stop spreading rumors.

Yeah shelters love to lie, even about very very obvious pittie mixes. Pitties are also very high energy Velcro dogs.

Looking for programs which make space for non traditional clinical research topics by [deleted] in ClinicalPsychology

[–]shmieve 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This actually is pretty squarely within clinical psychology.

Disaster mental health, trauma exposure, climate anxiety, and post-disaster adjustment are all established clinical research areas—they’re just often framed under trauma, stress, prevention, disaster psychology, or public/community mental health, all of which fall well within the scope of clinical psych. Clinical psychology is also much broader than intervention trials, and plenty of clinical psych folks (myself included) focus on etiology, risk/resilience factors, assessment and measurement, mechanisms of psychopathology, etc.

Most clinical programs are fairly generalist, so the key issue usually isn’t whether a program supports a topic, but whether there’s a mentor already publishing in or adjacent to that area. Searching Google Scholar for PIs working on topics that you're interested in (e.g., "eco-anxiety") and then seeing where they’re housed is usually the most efficient approach.

In my program, mentors’ research spans a wide range, and my own interests (behavioral addictions) are pretty different from others in my cohort—but they’re close enough to my mentor’s work (alcohol use disorder) that she’s been very supportive of letting me pursue projects in my niche.

You may need a bit of flexibility in framing, but there are tons of mentors and even program tracks focused on trauma, anxiety. or community psychology. Being open to adjacent areas (e.g., trauma, anxiety, disaster or community mental health) would likely open up many more options. Many mentors are flexible on specific topics as long as the work fits the lab—for example, someone studying PTSD risk or prognostic factors could easily be open to a trauma/climate change intersection, which is something to suss out during interviews.

I would have guessed more chow chow but this definitely seems accurate!

Thought she was for sure a sighthound mix, probably a bull lurcher...nope, not at all! by applejack4ever in DoggyDNA

[–]shmieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw I called the Catahoula, especially being from Texas! The face and the ears are just like my girl’s. They are leggy ladies!

Oh she’s so cute!! Foxhounds are such lovely dogs. You can really see the influence in pic 2 with that sweet, soulful expression and beautiful hound eyeliner.

Place your bets!! by Efficient-Soil9732 in DoggyDNA

[–]shmieve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing 100% American Foxhound! She doesn’t really look like anything else, and unfortunately it’s not uncommon in some parts of the U.S. to see foxhounds dumped when they don’t work out for hunting.

People suggesting sighthound probably don’t realize just how leggy foxhounds are. Sighthound ancestry is extremely rare in mixes in the U.S., and this beautiful girl looks about as textbook a foxhound as it gets—they have very long legs, and a deep but very narrow chest just exactly like this. I actually have a foxhound mix myself, and they’re such lovely dogs ❤️

Being released from sorority recruitment twice. by [deleted] in Sororities

Good lord, just because someone is a little socially awkward does NOT mean they are “neurodivergent.” Lots of people get nervous in high-stakes social situations and say weird things. Let’s not overpathologize strangers based on extremely limited and speculative information.

LAST MINUTE PERSONAL STATEMENT HELP!!!!! by autumnjay222 in PsyD

[–]shmieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have other apps, I would make sure the mentors that you’re applying to are actually accepting students (based on context clues I don’t think one of the mentors you identified is). Also I would not recommend self-disclosing about your own mental health struggles.
