5/n We engage this debate by taking a slightly different approach Rather than ask if summary statistics detect bots after the fact, we ask: what does it actually take to build a bot that can do a real task, live, through a browser, under real timing constraints?

How do we deal with rich, multilevel, and multimodal data? In a new preprint, @rachaelkee.bsky.social and I sketch an answer! For all the details, and the preprint link, see Rachael’s thread. Be sure to give her a follow, especially if you’re interested in neuroscience, sleep, and media!

Three-panel infographic illustrating Marr’s Levels of analysis in a study of repeated exposure to crime media. (a) At the top left, a diagram labeled “Marr’s Levels” shows three stacked boxes: 1. Computation (why / problem) in orange, 2. Algorithm (what / rules) in coral, and 3. Implementation (how / physical) in dark red. (b) At the top right, an illustration of a person looking at a smartphone surrounded by social media icons, a warning symbol, and a clock, labeled “Repeated exposure to crime media.” (c) The bottom row maps each level to research methods: Computation shows a person with checklist icons and the text “EMA/ESM surveys, in-app surveys, pop-up questionnaires.” Algorithm shows a smartphone social media interface with the text “Digital trace data, smartphone usage logs, screen time APIs.” Implementation shows a person interacting with a smartwatch and the text “Wearable biometric sensors (e.g., smartwatches, Oura ring), consumer-grade EEG (e.g., MUSE headbands), eyetracking devices (e.g., Gazepoint GP3).”

🚨 New Preprint Alert 🚨 Communication science has no shortage of data. But what do we do with all of it? Experience sampling, sensors, digital trace, location aware observations are growing in popularity and scale.

Depressed? Anxious? Lonely? What if mental health doesn’t just result from media use, but shapes how we choose media? In a new preprint, Valerie Klein, @gongxuanjun.bsky.social @aeden.bsky.social and I and I test this using a computational decision-making model: doi.org/10.21203/rs.... 🧵Thread

Using the Drift Diffusion Model to Examine Relationships Between Mental Health and Media Selection Dynamics

A substantial body of research has investigated how people’s transient affective state influences their media selection, as well as how selected media influences subsequent affective states. However, ...

Enjoying Stranger Things during the holiday season? Have you thought about why some stories are more successful than others? Our new preprint investigates this question by studying the character networks in the narratives: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Out now in Scientific Reports! Despite high correlations, ChatGPT models failed to replicate human moral judgments. We propose tests beyond correlation to compare LLM data and human data. With @mattgrizz.bsky.social @andyluttrell.bsky.social @chasmonge.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’ll have more to say about this paper in a bit, but very excited about it. Helps to explain why punishment doesn’t work to improve cooperation, why people still punish anyway, and what it implies about the evolution of cooperation and criminal justice policy www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Third-party punishment is theorized by some scholars to be essential to the evolution of large-scale cooperation, but empirically, it often fails t...

🧵 1/ How does the field of Communication use the GRE for PhD admissions? Ellie Mercedes Ross, @laramiet.bsky.social, & I set out to answer this question. Our paper explores how GRE usage, particularly minimum score thresholds, can filter out certain racial & ethnic groups doi.org/10.1080/1064...

GRE Thresholds, Filtering, and Equity: A Pandemic-Era Reassessment of Communication Doctoral Admissions

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Communication PhD programs reconsidered the use of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) amid concerns about structural inequities in graduate admissions. We examined ...

@lindsayhahn.bsky.social advocates for translational science principles to bridge the gap between CAM research, public understanding & policy on media’s effects on children by, for instance, prioritizing research addressing caregivers’ and educators’ needs (6/8) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
