Introduction to genetic data analysis in the social, behavioural, and health sciences This 4-day course will provide social scientists with the knowledge and skills needed to analyse genetic data, critically interpret results, and integrate genetics into their research.

Behavioral, social and health scientists: if you’d like to combine social and genetic data, this is for you: shorturl.at/8gUcu. This course in London features all aspects from data collection to model estimation in our local cohort data - and the incredible @timtmorris.bsky.social as instructor.

Great! If you ever need another rare test manual, feel free to reach out - our test library is great (it saved me once in a similar situation) :)

Do you still need it @drelsje.bsky.social - I think we have it in our test library.

Original paper: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

"People can see status without seeking status" Per Engzell. Research into social stratification presents a puzzle. On the one hand, across social strata, people agree on a hierarchy of prestige between occupations. On the other, they differ widely in the extent to which they seek social advancement for themselves or their children. If occupational values were shared, we would expect differences in status seeking to be smaller. I resolve this puzzle by distinguishing between consensus beliefs--what we think 'most others value--and what we ourselves value. From this, I sketch a model of status alignment showing how differing preferences shape taste for status versus other attributes. I contrast this with dominant theories that attribute social reproduction to status maintenance: the desire to avoid downward social mobility. A novel empirical test using Swedish survey data shows that status alignment offers the most consistent explanation and best model fit when mothers are asked to evaluate 82 occupations for their child. Across social strata, mothers hold accurate beliefs about what others want, but differ in what they want for their child. Status alignment, not status maintenance, drives social reproduction.

To be fair, I spent longer than I care to admit checking whether it truly was anything psychology related, which tells you how likely it could have been :)

Not saying Psychology doesn't have its many problems, but this does not seem to be either a Psychology paper, journal or author?

Two more weeks to apply 😊

Writing this paper with John Jerrim and Phil Parker got me started on a whole journey about gender differences in over-/underconfidence.
