Men underestimated women’s emotional distress after intimate-partner sexual assault, while women overestimated men’s distress & perceived risk; men, however, were relatively accurate about women’s fear & perceived risk.

@esworldwide Thanks, Eric!

This semester, I designed a capstone course to set undergraduate students up for success with (a) applying for graduate school during the current cycle or (b) transitioning into the workforce. In Week 1, I had students set goals and report their hopes for the course.

[Rebecka Hahnel-Peeters @RandomMutations]

They leave the course with peer reviewed application materials for a job of their choice or a graduate program. Let me tell you: These young professionals are impressive folks!

This was a new course for our department, & I'm so thankful I was included in its development.

Many stated they were nervous about the mock interview day I planned in collaboration with @indianastate 's career center. Upon reflection, they appreciated the challenge and stated significant confidence gained in advocating for themselves in their career of interest.

AI “friends” - comfort with a cost

Spoke w @nationaljournal about why chatbots pals can feel good—but quietly erode our ability to handle real friendships

If friends never ask stuff of you, you don’t learn to navigate real bonds

Bots don't replace the hard, human parts of love

🚨New in @BBSJournal:
"Ecological Affordances across Life Stages: An Affordance Management Framework" is out as a target article & now open for commentary proposals! Ever wonder why an environment once full of promise 🥰 can later feel constraining 😮‍💨? https://t.co/ZwBTScG60Q 🧵

[Rebecka Hahnel-Peeters @RandomMutations]

I also will not be attending for this reason.
