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

Didn't get an offer to a psych PhD program? "don’t despair... Process it and reflect on it, but then move on if you can. There are so many things that go into this process and only some of them have to do with you. Take a deep breath, and look forward." sokolhessnerlab.com/howapply…

Interviews were fun/exhausting... how do admission offers work?! It varies place to place, but keep in mind... -You only need 1 offer you're excited about! -Accept/turn down offers as soon as you know. -Put you & your choice first, while respecting others. sokolhessnerlab.com/howapply…
