@KamiiPsy I'm starting my Ph.D. a month before I turn 30. What you do up until "Dr." matters too. I publish research, worked in college counseling, mentor undergrads. If anything, starting my masters at 27 made me feel way more prepared than some of my younger peers. Enjoy the journey!

In this review we found that while personality measurement is often relatively uniform across studies involving coping, coping measures did not have a unified framework and oftentimes coping measures were being used incorrectly or outside of their intended context.

Happy to share my first first author publication "Personality and coping: A systematic review of recent literature." This paper was inspired by the fact I noticed problems in the coping literature after a study last year. Our review supported that idea. https://t.co/YckRrwfVW4

@flowerofmemory Yes, it was a challenge for me. I graduated in Dec. 2019, right before the pandemic. Opportunities for research and growth were very limited so expanding my CV was difficult. That is what eventually led me to pursuing a masters. It is a hard and unfair process, but you can do it!

On top of the fact I accepted a clinical psychology Ph.D. offer yesterday, I just received news from an undergraduate I mentor through a program at my university that they got into their top choice graduate program. I am proud to have been a small part in their journey.

Excited to say that after five years of applying to clinical psychology Ph.D. programs, I finally got my "yes." I have accepted an offer at Mississippi State University where I will continue my education and research on personality traits and personalized interventions.

I went from having heart surgery in March to learning fencing and placing third at my first (novice level) tournament. Very happy with this result.

My research poster got accepted for the SPSP Annual Convention in February. I will be there if any other researchers happen to be going.

@drl4567 @PurdueLibraries @PurdueHHS An increasingly important area, congrats!

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

After recovering fully from my heart surgery I wanted to stay active so I took up HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). I will be joining my first novice tournament next month.

@CDelawalla How I feel, proposing my thesis in two weeks (although I am confident it will be fine, been refining it for months). Good luck with the planning!

1 year old today. Probably the most eventful year of my life, but worth every sleepless night.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

I got matched to be a mentor to an undergraduate through my universities Pathway program. In 2021, I got matched to a mentor who helped me finally breakthrough and get into a masters program. It will be nice to be able to pay that forward.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

After 4 failed cycles to clinical Ph.D. programs, then taking time to complete two masters and refine my research interests and experiences, I am feeling hopeful for this cycle. My goal has never waivered, I've just learned that you have to keep learning and growing.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

@drl4567 I think research is most interesting when we design it in such a way that even if our hypotheses aren't supported, we learn something meaningful. If reasoning/review supports a theory but data doesn't, that can be an exciting find and lead to new questions.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

@SolomonKurz Does high openness to experience "cause" one to engage in more experiences? I would say not directly, because behaviors are not the product of one singular trait. They increase/decrease the likelihood of certain outcomes, and this is moderated/mediated by many things.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

@CDelawalla Like, googling and learning something is nice, but I can use chatgpt like a pseudo teacher. The learning process is a conversation. "Is this why x works like this or am I misunderstanding?"

The trick for me is to not outsource my thinking to it, but have it be a supplement.

[Chris Guadalupe @ChrisGPsych]

@CDelawalla I use it very frequently. Specifically for non-generative purposes like asking it questions or helping me learn something. Chatgpt was super nice when I was learning R originally because if code didn't work I could paste it and ask it why and it could detail it.

Spent this past weekend in Vegas competing in EVO. Went 4-2 in my main game (granblue) and got to bring my son to his first big event. Despite being 112 degrees, was a great time.
