Proud advisor moment after watching @abbie-clapp.bsky.social’s great presentation on our new BOP Scale!! We found that aspects of the BOP scale predicted things like lower desire & more sexual coercion experiences four months later in women partnered with men!

Excited to share a new paper by my grad student and myself, highlighting how classroom experiences such as positive classroom climate relate to changes in STEM motivational beliefs across the semester 🤸‍♀️🎉https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1m8Px,8E16MF-A

I gave a talk at the Society for Experimental Social Psychology's annual meeting this past week in Lisbon, Portugal! My talk was entitled "Behavior Change to Promote Equity and Inclusion."

🍎🦡 I'm recruiting a PhD student in Ed Policy (fall '26) at @uwmadison.bsky.social! Come work with me on college access, admissions, & fin aid in our top-ranked, fully-funded program. I’m especially excited for this student to immediately join our direct admissions RCT team.

Wisconsin isn’t as trusting as it used to be—and political polarization is a reason why. I spoke with Wisconsin Public Radio about why social trust matters and how we can rebuild it through real connection and respect. Read more: www.wpr.org/news/surveys...

Surveys show we trust each other less. Is Wisconsin less ‘Midwest nice’?New data from Pew shows that people don’t trust each other as much as they used to, and Wisconsin is falling behind trust levels compared to other parts of the country.www.wpr.org

I was so impressed with our summer research student's presentation at the Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP) symposium yesterday! She presented research about the effect of social norms messaging in interracial conversations. And congratulations to the other PREP students as well!!

Congratulations to Assistant Professor LB Klein who was named a finalist for The Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award by the CDC Foundation! More: socwork.wisc.edu/2025/05/22/d...

My paper on causal decomposition of group disparities is out in the Annals of Applied Statistics! If you are looking to explain group differences, this is likely the methodological framework for you! doi.org/10.1214/24-A...

Nonparametric causal decomposition of group disparitiesWe introduce a new nonparametric causal decomposition approach that identifies the mechanisms by which a treatment variable contributes to a group-based outcome disparity. Our approach distinguishes three mechanisms: group differences in: (1) treatment prevalence, (2) average treatment effects, and (3) selection into treatment based on individual-level treatment effects. Our approach reformulates classic Kitagawa–Blinder–Oaxaca decompositions in causal and nonparametric terms, complements causal mediation analysis by explaining group disparities instead of group effects, and isolates conceptually distinct mechanisms conflated in recent random equalization decompositions. In contrast to all prior approaches, our framework uniquely identifies differential selection into treatment as a novel disparity-generating mechanism. Our approach can be used for both the retrospective causal explanation of disparities and the prospective planning of interventions to change disparities. We present both an unconditional and a conditional decomposition, where the latter quantifies the contributions of the treatment within levels of certain covariates. We develop nonparametric estimators that are n-consistent, asymptotically normal, semiparametrically efficient, and multiply robust. We apply our approach to analyze the mechanisms by which college graduation causally contributes to intergenerational income persistence (the disparity in adult income between the children of high- vs. low-income parents). Empirically, we demonstrate a previously undiscovered role played by the new selection component in intergenerational income persistence.projecteuclid.org
