Are smartphones stressful for adolescents? 🤔 Using experience sampling and smartphone trace data, we found that for ~80% adolescents, screen time is neither stress‑inducing nor stress‑buffering. For ~20%, smartphone use is stress‑inducing, but usage patterns matter ⭐ doi.org/10.1177/1461...

Excited to share our new @nature.com paper: 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 500+ re-analyses show that results in social and behavioural science often depend on analysts’ choices, highlighting challenges for #robustness. Really proud and excited to be a co-author of this massive collaboration! 🚀

Investigating the analytical robustness of the social and behavioural sciences - Nature

When 100 social and behavioural science claims were examined, 34% of reanalyses closely matched the original results, with 74% reaching the same conclusion, revealing limited robustness of single...

🧠 New preprint! We study reaction time modeling in self-report surveys across online vs. lab administration and single- vs. multiple-item formats, and complement RTs with eye-tracking and heart-rate measures to capture response processes. osf.io/preprints/ps... #Psychometrics #ReactionTimes

🚨 New preprint! We reviewed 263 studies on racial & ethnic prejudice measures. Most are psychometrically weak and conceptually narrow. Only 4% meet high-quality standards. We call for rigorous, theory-driven, culturally sensitive tools. 📖 osf.io/xwbyz_v1 #PrejudiceResearch #SocialPsychology
