New paper! - I was wrong! We checked and checked again we were definitely wrong. And I couldn't be happier that we are able to publish these findings at QJEP - Satchell, Hall & Jones 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Are you a UK based self-funded post grad researcher? (PhD, MRes etc) If so, I'd like to send you a copy of my book. I have *five* to give away. Please share and drop a note below or DM me. I'll announce next Friday (from the pub) 🐕 📖 🍺 more info - www.immersiveresearch.co.uk/bookshop

Was great to chat to Lucy and Ellie about the things I get up to at the University of Winchester in their podcast! As always, got to talking about effective measurement and open science practices - and how these things help us understand applied issues. lnkd.in/eKHniwaC

Excited to receive my copy of the new Corr and Krupić personality textbook - where I contributed to the last two chapters. Focusing on blending the philosophy of why we collect data and the practical implications (and the problematic history of this!)

#StringFigureFacts #1: The first known literary reference to a string figure comes from Japan, from a haiku in ’Komachi Odori’ (1665): Kazenoteno Itodoritonaru Yanagikana The haiku evokes an image of a willow tree weaving a string figure (itotori, later "ayatori") in the wind. 🍃

I am delighted to share our latest piece of research: ‘A global cross-cultural analysis of string figures reveals evidence of deep transmission and innovation’. This was long in the works and is by far the largest project I’ve led to date. A thread: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

When in Vienna… time to hit the Freud museum & café! Picked up some good books (and saw some questionable inclusions of other pop psych books on the shelves)

new viewpoint article forthcoming at Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science with @cassie-boness.bsky.social Thinking Beyond Substances: Why Behavioral “Addiction” Research must Move past Substance Use Disorder Paradigms osf.io/preprints/ps...

Don’t sound science enough does it? There’s a useful insight here though - We can make sense of a lot of weird measurement decisions and preference for abstract experiments in psych if we note how ‘sounding’ scientific has been seen as important… (Making a joke post serious, you’re welcome 🫡)

Aidan Wright@aidangcw.bsky.social · 2y ago

Why isn't there a top tier journal titled: Nurture?

100% behavioural tasks get away with a lot. If you want to develop a questionnaire, you (are by field norms supposed to) have a strict norming and validation process. But if make a game on a computer and call it ‘aggression’ or ‘subconscious’ behaviour, you don’t need to. 🤷‍♂️.

Kevin M. King@kevinmking.bsky.social · 2y ago

It also seems to completely absolve the researchers from interrogating psychometrics or construct validity. Which, perhaps not surprisingly, don't hold up when they *are* examined. See: so many behavioral tasks.

We’re at the Service Children’s Progression Alliance 2024 Conference on Inspiring Impact. So much important work today - and how we support those doing the work to gather credible and rigorous evidence of what works to support families. Say hi if you’re here!

Great to be at the Armed Forces Covenant conference today. We’re talking about the work we’re currently doing and new developments with the SCiP Alliance to enhance: 📝research rigour, 📊data analysis, ➡️impact for the service families sector. Learning a lot from today!

Learning a lot at this workshop on analysing complex systems data in behavioural dynamics. The things that can be done with automated recognition of video footage is moving so quickly today. Sharing some of our work on dyadic+ datasets later on!

Springer Nature has a new proof editor and it’s slow, buggy, and seems to be automated. You can’t add text clarifications to editing comments and it can’t read tables, it replaced all ‘-‘ signs with blanks or ‘?’. Clearly adds value to remove the direction of effects…

At @royalsociety today for a broad-science discussion about the promises and piftfalls of preregistration. Lots of familiar faces on the programme, and name outside psych I’m keen to hear from too!

#Rstats help. Have a reviewer who is very specific and wants us to report tests for linearity, distribution of errors, and homoscedacity of errors for all our glmer and lmer models. 1. Anyone seen an efficient way this has been done? 2. Code for B-P like tests for lmer objects?

We’ve been doing some work to see if reliably identifiable themes in open text responses reflect personality traits. Didn’t find much for media piracy (Satchell at al., 2022) and here not again for cannabis and alcohol use, risks, benefits, and legalisation (and two more papers coming showing same)

Do personality traits predict individuals' narratives about alcohol and cannabis use, risk, and legalisation?: http://osf.io/b3tej/

Excited to have our paper included in this special issue “Reflections on the Credibility Revolution in Social and Personality Psychology” where we praise reliability and generalisability efforts in first impressions but ask at what cost to validity and theory? spb.psychopen.eu/index.php/sp...

Had a great time discussing gait, biomechanics, personality, and forensic gait analysis on the Colin McEnroe Show today. Great to talk about the need for evidence based practice! trib.al/uI733Hk
