In need of an instrument to measure online experiences of sexual objectification? This new paper by Cary et al. outlines the validation of the Online Sexual Objectification Experiences Scale! An excellent and useful new contribution to this literature!

Sex ed isn't where we want it to be yet. This means you might have to talk to your kid about sex. If this seems scary we have resources for you. Here is an age based guide on how to talk about sex with your kids in a kid friendly, sex positive way.

I'm excited to share our #sexting motivations paper (led by @KirstenGreer10). We found that if people (especially single women) sent sexts to avoid negative feelings, they experienced more negative consequences. @KylaMCary @taracornelius2 @DrMDrouin https://t.co/7KacvB0Mdv

A new study from @HopkinsMedicine confirms that the earlier parents, educators, and health care workers have age-appropriate and honest discussions about safe sex with young people, the better their long-term sexual health will be. Learn more: https://t.co/FW0FmJbmDR

Facebook has rejected ads from 60 companies focused on women’s sexual health, citing policies on “adult products and services," yet many ads targeting men were accepted despite appearing to break the social media platform’s policy. https://t.co/AVwr0k3KIK

Abortion is a women’s issue, it is a trans men’s issue, it is a two-spirit, intersex, non-binary, and agender issue. It is an issue for all people who become pregnant and all people who know that body autonomy is an essential human right.

Positive sexual experiences in adolescence and young adulthood are so ignored. This scale helps highlight the importance of it and allows for it to be studied in a more reliable way #sexscience #adolescence #sexed #sexualhealth #pleasureishealth

@RyanPBowles Already learning so much about #AppliedMeas after just week 1! Looking forward to learning more about IRT and hope to be able to validate a new measurement instrument that I've created and collected data on by the end of the class.
