My family doesn’t ask me when I’ll get in a relationship, when I’ll get married, or when I’ll have kids. Instead they ask me how I am, how is the new job, how is the new city, and when can they come visit. Thankful for their questions.

This new study by @KA_Hamilton2 et al in New Media & Society (journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…) is a great conceptual replication and an extension of my original studies on self-endorsing (tiny.cc/zl7msz). Always nice to see your work being successfully replicated.
