Our study tracking empathy across 3 generations over 25 years is out in Child Development Society for Research in Child Development🎉 We observed moms' empathy for teens & teens' empathy for their friends at 13-19, +assessed parenting 10y later. Here's what we found:🧵1/4 srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Many autistic young people experience anxiety and depression. To understand better why this is and how to help, we want to hear from autistic young people and parents. Let us know if you are interested, and/or pass on to others. Also, RTs gratefully received! 🙏

New preprint: We introduce MrDAG the first causal graphical model for Mendelian randomization (MR) to detect dependency relations within multiple exposures and within multiple outcomes to pinpoint which exposures cause disease biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Follow 🧵 for more. 1/

"Autistic and non-autistic adolescents report similar overall empathy levels" but "parents of autistic adolescents perceived them as having overall lower levels of empathy" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/au… "findings do not support previous views of autistic people as having less empathy"

Interesting...could these be signs of hope? 🙏

A new study by Prof. Anat Perry @anatperry.bsky.social from #HUJI explores a hybrid model for mental health therapy, blending AI support with essential human empathy and emotional engagement. For the full article👇🏻 medicalxpress.com/news/2024-07-a…

An insightful use of the #RDoC framework in clinical settings. The study investigates the ability of large language models to estimate RDoC dimensions from narrative clinical notes of adult psychiatric inpatients; doi.org/10.1016/j.xjma… Roy Perlis

Highly recommended! It’s a great opportunity to work with a brilliant mind on a fascinating reseach.

Well, it happened again. We we were looking for some trial data on what happens to kids if you treat their parent's mental health problem. This time we looked at parental bipolar & schizophrenia. Simple question really. So, what did we find? 🧵 frontiersin.org/journals/psych…

Happy to share our new paper on prenatal maternal cry processing, infants’ affective concern and negative emotionality. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Feeling like it's the first day of school! 😊 Excited to kick off my postdoc research position at MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Cambridge University

New paper alert! Our findings challenge the deficit-oriented view of empathy in schizophrenia. Instead, we suggest individuals with schizophrenia tend to show a different reorganisation of emotions and cognitions when facing others' feelings. Check it out!

New paper led by Yael Dann in collaboration with bestie Florina Uzefovsky looking at paternal depressive symptoms and infants' early empathy responses (spoiler: not necessarily what you would expect). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ps…

Finally published! In a longitudinal study (N=250) we show that empathy development is a dynamic, bidirectional process. We found that children's cognitive empathy buffered personal distress for mothers at high risk for maltreatment. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… Adi Meidan 🎗️🇮🇱 Ido Shalev
