Higher IQ is correlated with success, but that is often confounded by incentives at school or work (intelligent people might also be working harder). New research suggests high-IQ people are successful also when incentives don’t matter, writes @ewdolan: buff.ly/amv9Ovy

Research suggests that people with lower socioeconomic status are less likely to negotiate their compensation and benefits, and more likely to experience a social backlash when they do, writes @ewdolan: buff.ly/J95yPV5

Psychology professors often self-censor on controversial topics, study finds

Anyone can check the study themselves. Only 3.1% of the sample prioritized social equity over truth. The majority prioritized truth. But it was a slim majority... 40.5% said "it's complicated."

This is really sad: When psychology professors are asked whether they'd put the truth before social equity concerns, 66.4% of male professors said yes, but fewer than half of female professors (43%) agreed. In both groups, too many put equity before truth.
