Anyone going to the @dgpuk-meth.bsky.social conference in Cologne in September/October, beware of weird spam mails about hotel bookings 🚨 #commsky

Nice, I can require my BA students to use Quarto Markdown for their thesis analyses. Purely for their scientific development, of course, and definitely not because I'd rather not squint at 400 lines of unannotated raw R script with no structure 😇 Would you look at that!!

New mug alert! A piece of Vienna at the Zurich department 💓

Does any one of you smart folks have experience with, or pointers to literature on, bot exclusion strategies in surveys? We've built a few detection strategies into ours (CAPTCHA, AI/human task, attention checks, math tasks) – but it's not entirely clear how to use that information best. #commsky

Reflecting on my teaching philosophy for a portfolio. Funny how my mostly negative experiences in a Montessori class as a kid, unfortunately, ended up defining what I value and how I teach now: freedom and structure, together 💭

A new milestone for me – cool 😀

That's a wrap on my Research-in-Practice Lab! And what better way to cap off a year-long journey towards your bachelor theses than with a cold lemonade! It was an absolute pleasure to supervise this lively bunch. Proud ⭐

UI means user interface and UX means user exerface

That I am excited to read this might be a slight understatement !

Over 30 degrees in Zurich calls for a cold soup! 🧊

Instead of a robot scientist, what we really want is a robot that sits in the audience and nods in agreement.

Acclimation.

Second #ica26, done. A week of good research and awesome conversations. That sense of belonging ICA gives me is hard to name, but easy to feel. Taking it home to Zurich. ✈️

Revision ✨

Thanks to each of you who attended the session and asking interesting questions. It was a pleasure! #ica26 #cat ❤️

The fat little 1L Vöslauer Superprickelnd is art 🖤

Great and useful tool! #ica26

Hey #ica26, I recently wrote a little something that I believe might be interesting to many. Over years I tried to find a way to properly keep up to date with new journal publications across those journals that are most important to me... (1/n)

How chatting with a companion chatbot leaves you:

your feedback was kind gentle and correct and still i resent you

Saturday morning @ #ica26: human-chatbot relationship formation, presenting our latest preprint "AI-RP: The AI Relationship Process Framework" –Sat 6/06, 10:30–11:45 am –Auditorium 2 (CTICC1, Lev 2) Slides: osf.io/8bujv/files/... Interested? Please come with questions––feedback very welcome! 🤩

so excited!!! #ica26 #capetown

"data viz" is short for "data that is"

“Data viz” is short for “Data vizualisation”

The Ideology 2.0 dataset is now publicly accessible. 280,000 unique sessions, ~40 implicit measures, ~30 self-report items on the same topics as the implicit measures, 25 individual difference questionnaires, and dozens of individual self-report items. More: osf.io/2483h/overview

Brian Nosek@briannosek.bsky.social · 4y ago

Are you interested in ideology, morality, political psych, implicit and explicit measures, or individual differences? We are releasing a massive dataset (>280k sessions) with dozens of individual difference measures, implicit and explicit measures. 1/...

Check-in was shocked that my luggage was only 12 kilos 😅 Did I just master conference packing? #minimalism

Psychology is in the middle of several overlapping crises—replication, generalisability, theory—but this isn't new. Crisis discussions first appeared in the 1920s (!?). The specific topics have changed but the structure seems kind of similar, maybe we can learn something from this? doi.org/czvw7m

Schopenhauer likely spent his career watching people win arguments they may have been wrong about and responded by writing down all 38 ways they did it lol. A fun little read on eristic dialectic. I plan to read Toulmin next. Any recs for logic & dialectic rabbit hole welcome!

Communication, are you listening … ? So far, not a single @icahdq.bsky.social journal has implemented Registered Reports. Doesn’t reflect well on our field.

Daniel Lakens@lakens.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Excellent news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports to all the fields in which they publish! A great result by all those proposing this strong solution to publication bias and selective reporting (and getting expert feedback before data collection)! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We looked for the experimental evidence showing that social media bans benefit youth... and found nothing. Like, lots of studies with null results? No, literally nothing-- there are no experimental studies of social media restriction that target minors like these bans do. Check out our new paper!

Frontiers | We don't know how social media bans will affect youth but we're doing it anyway!

Around the world, governments are banning youth from social media. Proponents of bans claim that banning or restricting social media access is necessary to c...
