In our new paper, we find that marginalised group members evaluate allies more positively if (a) their allyship persists in the face of personal costs, and (b) they have little to personally gain from their allyship. @jarren @UQPsych doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12670

There's now an even easier way to run a power analysis for an interaction! We've launched a new Shiny app for the {InteractionPoweR} package functions for analytic power. The app is reactive and helps you to visualize your model as you run the analysis: david-baranger.shinyapps.io/…
