As July comes to a close, many are starting to work on their grad school apps. Last year I wrote a series of reflections on my experience applying to non-clinical psych PhD programs in the US. I hope some of you applying this cycle will find it helpful! kpetrova.com/resources

@eblissmoreau @p1sh *So much* potential interesting stuff at this intersection. Thanks @eblissmoreau!

This was both a lot of fun to work on and a long time coming - thanks to our interdisciplinary co-author team, @jackiereitzes, our reviewers, the supportive Emotion editors, and all our participants, especially those from @nyugradacting! 🎭💓💭👏 7/7 Fin

Does this matter outside of the study? Quantitative assessments of 'acting ability' are about as hard to come by as you might expect, but exploratory analyses suggest there might be a relationship. #futureresearchplz 6/7
