Stephen Olejnik ends his paper summarizing the methodological steps necessary in multivariate analysis of variance with this quote:

"...good research introduces at least as many questions as it answers."

For those of us currently doing psychological research, I thought this was an important point for us to keep in mind. We can only do so much in one paper, but what we leave for readers to uncover next is also of extreme importance, if not equally important to the results of the current study.

If any followers are looking for more statistical guidance, let me know. I am happy to provide resources for different methods commonly used across psychological research.

Hello! I'm talking about your last post. I would like to hear about "creating a tense scene" and can you tell us about your experience in writing very complex emotions?

I want to help you somehow. I wish you all the best

Ohhh two very different ideas! I love this ^.^

Thank you so much for the ideas! Super excited to start plotting some of these ideas out <3

Do you have any advice for writers in the Psych fandom trying to get more readers? I don’t write Shassie or much Shules, but I want to get more involved in the Psych fandom and idk how

ahh i’m probably not the best person to ask, as i haven’t been active for the last…five or so years! and don’t write much in the way of fic as it goes anyway. the only reason i had much of an audience on tumblr was because i could make gifsets lol, but i can give it a shot:

ff.net still has the HORNIEST people, but reviews tend to trickle in over several years

the psychfic community is…still going at it, iirc, but i’m hesitant to recommend them since it’s 2019 and they still don’t allow m/m pairings

uh. i see people post fic on tumblr and it looks like the key is listing genre/word count/summaries above the line break

ao3??? do people still post psych stuff on ao3???

twitter isn’t very fic-friendly but if the psychwrites twitter is any indication, there’s still a lot of fans on there that are active

again i’m really not the authority on this but!! i did find my way to fandom friends through posting in the tags on tumblr, but tumblr is a dying Hellsite and honestly psych is so (relatively) old at this point that the community is bound to be very small

So I found a tweet that is apparently from the writers confirming that Lassie is indeed pansexual?!

To whoever stole my grinder and pipe out of my car last night.

You must've needed my last bowl more than I did. Could've left my skateboard though. Hope you get yourself sorted out.

Psychologists are viewed as the authoritative figures on the topics we study. But that authority comes with important responsibility: we have to remember that it is our interpretations of what happened in the studies that get voiced, not our participants—they rarely get to give their input on how we write about them in our papers and speak about them in the press or in meetings with policymakers (Hegarty & Rutherford, 2019; Lewis & Wai, 2021). There is always a danger when we occupy these positions in which we are speaking for others, particularly when we are speaking for those who have less power than we do (Hegarty & Rutherford, 2019).

Thanks for the reply! Awww damn, I would LOVE to get my hands on those long-lost interviews - any reccs or old tumblr/twitter/lj accounts worth checking out?

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog roll! The following is a mix of (semi-)active and dormant ones for all your hyperfixation needs:

https://psychlowdown.tumblr.com (the GOAT!) https://undersantabarbaraskies.tumblr.com https://wait-for-iiiiiiiiiit.tumblr.com https://afakepsychic.tumblr.com https://binshot-not-lol.tumblr.com https://carlton-lassiter-lesbian.tumblr.com https://cmon-son.tumblr.com https://cupric-solution.tumblr.com https://dailypsych.tumblr.com https://fearlessgusters.tumblr.com https://himboshawn.tumblr.com https://juleshawn.tumblr.com https://lassiessternumbush.tumblr.com https://nocontextpsych.tumblr.com https://psychlover93.tumblr.com https://psych-os.tumblr.com https://psych-the-tv-show.tumblr.com https://pysch.tumblr.com https://santabarbara-skies.tumblr.com/tagged/psych https://shulesalltheway.tumblr.com https://transshawnspencer.tumblr.com https://wedonthaveballs.tumblr.com https://world-of-psych.tumblr.com https://youknowyouareafanofpsych.tumblr

(There are also plenty of multi-fandom gif blogs that I did not list here.)

The old forum on USA Network's website was taken down years ago unfortunately, that one had a ton of good stuff. If you have the patience you can scroll your way through the Psych subreddit but you'll have to go way back as it's become mostly a collection of memes and "here's a pineapple I found in the wild" posts.

I was never super active on LJ so the only recommendation I have is this blog that collected all the references found in each episode (but unfortunately didn’t come back for the movies).

For Twitter, if you’d like to do some scrolling: the Psychwrites account (run by Psych’s staff writers) had a few fun nuggets over the years.

In general I can highly recommend getting the DVDs and watching the episodes that have audio commentaries, those were always fun. And of course Maggie and Tim’s rewatch podcast is a great source of new and old stories.

There are lots of playlists collecting interviews or psych-outs on Youtube but nothing definitive. If you haven’t watched the SDCC panels yet you should be able to find those, along with the millions of cast interviews done during those weekends. That should hold you over for the time being. :)

Pros and cons and psychology behind the fake dating tropes? I'm interested in how these asks are gonna go :)

Oh this one is such a good one! I love it ^.^ And yeah, I'm interested to see where my research and thought process and case visualization takes me for these videos.

Officially on my list, thank you for your support/contribution <3

Stress in Graduate School

The University of Maryland released this past week an article grieving the loss of an undergraduate psychology student who died tragically (College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, 2023). My classrooms on campus this week to say the least, have been grim. My colleagues have been receiving emails from students distressed by the event, where they or a friend saw the student die.

Our students have also been actively following the Israel-Hamas war, seeing the same atrocities and traumas that we all see on our TVs. Teaching young adults during a time such as this is not simple, easy, or emotionally light. If we are to do our best in this situation, it is imperative that our own mental health be given special attention.

Andrew Cain for Inside Higher Ed writes,

I want you to know that you are not alone and many folks on campus see you, understand you and want to support you. Your contributions are valued—and not just those you make in the lab, in the classroom or in scholarly journals. Your worth and your identity extend far beyond such achievements.

It was necessary to take time today to share these words with the followers of this blog. Sharing a bit of hope and kindness have the potential to make small meaningful impacts for our mental and emotional well-being.

Take care,

“The question at stake," said Epictetus, "is no common one; it is this:—Are we in our senses, or are we not?”

Excerpt From The Golden Sayings of Epictetus Epictetus

[psychwritings]

"Active and ongoing self-reflection on issues of power related to individual experiences of privilege and oppression are key to grounding one’s activism and leadership in a larger movement and connecting one’s leadership to actual social change experiences as a result of increased activism. Examples of this might include using the theoretical principles of Critical Race Theory (Delgado & Stefancic, 2001; e.g., racism is pervasive) to guide admissions decisions, course content, student mentoring, faculty discussions, and community engagement (Haskins & Singh, 2015). Other examples might include counseling psychologists intentionally initiating conversations within their professional and personal networks about the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement."

"Regardless of the social change action selected, it is imperative that Black voices be believed, supported, and uplifted by counseling psychologists due to the systemic silencing of Black perspectives within society."
