How does peer victimization impact adolescents’ confidence in school? Our study finds that sleep disturbances & daytime dysfunction play a key role. Intervening on sleep could help break the cycle! Check out our findings: doi.org/10.1177/016502… @DrAdamHoffman @hannah_schacter

Wayne State’s administration says they won’t meet with us this Friday. Sign this letter of support urging the University to treat graduate workers with the respect we deserve: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The first NIH grant I've ever written, with my dream mentor and dream topic, just disappeared. Eliminated today, just like that, thanks to the recent 'Executive Order on Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing' Hundreds of hours of work, just gone.

Had a fantastic time presenting at University of Buffalo for the VITAL program! Met incredible people and learned about mind-blowing work. Now if only I could pack Niagara Falls in my carry-on and bring it home with me…🤔

Woohoo! Congratulations to the best mentor ever @hannah_schacter! Very well deserved.

I'm recruiting for my dissertation! I'm seeking #Latinx/e undergrads to complete a survey on their socialization with their grandparents & other measures of well-being. Please share this with your circles! Link: tinyurl.com/32zskm7b #psychology #Research #DevelopmentalScience

Just one week from today!! 2024-25 Virtual Colloquium Series - Dr. Hannah Schacter (2023 Early Career Award recipient) next Tuesday, 11:30am-12:45pm ET, will present on "Understanding the Effects of Peer Victimization on Adolescent Health: Pathways and Protective Factors." @UBGSE

How to scare a researcher!

As folks go on the academic job market, here is a deck on my experience navigating the application, the phone/zoom interview, the campus visit & the offer. It includes my spreadsheet, interview questions, campus itinerary, etc. Take care of yourself! docs.google.com/presentation/d…

As a graduate student, I love getting the yearly headshots. You can see the under-eye bags getting darker and the shoulders dropping as the years go by 🫠

The Call for Submissions for #SRCD25 is now open! The SRCD 2025 Biennial Meeting will be held on May 1-3,2025, in person in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

We found that teens who engaged in an affirmation writing exercise about their identities or values several times over a year maintained their self-esteem. Yay! However, teens that didn’t affirm themselves, declined in their self-esteem over the year (as expected).

So, @hannah_schacter and I ran a study to see what we could learn! We conducted the study with teens because their self-esteem normally declines during adolescence. We wanted to see if affirmations could prevent these declines.

My favourite part of academia is when you first get what you think is a great idea, assemble a stack of good books to read, and nothing about the project annoys you yet

@adehrhardt @PUBLICBikes The only thing missing is your purple jacket and your grad school starter pack is complete.

My purple bike (@PUBLICBikes) and I have basically been through grad school together🤷‍♀️so it kind of graduated, too 😂 Congrats to all my fellow graduates - we did it! 🥳

VERY EXCITING NEWS!!! Our guide on how to write LGBTQ+ research manuscripts is now available online in all of its extremely long glory! This was such a labor of love among an amazing team of researchers, clinicians, mentors, and students. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-…

I really thought this whole writing a dissertation process would be harder. Look at how much progress I’ve made today!

Last day at SRA and the Wayne State Scholars went out with a bang! Presentations? Fire. Audience? Even fierier. Rounded off our first conference together with the gang by indulging in some boba and s’mores! #SRAChicago2024

@__Rachacha__ @adehrhardt Thank you!

@FaizunBakth @adehrhardt You did so great!! Congrats!!

Completed my first ever symposium presentation! My voice was doing the cha-cha, but the grins from my lab crew turned all my mountain-sized nerves into little molehills. Teamwork makes the dream work—or at least stops you from fainting on stage! 📸 by @adehrhardt #SRACHICAGO2024
