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

New review, forthcoming in the Annual Review of Developmental Psychology: "From Seconds to Seasons and Days to Decades: Timescales in Development." Let me walk you through some key points. 👇 BC its a review, these are based on many others' work. osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/

I'm excited to announce that I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2027 admissions! I review applications in both the Personality, Development, and Health and the Clinical Science (Weinberg) programs.

Are temperament and personality the same thing? Check out our new preprint tackling this question. Led by the incomparable @kaileylawson.bsky.social, with @rebeccatheshiner.bsky.social, bsky-less Rick Robins This was such a fun one to work on with this team!

Many congrats and thanks to @renemottus.bsky.social for planning and executing a marvelous European Conference on Personality this past week Edinburgh didn’t disappoint, and I got to do a biennial stadtbummel with two of my favorite people and collaborators: Aleksandra Kaurin and Whitney Ringwald

New meta by @peterhaehner.bsky.social et al (I'm a little middle author) on individual differences in personality change across the lifespan (229 studies, N = 230k) 10.1037/bul0000525 Cool finding (imo): For all Big Five, variance in change is greatest in youth, declining through young adulthood!

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

When we consider children in cultural evolution, we tend to cast them as recipients of adult culture. In our BBS target article, @sheinalew.bsky.social & I argued there's more: through 'peer cultures', children actively drive cultural adaptation. Our final paper + a rich set of responses is out now!
