The title superficially seems “causal” but it does say “…in analyses of…”. They also take great pains to find counter evidence in the paper. I never believe that any one study definitively answers anything, however, I do respect a study that is well done, and I felt that this one was.
23.11.2025 21:13 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This is a cool study, leveraging a huge dataset. The stats approach was sophisticated/rigorous. One caveat was that language use could only be assessed at a census rather than individual level bc of the data available. Both levels would be ideal but the authors did what they could. Kudos to them!

Wondering if anyone can point me to a guide or set of resources on "how to create compelling/accessible data figure plots" for #psychology or #linguistics students.
Ditto for "creating compelling/accessible data tables".
Thank you.
It's a shame it took me almost a month to find out Margaret Boden died. And it's a shame it took most media a month to write about one of the greatest philosophers of the last century.

Language matters: training care staff to minimize elderspeak in assisted living/nursing homes led to reductions in non-compliance and use of antipsychotics among patients.
Sometimes the “affected” person isn’t the problem.
