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...

This is a simple but absolutely genius idea of a site!! It doesn't hit you with ai images (unless you ask), it does cite all the sources, and explains every step of conditional randomization. Absolutely brilliant!! (I died a toddler in the mud which is about right)

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery.

[some-subscribed-rss] New Post: What if publication bias isn’t that? At least not always?, by Jeremy Fox https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/08/24/what-if-publication-bias-isnt-that/

💡 Should we keep using the word 'symptom' in mental health research? In our opinion paper, Alberto Jover Martínez, Maaike Steenhuis, and I (shared first authors) explain why we think the term is problematic and suggest how to move forward. authors.elsevier.com/a/1nb3a_,1gY...

1/ What do people perceive as causes for depression, poverty, & mortality—and are social or non-social causes more important? New preregistered study led by Emma Bridger in a n=1000 UK sample, including a wide variety of perceived causes. #episky #psychscisky #PublicHealth 🧪

1/3 🚨Case conceptualization at the next level: This study combines perceived causal networks with intensive longitudinal data to create individual, data-updated models of psychopathology. Read more 👇🏾 📰 Open access: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... 🔗Open data, material, code: osf.io/r5xfg/files/...

1/3 I think this is a nice use case for cross-sectional network analysis: to get a very basic idea of the nomological network of your target construct. In this case, we look at biopsychosocial risk & resilience factors for postpartum depression in n=57,518 women. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Me and @larsklintwall.bsky.social have been working on an app that will allow participants to interactively build networks of perceived causal relations. I’ve put together a demo website, that I’m soft-launching while we continue to pilot the app pecan-tool.rpsychologist.com 🧵👇

Working on some network stuff. It's oddly satisfying going from this network spaghetti to something a bit more organized

Published! ”Perceived causal symptom network of adolescent mental health issues”. n = 55 depressed teenagers (PHQ9 > 9) picked symptoms from a predefined list (including criteria for depression, purple nodes), specified these in their own words, and then rated causal relations.

New blog post! Three reasons why (some) idiographic studies in psych leave me unimpressed: (1) failure to establish that there's meaningful variation, (2) imprecise estimates at the individual level, (3) the usual estimand confusion (is it causal? yes/no/maybe a bit?). www.the100.ci/2024/10/28/i...

Just found out I was awarded the ”Scientist-practitioner award 2024” from the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT)! And this is before Ive released the “Build-your-own-symptom-network kit” to the world! My one true contribution to the field! 🍾🥳👨🏼‍🔬

I’m a year late, but finally read this paper by @ephemeralidea.bsky.social & Schönbrodt - it’s so good. Each section could be its own paper (check out appendix E 🤯). One of the most impressive (& well-written) papers I’ve read in ages! Thx for writing it! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
