This is a very cool paper. It first shows that first-gen college students don't realize a lot of unwritten rules that lead to success (the value of internships, student clubs, letters from professors).
But giving them access to an LLM for guidance significantly closes the gap.
Completely nonsensical politicization of scientistics identifying and correcting problems in science.
- Gino's research was not "promoting progressive ideas"
- The problems were not found by "bloggers," but by leading researchers/faculty in the same scientific discipline.

Stereotype threat does not replicate
Prior research found that women (not men) underperform on a math test to assess gender differences (d=0.82; Johns et al. 2005).
But 8 studies (N=1502) failed to replicate stereotype-threat among women (d=0.01).

Many fields—including psychology, sociology, communications, political science, and computer science— use computational methods to analyze text data.
We find that the all versions of #GPT are capable of accurately detecting various psychological constructs in text across 12 languages,
Using simple prompts and no additional training data. GPT thus overcomes the limitations present in existing text analysis methods.
For instance, GPT (r = 0.59 to 0.77) performed much better than dictionaries (r = 0.20 to 0.30) at detecting psychological constructs.
GPT is also effective in several lesser-spoken languages.

The world (& Twitter) is easier to understand when you realize some people are high reactance, they just don’t like being told what to do & if they feel restricted by rules, they do the opposite
If you make people high in reactance sign an agreement not to cheat, they cheat more
Whatever the agreement to not push back or fact-check in real time-- this is disturbing to me.
This is how democracy and norms get eroded. Fact-checking and preparedness are part of the safeguards to keep people in power accountable.
This nation is in trouble.
I’ve always said that I know that a manuscript is ready to submit for publication when it “sings.” It’s not just varied sentence structure that makes a paper sing— it needs to go through a number of other stages first. 🧵
10 years ago today, Google revealed that only 31% of its employees were women. Other tech firms followed suit.
In a new paper (https://t.co/sVAMoxmSKv), we use these announcements to estimate how & how much investors value workforce gender diversity. The answer? +$$$. 🧵
My first JPSP paper of my career! ⭐️With @AnaliaAlbuja Diana Sanchez & @JaelynNixon_ we measure how intergroup contact from @DukeU’s randomized roommate policy boosts friend diversity! Check out this write up all about this @NSF funded work!
