@Prolific might be interested in this recent work by my colleagues and me.

[Sociological Methodology @SocMethod]

R. Gordon Rinderknecht and colleagues assess the daily lives of on MTurk and Prolific respondents. Their findings urge researchers to consider how differing daily routines might affect study outcomes when using crowdsourcing samples.

@longdoan, Liana Sayer, and I have a new paper comparing the time use patterns of MTurk and Prolific respondents, and we show how they both differ from contemporaneous data collected by the American Time Use Survey (ATUS): https://t.co/0HqGLDg2HB

Less transparency on social media = more disinformation. It's harder for researchers to fight it. We need to teach people how to spot disinformation tactics. New oped by @R_Gordon_R ⬇️

I replicated this (my screenshot below).
Really great example of gender bias, for those of you who need a canonical example to make the point.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

[Rex Woodbury @rex_woodbury]

Teens who meet up with their friends 'almost every day' is down from 50% in the 90s to 25% today.

Falls off a cliff around 2010, alongside the rise of smartphones and social media.

[Demographic Fact A Day @demfactaday]

The US marriage rate has fallen 65% in the last 50 years. The number of people marrying in 2021 was a million less than the peak in 1984.

[Demographic Fact A Day @demfactaday]

The average American now spends just less than half their years between age 15 and 75 married -- down from 70% for men and 64% for women in 1960.

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now.

For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous.

But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.

[R Gordon Rinderknecht @R_Gordon_R]

@T_mWolff @ezagheni @longdoan @LCHSayer Thanks! And sure, I can share a demo with you. Can you DM me your email? Diaries capture the co-presence of types of people rather than specific people, but I'd be curious to hear your ideas for how it might still be useful for collecting network data.

[R Gordon Rinderknecht @R_Gordon_R]

I have a new paper w/ @longdoan and @LCHSayer describing the diary I spent almost half of my time in grad school programing: https://t.co/HFKgYmYjYi

Our new paper finds full-time working mothers reported smaller stress increases following the COVID-19 outbreak than women with most other mothering and employment statuses.
