Does Powerlessness Enhance Stimulus-Driven Attention Allocation Towards Threat-Related Stimuli? From Robin Willardt and @mreutter.bsky.social doi.org/10.1525/coll...

What do you think will be the result of the following line of R code? tibble(x = c(1, 2, NA)) %>% filter(x != 2) I was rather surprised to find out :). The answer is in the comments. #rstats

I guess it would be nice to have a function "filter_out" that only DROPS values that evaluate to TRUE in its argument, keeping NAs in the data.frame. The alternative, as always, is that you handle NAs explicitly in your function but it's just easy to forget them :)

What do you think will be the result of the following line of R code? tibble(x = c(1, 2, NA)) %>% filter(x != 2) I was rather surprised to find out :). The answer is in the comments. #rstats

I cannot state this enough: The filter function cannot know if the logical values it received stem from a comparison of equvialence (e.g., x == 1) or of inequivalence (e.g., x != 2). It just receives a vector of logical values (including NAs). Therefore, it only makes sense to drop NA values.

What do you think will be the result of the following line of R code? tibble(x = c(1, 2, NA)) %>% filter(x != 2) I was rather surprised to find out :). The answer is in the comments. #rstats

Surprisingly, both 2 and NA get dropped, leaving only a tibble with the first entry of x == 1. The reason behind this is that NA != 2 gets evaluated as NA and not as TRUE and NAs are dropped in filter (which makes sense).

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

osf.ioDiagnostic Facial Features & Fear GeneralizationHosted on the Open Science Framework

Of course, all data, analysis scripts, and further materials are openly available🔓 #openscience osf.io/4gz7f/

Here is the histogram of social anxiety scores. Almost half of the scores are above the optimal remission cutoff by von Glischinski et al. (2018).

We also observed generalization patterns in heart rate modulation💓 and pupil size changes🥺. Notably, only individuals with high anxiety showed an acceleration component↗️ after initial fear bradycardia↘️, indicating defensive reactions🛡️ on top of orienting responses🧭.

We replicated an attentional bias towards eyes compared to mouth and nose but individuals were able to adjust towards diagnostic facial features. Interestingly, people with high anxiety looked to non-diagnostic regions more quickly (hyperscanning?).

Participants acquired fear quickly and generalized it to morphs of faces (osf.io/wgqnj/wiki/h...) in a curved fashion✅. Highly anxious individuals showed overall higher subjective threat ratings✅ but no difference in generalization patterns compared to lowly anxious ones❌.

I would love your opinion on doi.org/10.1016/j.ch..., which uses temporal networks to offer a glimpse into the causal structure of well-being and social media use. Really convincing design in my opinion🧐

@ldeserno.bsky.social & me are recruiting a new postdoc to work with us in lovely Würzburg🍷🏰🚣‍♀️🌳 on the development of internalising/externalising symptoms / their computational basis.a collaborative project with @nathanieldaw.bsky.social happy to answer any question! www.psychjob.eu/de/job/post-...

🚨Paper alert! 🚨 Our longitudinal data (N = 307) with a true pre-pandemic baseline shows that healthy people report *LESS* psychological strain during pandemic downturn than before🧐! Most people were resilient to pandemic stressors💪 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

The article is published open access 🔓! You should download the PDF because, in the online version, the colors of the figures are distorted😵

Thanks a lot for your input and support Grit Hein, @gamerlab.bsky.social, Paul Pauli, Katharina Hutterer, Marthe Gründahl, Dominik Gall, Udo Dannlowski, Katharina Domschke, Elisabeth J. Leehr, @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social, Ulrike Lueken, Andreas Reif, Miriam A. Schiele, Peter Zwanzger! 🥰

Most risk factors showed the same surprising pattern: Stronger strain before the pandemic but *SMALLER* increase toward its peak. Do burdened (but healthy) individuals have a ⚽️home field advantage🥅 during a crisis?🛡️

In case you love statistics: The median splits🎭 are just for simplicity during plotting. Of course, we confirmed our statistical models using risk factors as (centered) continuous predictors📏.
