Giving the outrage a name – how researchers are challenging employment conditions under the hashtags #IchBinHanna and #IchBinReyhan
Outraged by the release of a ministerial video in which short-term employment contracts in German academia were lauded through the embodiment of fictitious doctoral researcher Hanna, thousands of researchers rallied behind the hashtags #IchBinHanna & #IchBinReyhan to vent their frustrations about precarious academic employment in Germany. The emerging connective action attracted a comparatively large number of researchers in a short period of tim…
Computational analysis of US congressional speeches reveals a shift from evidence to intuition
Pursuit of honest and truthful decision-making is crucial for governance and accountability in democracies. However, people sometimes take different perspectives of what it means to be honest and how to pursue truthfulness. Here we explore a continuum of perspectives from evidence-based reasoning, rooted in ascertainable facts and data, at one end, to intuitive decisions that are driven by feelings and subjective interpretations, at the other. We…
From alternative conceptions of honesty to alternative facts in communications by US politicians
The spread of online misinformation on social media is increasingly perceived as a problem for societal cohesion and democracy. The role of political leaders in this process has attracted less research attention, even though politicians who 'speak their mind' are perceived by segments of the public as authentic and honest even if their statements are unsupported by evidence. By analysing communications by members of the US Congress on Twitter bet…
Sex Differences in the Romantic Relationships of Same-Gender Couples: The Role of Visibility Management
Although internalized homonegativity (IH) in lesbian, gay, or bisexual people (LGBs) predicts adverse relationship satisfaction, this association has typically only been examined on an individual level. Moreover, studies often ignore potential mechanisms that underlie sex differences. One of these mechanisms is related to visibility management (i.e., the careful, planned decisions about whether or not to disclose one's sexual orientation). Theref…
A Matter of Perspective: An Exploratory Study of a Theory of Mind Autism Intervention for Adolescents
Theory of Mind (ToM) is the capacity to make attributions of mental states such as thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of others. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder are often characterized by delayed or impaired Theory of Mind development and poor social skills. A positive correlation between Theory of Mind skills and social skills exists, but effective interventions that generalize these skills have proven to be a challenge in the field. Furt…

Participants’ evaluation of consultation: Implications for training in school psychology
Evaluation of graduate students’ consultation skills is essential to competent practice in school settings. Congruence of evaluation of the consultation experience has been shown as an important factor in the development of competent consultants in other, related disciplines. The current study analysed student consultant and teacher consultee perspectives on several dimensions, including school system entry, knowledge gaps, territorial concerns, …
Development of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Visibility Management Scale
Many lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals manage the degree to which their sexual orientation is known to others. Visibility management, the process of regulating the exposure of one's orientation, is an important part of the lesbian/gay/bisexual experience in community, family, and virtually all other social settings. The degree to which one allows his or her sexual orientation to be visible can have a profound impact on stress, health, …
Visibility Management and the Body: How Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Youth Regulate Visibility Nonverbally
The authors employed grounded theory to explore the high school experiences of gay, lesbian, and bisexual students in Central Texas. The central phenomenon that emerged from the study was Visibility Management, or decisions made regarding the disclosure of invisible traits. This article reviews the results of this research with an emphasis on the ways in which gay, lesbian, and bisexual participants used nonverbal strategies to manage their visib…
Visibility management in school and beyond: A qualitative study of gay, lesbian, bisexual youth
Grounded theory was utilized to develop a theory of gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) youths’ interactions with and response to their environment. Data included in‐depth interviews of 20 GLB youth. The central phenomenon that emerged from the qualitative data analysis was the strategy of visibility management . Visibility management refers to the dynamic, ongoing process by which GLB youth make careful, planned decisions about whether they will di…
