Are you interested in smartphone interventions?📱 We are too. Specifically we were interested in increasing retention in a digital friction intervention. Let me tell you about our new preprint (1/n) with @dgruning.bsky.social @frederik.riedel.wtf @malte.the100.ci using one sec

This fall semester, there's a cool lecture series at UZH titled "Fake Science". Presenters include @yesuncomm.bsky.social, @ianhussey.mmmdata.io and @heldleonhard.bsky.social. Takes place every second Tuesday at 6.15 pm, open to the public. More information: www.uzh.ch/de/events/rv...

Have you built an LLM-based research tool and had to stumble your way through figuring out how to validate it? Me too! So I wrote a guide on how to systematically approach this. Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

New Jingle assessment: we show that the "Perspective Taking Protocol" has very poor reliability and near-zero convergent validity with other nominal measures of emotional and spatial perspective taking, empathy, and theory of mind. w/ @malte.the100.ci

hello everyone, I made this helpful meme to explain how to read scientific papers

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

Reviewer notes: Odds ratios are really odd

When psychological researchers investigate binary outcomes, they routinely report odds ratios to quantify the strength of an effect or an association. This is quite understandable given that psycholog...

New paper (led by Xiangji Ying) showing LLMs can achieve high accuracy in detecting changes in outcomes across registrations versions. Thrilled to have been a small part of this great work. Check it out below!

What if someone told you there's MORE than one horse? Have you ever considered that?

Vignette studies are just Ao3 for social psychologists

Very happy that my project about "gaming" automated peer review tools has been awarded an NWO XS grant 🤩 🤸‍♀️ We know that peer review is overburdened, so could we use automated tools to help out? ... maybe, but one of the things we still don't know much about is the risk of "gaming" these tools.

New preprint w/ Leo Tiokhin & @lakens.bsky.social! Registered Reports (RRs) are great for science b/c publication is guaranteed before results are known, reducing publication bias & QRPs. This feature supposedly also makes them great for *scientists*. But is that really true? 1/ tinyurl.com/4sy993rr

Career incentives make Registered Reports unattractive under realistic academic conditions

Registered Reports are a publication format designed to reduce publication bias by guaranteeing publication before results are known. This guarantee is considered attractive in the prevailing ‘publish...

Have you ever #preregistered a #psychometric evaluation of a measure? We’re looking for examples! Shameless self-promotion encouraged! Or if you found one you really liked as an example, send it my way! #OpenScience #measurement

Sobering: initial trials with huge effect, large follow-up trial showing no evidence for an effect. But practice is already locked in and criticism is defused by pointing to random effects meta-analyses which are necessarily dominated by the initial trials. polypharmacy.substack.com/p/we-should-...

We should stop running clinical trials that cannot change practice

h/t @scientificdiscovery.dev. Really starting to think that meta-analyses should be knocked off their pedestal. They’d be great if science operated differently, alas. We gotta assess evidence in a manner that works in the imperfect world in which we actually live.

WE ARE HIRING! Come work with us (me + @malte.the100.ci) on developing and validating RegCheck. PhD or postdoc applications welcome. Folk with backgrounds in meta-science, psychology, (pre)clinical trials, and/or economics are especially invited to apply. jobs.unibe.ch/job-vacancie...

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >
