This is a great read. Summarises a lot of recent ideas and conversations. Also reminds me somewhat of @anneo.bsky.social's social media era's presentation at #MediaPsych last year.

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

The death of writing will not be caused solely by AI; it will also be perpetrated by concerned educators who now perceive academic essays as outdated. In the end, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: If students are solely trained to do oral exams, it is unsurprising if writing skills take a hit

Attention is not a fixed resource that some people “have” and others lack. It is a regulatory system that allocates effort based on expected reward and uncertainty. When outcomes are unclear or delayed, attention naturally destabilises. External structure often works better than pressure.

um... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM I guess that's one way to get training data from scientists. (notwithstanding the fact that this is trying to replace one of the best parts of doing science...)

“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors. It’s vibe coding, but for science.”

First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Confusion in gaming disorder measurement

Abstract. Measurement is important for the scientific programmes of addictive behaviours. In the present study, we investigated the measurement of gaming d

YouTube now offering 4x playback speed... um, what? I quite regularly speed up content but 4x feels excessive. I'm genuinely curious what the experience is (not a premium subscriber) and motivations would be here (both for users and the platform).

I can only assume that no peer review happened here?! Seems that this was a scheme by the journal to boost IF?

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...

This is important for all platform researchers! Please read and sign the OPEN LETTER to the EU Commission and share widely in your networks!

DSA40 Data Access Collaboratory@dsa40collaboratory.bsky.social · 8mo ago

We've published an Open Letter urging EU policymakers to reject the Digital Omnibus' proposed Amendment to Article 12(5) GDPR, which would undermine citizens' data access rights & the researchers who depend on them for #DataDonation research. Read & sign: shorturl.at/e1mr4 - your signature matters.

the background depicts the proposed amendment, the foreground reads "Open Letter: The Amendment to Article 12, paragraph 5 GDPR in the Omnibus Proposal Undermines Evidence-Based Policymaking"

It feels like at this time of year my work consists primarily of cutting text down to meet page, word, or other space limits set by various journals and conferences. cut, cut, cut! ✂️
