These questions are not uncommon even when applying for a short-term visa. Given how difficult it can be to travel to conferences, I’ve learned to use my writing to participate in scholarly conversations.

[Junlin Yu @Junlin_Yu]

The discussion on conferences and visas really resonates with me. Planning to go to a conference in Canada and spent >3h yesterday providing the exact dates of all the places that I have lived in, jobs that I have had, and countries that I have been to in the the past 10 years.

How can teachers and schools support students’ growth mindset? Our new study highlights the promise of guided inquiry and a focus on developing the whole child, as well as the potential risk of ineffective task differentiation

Anyone is submitting to #SRA2022 ? I have a project on gender and adolescents' STEM choices. Let me know if you are interested in presenting together! Any work on gender and STEM would be great.

I review a lot of LCA/LPA papers.

On this 🐦 app, I once saw someone say that these analyses almost always result in “mild, medium, and spicy” classes (so don’t over-interpret them). I’d never put that in a review, but damn... that’s a handy framing.

I am really excited to share a theoretical review that is forthcoming in Social and Personality Psychology Compass. In it, I argue that persistence in daily life is really about *returning* to our goals rather than *never giving up* on them.

Our latest paper is out. Young people who reject traditional gender stereotypes are more motivated, engaged, and achieve higher grades in GCSEs. (with @RosMcLellan and Liz Winter).

@martynsteiner @RosMcLellan Thanks! We did control for pupil premium status and it didn't change the results. PP status was also not linked to boys' pattern of gender role conformity. Obviously PP is only a rough proxy for disadvantage so perhaps a different SES indicator would reveal different results.

[Junlin Yu @Junlin_Yu]

@GraceEHealy Thank you Grace - this research would not be possible without your support!

[Junlin Yu @Junlin_Yu]

Growth mindset students prefer learning goals, and fixed mindset students prefer performance goals? Our study shows that people hold more nuanced combinations of mindset and goal orientations. @RosMcLellan
