📢 🚨 New dissemination article out now on our cross-cultural EMA study @JuanMartínGómezPenedo, @julianrubel.bsky.social @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social @AndrésRoussos @schwartz-psyres.bsky.social @JuliaKönitz @RocioManubens @BeatrizGómez @JavierFernández-Alvarez @ManuelMeglio @wlutzpsyres.bsky.social

Pleasure to speak at the Society for Psychotherapy Research (@sprofficial.bsky.social) at King's College London last week Here w/JM Penedo, @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social & F Mink after our panel discussion on the future of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in clinical psychology and psychotherapy

📢 New position paper out now in Clinical Psychology Review: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... We present an open, transtheoretical, and transdiagnostic framework for evidence- and practice-based personalized treatment @wlutzpsyres.bsky.social @Steffen T. Eberhardt @rief01.bsky.social

From fragmentation to transtheoretical models of psychological therapy

In psychological therapy, clinical training and practice is usually based on one or several of the traditional theoretical treatment orientations' sub…

🚨My trainee Victoria Murphy, data architect Gabriel Mongefranco, and I are pleased to share 🌟EMA-CleanR: R code to pre-process, clean, and visualize ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data! Documentation: teamdynamix.umich.edu/TDClient/210... Code: github.com/DepressionCe...

1/2 New open access paper in which we apply the Nyquist-Shannon thereom from signal processing to 2 EMA datasets to figure out the optimal sampling frequency for EMA assessments. 🧪 #psychscisky #statssky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use? In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this. doi.org/10.1111/psyp... 1/

I am pleased to share our paper showing that daily assessment improves the precision of #self-harm and #suicide prediction beyond the data available at the start of a hospital admission. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data. Go teamwork <3

🚨 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...

So proud of superstar @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social and thrilled she'll be joining us for a summer fellowship to launch this important work at NYC !! 🦄🍎

What an amazing time at #SPRKrakow2025 💫 I feel so honored to have received the Collaborative Grant to work with @nilisolomonov.bsky.social on investigating late-life suicidality using EMA. Grateful for the inspiring talks, the deeply supportive community, and so many meaningful conversations

📣 If you’re attending #SPRKrakow2025 and curious about how EMA can be integrated into clinical practice, don‘t miss these panels tomorrow: 🕙 10:00 - 11:15 „EMA - Ways to extend psychotherapy as usual“ 🕧 11:30 - 12:45 „Enhancing Clinical Practice with EMA“ organized by @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social
