We're developing alternative ways to shorten questionnaires, given psychology's questionable focus on inter-item correlations. We are looking for datasets: - clinical (mental health) - contains diagnosis - contains long form - contains short form Steep requirements, but maybe someone knows smth?

Mixed methods in ESM? Still very uncommon. 💥 That should change, we think: we should go beyond numbers, and know what people mean with their numbers. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Dr. Mihai Constantin, Prof. Dr. Jeroen Vermunt, and I are looking for a motivated PhD candidate for the project: "Dynamic Mixture Modeling for Intensive Longitudinal Data". tiu.nu/23934 Please share this vacancy with anyone who might be interested!

Most psychological research tells you if a treatment (or any other cause) works on average. But averages hide a lot. Some people benefit, some see no effect and some may actually be harmed. Our new primer in Psychological Methods tackles this head-on. 🧵

Want to contribute to scientific rigor and open science in clinical psychology? Apply to be the senior clinical editor at Collabra! Worried it's too much work or you are too junior? Please ask me about it. You might, in fact, be the ideal person!

Perspective: Open-ended responses can improve ESM data by grounding it in real-world experiences and phenomena as they are experienced in everyday life. Handbooks and guidelines on ESM should include sections on collecting and analyzing open-ended text items. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...
