According to #Census2021, 37% of England & Wales are non-religious, and the non-religious outnumber Christians in Wales. Collective worship laws do not represent us. Want to help replace collective worship with inclusive assemblies? Sign our petition. humanists.uk/what-you-can-d…

Tomorrow! The @RelMedCentre is hosting a briefing for the release of new #census2021 data on Religion and belief. Speakers including EA's own @LoieLee

Every single university in the UK will strike for 3 days at the end of Nov if the employer does not resolve our disputes The ball is now firmly in their courts Let’s build for the strikes The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike #ucuRISING

I'm very excited that we've now started recruiting participants for this project! I'm hoping we'll be able to make a real difference in the support offered to people leaving religion. Please share it with any suitable groups!

🚨BREAKING: USS NEWS!🚨 Give us back our pensions - now! #ucuRISING

New Statistics Canada data suggests that ~37% of the Canadian population now has no religion. Quite the increase from ~24% in 2011. Christians now represent 53% of the population, down from 67% (2011) #nonreligion #secular #religion

I finally made a website for my stats/DS/R artwork (thanks for dealing with my unruly ReadMe for so long, everyone😅). I hope the site makes it easier to explore, find & use the artwork in your materials. This is where I'll add new stuff from now on. allisonhorst.com

At long last, a meta-analysis of aspects of religion/spirituality and life satisfaction (i.e. well-being) is finally out. Results consistent with prior meta-analyses over the decades, overall r = .18. I find it fascinating that the effect size is so small! researchgate.net/publication/36…

What are conspiracy theories? In this Annual Review of Psychology paper, Robbie Sutton and I analyse the defining features that determine why people believe them, what their consequences are, and why people share them @AnnualReviews @CONSPIRACY_FX annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

New article in @ConversationUK! In this article I describe what our research suggests as to why young people may be more likely to believe in COVID-19 conspiracy theories, but also give an overview of gradients of COVID-19 denial & what we can do about it theconversation.com/young-people-m…

This week we launch a ballot of over 70,000 @UCU members across every university in the UK. It’s the same story as elsewhere. Gross profiteering, suppressing workers pay, pension attacks and casualisation. Our members are ready to fight. RT if you stand with them. #ucuRISING

Kill the feedback “sandwich” 🥪! The sandwich (start with something positive, then the negative, then something positive) is bad: it backfires - not changing incorrect behavior while also upsetting the recipient. Don’t manipulate, here are feedback tips: hbr.org/tip/2019/11/fe…

@alison_nuske @ginnybraun @drvicclarke Nollaig Frost's "Qualitative Research Methods in Psychology: Combining Core Approaches" explores those issues too and discusses the strengths & weakness of doing so. The term they prefer is 'pluralistic qualitative research' which should help find articles too.

@ginnybraun @drvicclarke Thanks. I am more thinking where there are multiple sets of data as part of a larger project. Analysing one set using IPA (for the ideographic purpose) and the second set using RTA (as it is less suited to ideographic analysis). Can this be done?

Anyone have examples of research which has used a combination of Reflexive Thematic Analysis and IPA? (i.e in a large project with more than one set of data). I am looking on the TA website but not sure I am searching in the right place. @ginnybraun @drvicclarke
