Very happy that my project about "gaming" automated peer review tools has been awarded an NWO XS grant 🤩 🤸‍♀️ We know that peer review is overburdened, so could we use automated tools to help out? ... maybe, but one of the things we still don't know much about is the risk of "gaming" these tools.

Want to learn dynamic modeling for daily diary, ESM, or EMA data? 🎊 Join our online course Modeling the Dynamics of Intensive Longitudinal Data, starting late Sept. 2026! Videos, exercises & optional live Q&As/labs (15–17 CE(S)T). Register: utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/data...

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

Our article introducing the #openESM database for experience samling data, led by @bsiepe.bsky.social, has now been published 🎉 Paper: link.springer.com/article/10.3... openESM interactive website: openesmdata.org GitHub repository: github.com/openesm-proj...

We're developing alternative ways to shorten questionnaires, given psychology's questionable focus on inter-item correlations. We are looking for datasets: - clinical (mental health) - contains diagnosis - contains long form - contains short form Steep requirements, but maybe someone knows smth?

Excited to share some news: experiencesampling.nl/nieuws/new-c... Looking forward to further strengthening TESC as a platform for collaboration and knowledge dissemination, alongside co-director @eeskevanroekel.bsky.social and project manager Marjolein Triepels. @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social

1/4 In yet another act of shameless self-promotion, I want to share our new preprint: "Learning Nonlinear Dynamics: Improving the Estimation Efficiency and Reliability of Gaussian Process State-Space Models." Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2606.24691 Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!

Learning Nonlinear Dynamics: Improving the Estimation Efficiency and Reliability of Gaussian Process State-Space Models

Understanding dynamic systems is a central goal in many scientific disciplines. State-space models provide a general framework for studying latent dynamic systems based on indirect observations. Howev...

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.

I'm really excited to share a new preprint! Lab studies have consistently shown that stress and negative emotions make people drink alcohol, but studies of daily life (EMA) keep failing to find it. What does that mean for the shared theoretical prediction both designs test? osf.io/preprints/ps...

One more week to apply for the postdoc position 🙂 uni-marburg.de/78NrWT

Postdoc position @unimarburg.bsky.social in the project: "Bridging the Gap Between Verbal Psychological Theories & Formal Statistical Modeling with Large Language Models" (funded by @volkswagenstiftung.de) 📅Start: 01.10.2026 |⏳3 years 🔗 Job posting: uni-marburg.de/78NrWT Thanks for sharing!

Mixed methods in ESM? Still very uncommon. 💥 That should change, we think: we should go beyond numbers, and know what people mean with their numbers. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

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...

I love my research, but the coolest thing is actually talking to young people themselves. Yesterday we had the annual Night University at Tilburg, where we gave an emotion workshop to kids and their parents. Always impressed by what young kids ready know about emotions!

Cool work by Josip, Jasmina, @bringmannlaura.bsky.social & @domimaciejewski.bsky.social in which uni students were unable to identify their own estimated EMA networks above chance level. Looking forward to seeing whether this replicates in people w mental health problems! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our paper on 13 methods for detecting careless responding in EMA has been accepted by Psychological Methods. Grateful to have collaborated with this wonderful team of researchers🍀(final post-print: osf.io/preprints/ps...).

Leonie Vogelsmeier@leonievogelsmeier.bsky.social · 11mo ago

🚨 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...

OK, can somebody ask Jonathan Haidt why the first citation in the second endnote in his "World Happiness Report" chapter about the evils of social media is an irrelevant article, and why the second is a Substack post that doesn't link to a study? files.worldhappiness.report/WHR26_Ch03.pdf

I wrote a blog for the Meta-Research Center expressing my infinite frustration about not getting data. What else is new, you might think? Well, I added an extra layer of annoyance directed at the journals who do NOTHING to enforce promised data sharing. metaresearch.nl/blog/2026/2/...

So...my undergrad thesis student is doing a quality analysis of studies found in meta-analyses. She identified a few and we contacted the authors to request their effect sizes and other variables for the studies in their papers. Here's what happened: scientiapsychiatrica.com/index.php/Sc...
