New JPSP registered report + coordinated data analysis led by Tiko Yoneda: identical models across 11 aging cohorts (N=175,070; 18 countries). Loneliness—not simply social isolation—was more robustly associated with cognitive impairment and mortality risk psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-...

In #ESM / #EMA, how you ask “How do you feel right now?” shapes your data. Sliders 🎚️, smileys 🙂, drawing trajectories 📈, or emotion wheels 🎡: they all capture something different. We break down 5 approaches (and their trade-offs) in a new #m-path blog: m-path.io/blog/high-fi...

Your social connections can influence critical health outcomes. Research from @anthonyong.bsky.social & Frank Mann finds that cumulative social advantage is correlated with better health and lower mortality risk across demographic groups. Read the Editor’s Choice article: https://bit.ly/4bVVyxy

New paper led by SJ Shao in @commspsychol.nature.com. Across 20 days of EMA (5x daily), momentary loneliness prospectively predicted heightened social threat perception and social withdrawal. Trait loneliness amplified loneliness–rejection coupling and social disengagement @emoriebeck.bsky.social

Loneliness modulates social threat detection in daily life - Communications Psychology

Using ecological momentary assessment and multilevel time-series models, we quantify loneliness inertia and its links to perceived social threat and social behavior, identifying dynamic patterns that ...

As someone who studies a Thing That Doesn't Happen Very Often, it's so helpful to see this proposed analytic framework for zero-inflated intensive longitudinal data. You run a multilevel SEM that separately models the outcome in binary and continuous ways. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Like so many, I’m new here and excited to share a short 🧵 about our paper in the current issue of Nature Human Behaviour (@naturehumbehav.bsky.social)! Key takeaway: The influence of emotions on financial decision-making is not universal but varies substantially and systematically across countries.

📊New study published in Emotion sheds light on affect dynamics in depression. Analysis of 842 adults over 56 days shows negative affect becomes more 'sticky' rather than unstable. This suggests emotional predictability, not instability, may be key. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...
