Adolescence is an emotional rollercoaster 🎢, but when is heightened emotion variability a sign of healthy decelopment and when of vulnerability? I'm over the moon that I got an #NWO #VIDI to set up a 5-year project to study exactly that www.tilburguniversity.edu/current/news...

Excited to share a paper recently accepted at Nature Mental Health! 😄 For decades, we've assumed that covariance among psychopathology informs comorbidity. What if we’ve been wrong?

Covariation among higher-order psychopathology dimensions is driven by nomorbidity, not comorbidity: https://osf.io/3t2cm

Very cool new paper by @aleksakaurin.bsky.social, Mario Wenzel, @paulaphilippi.bsky.social using some of my K99 data: osf.io/preprints/ps... EMA studies often ask people how they feel several times a day. But when is a change bigger than measurement noise? And does the person actually feel change?

UMN did a nice write-up of our recent study! @aidangcw.bsky.social @vizecolin.bsky.social

Using Large Language Models to Assess Psychopathology

A few minutes of conversation may be all it takes. Whitney Ringwald explores how LLMs can power low-burden, scalable mental health assessment.

Okay before I do write my screed about cluster analysis, please send me your favorite *positive* examples that illustrate the utility of the method!

Did you know that there’s only a single letter separating an “idionomic clinical workflow” from an “idiotnomic clinical workflow”? I haven’t managed to write my screed about cluster analysis yet, here’s another blog post in the meantime: www.the100.ci/2024/10/28/i...

Thresholds are necessary for clinical decisions, but how do we set them? This question always comes up as a challenge for the clinical utility of dimensional psychopathology models. Fortunately, there are principled solutions! Our new paper lays them out. Led by Yuliya Kotelnovika & Roman Kotov

🚨 New preprint: In this paper we make the case for measuring social media use at the level of naturally occurring sessions (i.e., beginning when the app/site is opened and ending when it is closed). Across 7 days and 161 participants this gave us nearly 4,000 paired sessions of use 🧵

Psych Science has retracted Ariely & Wertenbroch (2002). The second author requested the retraction. Both authors agreed to it. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... So grateful to @datacolada.bsky.social for these blog posts and the work behind them: datacolada.org/138 and datacolada.org/139 1/2

I'm super excited to share a new preprint in which @kevinmking.bsky.social and I propose an update to the affect regulation theory of alcohol use: "A mathematical and computational formalization of the affect regulation hypothesis of alcohol use" doi.org/10.31234/osf...

How do dynamics estimates vary by study timescale, even when using continuous-time methods that should 'theoretically' account for this? @maristodemou.bsky.social takes a look at wellbeing variables from bimonthly GESIS and yearly SOEP panels to examine the issue. osf.io/preprints/ps...

What are some examples of *non-fraudulent* major errors in scientific papers that had major consequences, perhaps after taking a long time to be corrected?

Using AI helps people get higher grades and get their work done faster, but they learn less & suffer on actual exams I saw this in my own large Intro Psych class: -the exam average is 85% -after AI, it shot up to 95% -after I made the final in person it went to 68% www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

#SAA2027 will be hosted at the University of Toronto, Canada! We are very much looking forward to seeing you there.

Are you interested in smartphone interventions?📱 We are too. Specifically we were interested in increasing retention in a digital friction intervention. Let me tell you about our new preprint (1/n) with @dgruning.bsky.social @frederik.riedel.wtf @malte.the100.ci using one sec
