We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control. These are sizable transfers. 1/ 🧵

As a father with a child of similar age to Ross’s daughter I could never imagine choosing to move away from my daughter. Really quite a difficult watch. #MAFSUK

Not gonna lie, the “terrorise your bum hole” comment is the highlight of the series. Hilarious TV. Imagine the nicknames Luke will be given: the Maltese terroriser or the terror of Malta #MAFSUK

We are very excited to begin this important project looking into men’s mental health services. Watch this space, we will have some interesting stuff to report soon and may even be recruiting participants a little further down the line.

So pleased to finally see this paper in print. In what we think is one of the largest meta-analyses of animal behaviour, we find no evidence for inequity aversion in nonhumans (in accept/reject paradigms). Led by Oded Ritov & with Jan Engelmann & Christoph Völter. 👇

Been waiting to see this one. ManyBabies replication of the famous 'infants prefer helpers over hinderers' effect finds "the current work did not replicate ... the preference for the Helper observed in the original paradigm". Going straight into my lectures.

“Participants reacted less positively to the male-favoring than the female-favoring findings. The male-favoring aversion remains one of the most robust and replicable findings I’ve encountered in my research career.” [Link below.]

Physical attraction is central to relationship formation. There are deep evolutionary reasons as to why. Tim has said some awful things, but the experts should have known that paring people who are unlikely to be attracted to each other together is recipe for hurt. #MAFSAU

Gaslighting: Tim to producers: ‘she’s not physically what I like’ Tim to Katie: ‘you’re not my type/I like petite blonds’ Katie to Tim: ‘the spark is a mask to hide that in not your type’ Tim to Katie: ‘you’re so focused on looks. That’s shallow. Why you doing that?’ #MAFSAU

Are opposite-sex friendships ever truly platonic? I polled 527 heterosexual/bisexual people. ✅ 81% of women said yes ❌ Only 58% of men said yes Women were 3× more likely than men to say their friendship was purely platonic (OR = 3.03, 95% CI [1.77, 5.17]) Statistically

1. The Santa Barbara school of evolutionary psychology holds that a universal set of complex psychological adaptations evolved in Pleistocene Africa. In no particular order, here are few folks on here doing research in this tradition, highlighting one paper/thread each:🧵
