New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >

To celebrate the openESM paper release, I wrote a brief blog post summarizing recent developments: openesmdata.org/blog/2026-07... We: 💠added more data 💠provided descriptive visualizations for each item 💠created a semantic similarity mapping for items, making it easier to find related items

Most #ESM / #EMA studies capture daily-life patterns. But arguments😡, cravings🍫, panic episodes⚠️ or emotional peaks⚡ can happen between prompts. In our new From Paper to Practice blog, we discuss an #m-Path study on event- and threshold-based #burst designs: m-path.io/blog/how-to-...

Have you seen MATILDA (matilda.fss.uu.nl)? Which stands for Measurement, Analysis & Theory for Intensive Longitudinal Data. MATILDA is a website with educational articles that help researchers align theory, measurement, and analysis when studying processes using intensive longitudinal data.

After long time spent working on this with Jasmina, @bringmannlaura.bsky.social and @domimaciejewski.bsky.social, I'm proud to share the preprint showing that uni students cannot recognize their own EMA networks above chance level and they prefer the annotated time series. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Does it make sense to preregister simulation studies? This question has sparked a lot of debate. ▶️We* work through the why, when, and how ▶️We discuss different phases of methodological research to clarify where preregistration might (or might not) add value 📝 Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New study out! These results show how our personality is infused in everything we do, even down to our mundane, everyday experiences and passing thoughts.

New preprint: osf.io/8c6sz_v1 @mdkraemer.bsky.social and I, with our fantastic co-authors Cornelia Wrzus, Yannick Roos and @drichter77.bsky.social examined how social contact, desire, and affect dynamically interact across different modalities (in-person, digital) and time scales (hourly, daily).

A new publication from my PhD project on model selection for nonstationary time-series data is out, co-authored with an amazing team (Anja Franziska Ernst, @ginettelafit.bsky.social , Ward B. Eiling, @bringmannlaura.bsky.social)! Link: doi.org/10.1111/bmsp...

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data. Go teamwork <3

Simulation studies have a conflict of interest problem. The same team: - develops a new method - designs a simulation study to evaluate it However, the new method has to show good performance to get published. We propose living synthetic benchmarks to address the issue (doi.org/10.48550/arX...).

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

In this behemoth effort led by @anhhtran.bsky.social, we reanalysed 11 experience-sampling datasets, and found limited evidence that context (intensity, controllability, and social features) meaningfully shaped everyday emotion regulation strategy use.

Had a great time at the ESM Expert Network Meeting in Rotterdam! I presented the first SHARE study results: we found that paying participants per beep boosts compliance as compared to bulk payment (with or without personalised feedback)—and without harming data quality.

We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation. osf.io/preprints/ps...
