Happy to announce our taxonomy of women's defenses against sexual violence is now published at Evolutionary Psychological Sciences: rdcu.be/fzu1J
Anyone want to help my undergraduate with data collection for their research methods project?
"Our project is on health behavior pathways to psychological and physical resilience. It takes an estimated 10 minutes."

Tactics to defend against the costs of a completed sexual assault include:
- aftermath concealment (e.g., camouflaging bruises, showering)
- seeking medical support (e.g., morning-after pills, mental health support)
- social withdrawal
- posttraumatic stress

When an artist was accused of sexual assault, people were more willing to censor or financially devalue the work than after accusations of murder, physical assault, vandalism, manslaughter, or sexual harassment.

Men underestimated women’s emotional distress after intimate-partner sexual assault, while women overestimated men’s distress & perceived risk; men, however, were relatively accurate about women’s fear & perceived risk.

Out now and open access for four weeks as the editor's choice Topic in Focus in American Psychologist.
Contrary to popular belief, evolutionary psychology hypotheses are testable and falsifiable.
This semester, I designed a capstone course to set undergraduate students up for success with (a) applying for graduate school during the current cycle or (b) transitioning into the workforce. In Week 1, I had students set goals and report their hopes for the course.
Many stated they were nervous about the mock interview day I planned in collaboration with @indianastate 's career center. Upon reflection, they appreciated the challenge and stated significant confidence gained in advocating for themselves in their career of interest.
Feel like helping students in my research methods course? Consider taking part in some of their surveys!
A survey about personal college career experience and choosing a major for current students. Takes about 5 minutes: indstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…
A survey on happiness and nature for those older than 18. Takes about 10 minutes: indstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…
A survey on art appreciation for those older than 18. Takes between 5 and 10 minutes:
