I liked how the article addressed one of my concerns about this research which is that it is correlational and causal conclusions cannot be drawn, I think this is a good standard and should be common practice with all scientific writing #umassdev22 #week14

This is a really interesting article about how frustration toward discrimination can lead to depression and substance abuse later in life. They found that the more discrimination young adults faced, the more mental health issues they had #umassdev22 #week14

The frustration that manifests in anger or behavioral issues in children who experience discrimination may later be expressed through depression and substance use disorders in young adults, says Dr. Kendell Coker. https://t.co/VTiytLj9uG

Finishing my follows off by following @UMassCADLab, directed by my professor @tmandalaywala! They explore how children learn about communities and themselves! #umassdev22 #week14

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

Following @UMSocCogLab to learn more about learning and behavior in infants. They shared a poster about children recognizing sickness with facial cues! #umassdev22 #week14

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I'm following the FIU Project on Language and Spatial Development @plsdlab to learn more about how children develop language and spatial abilities! #umassdev22 #week14

I'm following @Research_UMass to keep up with the latest research at my university! It's always interesting to see the work that people are doing and celebrate their accomplishments! #umassdev22 #week14

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I am following the Boston College Infant & Child Cognition Lab @bccognition which studies how infants + children + adults understand quantities. They recently posted about how children's own gestures relate to their proportional reasoning skills! #umassdev22 #week13

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

Following the @KarasikLab who studies the social and cultural factors that shape infants. They just shared a study about how standard assessments mask cultural variation + misinform policies about early childhood development. Very interesting stuff! #umassdev22 #week13

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

Following the Infant Cognition Lab from UC Davis because they share cool information that might help parents like the benefits and responsibilities of having a pet! @UCDInfantCogLab #umassdev22 #week13

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

Following the Yale Baby Lab @yalebabylab! They were featured on a PBS NOVA "The Violence Paradox" documentary! #umassdev22 #week13

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I really like how this article discussed multiple studies about race in young and older children, and discussed some ways to raise an anti-racist baby like cultural socialization and how teaching "color-blindness" can actually do more harm than good #umassdev22 #week13

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

This is a really fascinating article that talks about race and children, a topic we discussed in my dev psych class. According to this article, children by 9 months associate their own race with happy music and the opposite race with sad music #umassdev22 #week13

[American Psychological Association @APA]

Psychologists are studying the processes and influences that lead children to develop ideas about race—and how to fight back against the biased messaging they might learn so early. https://t.co/Bna0AY3H4A

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I'm following the UGA Infant Research Lab @ugainfantlab because they seem to share some neat research on visual attention and cognition! #umassdev22 #week12

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I chose to follow @SRAdolescence because they share some interesting research about adolescents - such as a recent one about the "COVID-19 slide" and how schools have reported elevated levels of anxiety, stress, and behavioral problems #umassdev22 #week12

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

Following @SRCDtweets because they retweet recently released articles - this is a good way to stay up to date in developmental research! #week12 #umassdev22

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I'm following @BRCnijmegen because they are a research center in Nijmegen that studies child development - they share some interesting studies like one that suggested 18-month-olds may have self-recognition! #umassdev22 #week12

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

I really liked this article because it summarizes the research, includes some quotes, but mainly it points out that this isn't exactly the fault of parents but the fault of a society with rising expectations and a fear of falling down the social ladder #umassdev22 #week12

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

This research is not surprising to any recent high school graduate - this article cites some meta-analyses about rising perfectionism (and looks at three different types) and how parental pressure may exacerbate it #umassdev22 #week12

[American Psychological Association @APA]

New research in @APA_Journals' Psychological Bulletin suggests that rising parental expectations are linked to increased perfectionism among college students—with damaging mental health consequences. https://t.co/R7fSSb86vn

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

People with autism spectrum disorder may have an impaired sense of self-awareness, referring to themselves in the third person or having difficulties differentiating themselves from other people - but there are some programs in place to help! #umassdev22 #week12

[shayna2022 @shay2022dev]

The effects of childcare have been extensively studied in the field of developmental psychology - one study found that 15-month-olds in childcare were as likely to be securely attached to their mothers as children not in childcare #umassdev22 #week12
