"It’s ok to have the brain of a pessimist as long as you have the boots of an optimist.” – Steve Rinella. Clinical psychologist/suicidologist/dog dad. Thoughts are my own.

Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

Lab thesis presentations this semester include a linguistic analysis of ASL suicide risk interpretations, experimental investigation of single session interventions to increase help-seeking, and ambulatory assessment of suicide ideation vulnerability in sexual minority folks! Such cool work!

Our university president and provost leave the same month we transition a ton of student services/academic admiration to Workday… coincidence?? Sign of things to come this fall??

My lab is a touch late to using OSF! Anyone have an OSF page they are particularly proud of their organization and willing to share?? Already a touch overwhelmed with how to keep it organized. Thanks!!!

"So you want me to meditate everytime Im hopeless... ill be meditating all day" My team gets this type of comment when doing suicide safety planning all the time. So when "should" someone thinking about suicide use a coping skill? ideaiton intensity changes? A warning sign gets worse?

Based in part off of Dr. Diamond's awesome review (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...), my lab is trying to do more in SGM suicide than throwing minority stress variables into models. anyone out there testing felt sense of social safety?! We have EMA items but want to be thoughtful on measurement

Rethinking minority stress: A social safety perspective on the health effects of stigma in sexually-diverse and gender-diverse populations

For over two decades, the minority stress model has guided research on the health of sexually-diverse individuals (those who are not exclusively heter…

New blog post in which I discuss measurement invariance from a causal perspective. Come for the amateurish featured image (who needs photoshop anyway), stay for fancy Pooh as figure label. Bonus: You'll finally understand the different levels of invariance (I hope). www.the100.ci/2024/01/10/a...

A casual but causal take on measurement invariance

Testing for measurement invariance is one of those things where researchers roughly fall into two categories. Either they consider it an incomprehensible and arcane practice that only nerds could ever...

Need some more time to unpack this great study on missing data in ema. psyarxiv.com/7yfhp/ maybe within person changes in psychological states are not related to missing prompts! Previous completion time/time in study more closely related to missingness! I still have a ton to learn with this method.
