Would not have been possible without the support of my supervisors @jetten_j and @HemaPreya. Thank you both!

@jetten_j @HemaPreya We introduce social class as a central variable in the study of collective action against inequality, and we found that collective action was highly prevalent among the middle class, a group that is often overlooked in collective action research (4/n)

In our new paper, we find that marginalised group members evaluate allies more positively if (a) their allyship persists in the face of personal costs, and (b) they have little to personally gain from their allyship. @jarren @UQPsych https://t.co/nn9CyvSC7B

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Last semester, I had students do the "UnEssay" assignment in my 3rd year social psychology course on group processes & intergroup relations.

Students rose to the challenge and absolutely blew me away!!! 😭

Here are some examples of their creations (shared with permission)...

There's now an even easier way to run a power analysis for an interaction! We've launched a new Shiny app for the {InteractionPoweR} package functions for analytic power. The app is reactive and helps you to visualize your model as you run the analysis: https://t.co/KmHCOdTD5e
