I'm very sad to announce that Prof Stan Sadava (retired Professor of Psychology at Brock University) has passed away.

He was a well-known and widely-respected figure on the Canadian social psychology scene for decades.

New #CanPsych meta-analysis.

Finds very little increase in social anxiety in Canadian undergraduates over past 2 decades.

(makes me ask: why does it SEEM that there is?)

Large-scale study by Gran-Ruaz et al finds US & Canada *comparable* in explicit & implicit racism.

(in Canada, we often hear that racism "is a US problem". Not true!)

I've had several prominent European researchers ask me:

"What's in the water in Canada? How come there's so much great research in psych there??"

Being Canadian, this shocks us.

We genuinely tend toward the "Who, us?" mindset, thinking no-one is noticing.

New paper by Efimoff & @starzyklab.bsky.social @ EJSP

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We need more research like this.

✅ anti-Indigenous bias as topic
✅ longitudinal experiments (!)
✅ compares different education themes

Canadian election study:

Women & LGBTQ2S+ candidates as "sacrificial lambs", placed in less winnable electoral ridings.

Ala Glass Cliff, attention @shellkryan.bsky.social!

Especially for dominant Liberal & Conservative parties.

4-wave study on international students in Canada finds:

Psychosocial Adjustment ==> Acculturation to host society

(but not reverse)

If we help immigrants adjust, they'd acculturate better, it appears.

Meat-eaters are less negative toward vegans who are vegan because of their cancer diagnosis.

Anyone (maybe @markrubin.bsky.social ?) know why Bluesky feeds can go empty?

#PrejudiceResearch & #CanPsych are now showing blanks (but didn't previously).

Do they expire?

In project led by former PhD student Mark Hoffarth, we examined “sinner-sin beliefs” among the religious....

ie “love the sinner, hate the sin” expressed toward LGBT community
