Manuscript submitted! Always a good feeling. It's just the best working with great co-authors Jessica Hunter, @colejohnson.bsky.social, and @sanheeta.bsky.social! Fingers crossed it doesn't get sent back for re-formatting, my absolute pet peeve lol. #amwriting #friyay

This is how I'm feeling for sure.

Nooooo 😂

At least today's email about the new version of Mplus doesn't say anything about AI, lol. Phew!

I am very disturbed and horrified by this. What can we do?

Relationships Between Experiences of Autonomy and Well(Ill)-Being for K-12 Youth: A Meta-Analysis - Educational Psychology Review Childhood and adolescence are pivotal developmental stages for psychological health. An understanding of psychological mechanisms related to well-being is important for promoting positive life outcomes for youth. Research generally shows that the basic psychological need for autonomy is significantly associated with well-being. To examine the magnitude and sources of variation in this relationship, we conducted a meta-analysis of 90 reports to analyze the average effect of autonomy need satisfaction (ANS) and frustration (ANF) on indicators of psychological well- and ill-being for K-12 (Kindergarten to 12th grade) youth. Results indicated that ANS was positively associated with psychological well-being and negatively associated with psychological ill-being among youth. Further, ANF was negatively associated with psychological well-being and positively associated with psychological ill-being. Moderator analyses indicated that the association between ANS and well-being was stronger for studies conducted with children and adolescents in East Asian countries compared to studies conducted in the USA, Canada, or Northern Europe when controlling for publication status and measurement reliability. Results also showed that the average correlation between ANS and well-being was stronger for studies located in more collectivistic countries compared to individualistic countries when controlling for publication status and measurement reliability. The relationship between ANS and ill-being was stronger for studies conducted in the USA and Canada compared to East Asian and European contexts. Together, results suggest that autonomy satisfaction is related to the well- and ill-being of youth across cultural contexts, but that there is cultural variation in the association between experiences of autonomy and well-being.

Children's perceptions that the environment supports their autonomy are correlated with higher reported well-being, and perceptions of autonomy being squelched are correlated with ill-being. Cultural variation in corr strength. Autonomy need support matters! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

#tbt to our @mcgilleducation.bsky.social Learning Sciences bonfire and potluck a couple Saturdays ago. Many thanks to Krista Muis for hosting and to everyone who attended for making it such a fun night! I was extremely touched by the way students organized to mark and celebrate my tenure. ❤️

😂

Come be my colleague! We’re hiring a tenure-track assistant professor of developmental psychology at the University of Denver. Please share with anyone on the job market this year! jobs.du.edu/en-us/job/49...

😂 so true though!

🚀 Exciting news: I’m accepting new graduate students in the McGill Faculty of Education Learning Sciences! If you’re passionate about educational technology, games, AI, and learning sciences, this is your chance to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research program.

It is so cringe.

Three Pines!

So true! It doesn't always feel like it, but feedback is how researchers show love! ❤️

YIKES that's so embarrassing.

Beginning-of-semester problem: ~1 million people trying to schedule their stuff via when2meet polls and me never remembering what I said on the other polls = my answers on the polls are meaningless and I'm double-booked.

Excited to share my new paper in CEP! The part I’m most excited about: we modeled how students’ major intentions shift alongside their motivational beliefs (expectancy, value, cost), offering a snapshot of the beliefs students hold as they navigate decisions about their majors.

Reminder to @aera-motsig.bsky.social folks that @aeraedresearch.bsky.social #AERA26 reviews are due this Friday! Every review helps--let's goooo!

To look at how students make STEM decisions... @aera-motsig.bsky.social

Oh dear.

Heck yes!
