Iโ€™m just from very close to the border, so I was the only one in my doctoral program who could understand the Zurich fellows when they were talking among themselves.

Oh itโ€™s a fun idea to look at that item! The idea wouldnโ€™t have occurred to me (like itโ€™s used in a different literature than the big five usually), but it makes perfect sense to take this as a relevant indicator.

Here are the monthly Leipzig afterschool care fees (which may also include early mornings iirc)

I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if the pandemic profoundly affected young people! I just donโ€™t know how convincing Iโ€™d consider personality reports as evidence. And Iโ€™m saying that as a personality psychologist ๐Ÿ™ˆ

What really irks me tho is the effect metric (whatโ€™s going on with that) and the lack of confidence intervals (understandable omission for this type of figure).

So I think change over time can be really hard โ€” you have to assume that the items work the same over time (measurement invariance), and also that youโ€™re not capturing change in something else (pandemic stress, changing attitudes towards work).>

Yes, I think itโ€™s extremely important to keep in mind that itโ€™s really just sums over items like these (not sure what the study actually used, possibly the predecessors questionnaire).>

Woah but also people do in fact often raise that argument against subsidized childcare ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This reminds me -- yesterday, the 3yo stared at some greenish murky paint water in a glass on the table and then asked: "Mom, can you make yourself a matcha latte again sometime?"

Indeed. Respectful care also means 1. Treating mother well-being as a priority, in general and especially in the immediate postpartum. Stop normalizing extreme sleep deprivation. Treat mother sleep as a top priority.

Push Back: Guilt in the Age of Natural Parenting A Harvard-trained obstetrician-gynecologist, prominent โ€ฆ

I might have read too many books during pregnancy, but one I quite enjoyed for it's take was Amy Tuteur's "Push Back: Guilt in the Age of Natural Parenting" since it was going against the relentless noise of attachement parenting:
