Good news everyone 🥳 Our (w @vincentab.bsky.social) primer on models as prediction machines (with the marginaleffects package) is finally officially published!> journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Models as Prediction Machines: How to Convert Confusing Coefficients Into Clear Quantities - Julia M. Rohrer, Vincent Arel-Bundock, 2026

Psychological researchers usually make sense of regression models by interpreting coefficient estimates directly. This works well enough for simple linear model...

If you are working with multilevel data, try out my new package mlstats 📦 — an #rstats package for multilevel analyses. You can create publication-ready descriptive tables like the one below (including within- AND between-group correlations + ICCs). github.com/felixdidi/ml... Details in thread 🧵↓

Short announcement before the data get too old: ccsmainz.github.io/platformnews/. With 571 news outlets on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram across 46 countries, matching the @reutersinstitute.bsky.social DNR. Computational analyses on topics, platformization, diversity, etc. Feedback welcome.

Despite Prepublication Peer Review being a core part of science, training materials for it are sparse. This open source guide is very valuable for ECRs! ecr-reviewers.gitlab.io/guide/

📬 Pub alert Do effects of digital disconnection interventions translate to well-being benefits in *daily life*? Our new ESM study concludes: yes but no... kinda 👽🔋 @klingelhoefer.bsky.social @adrianmeier.bsky.social Out now in Communication Research doi.org/10.1177/0093...

Ever found yourself scrolling on your phone in the middle of a conversation?📱👥Curious about why this happens, @annastockmann.bsky.social and I explored the situational drivers of co-present phone use in our new🔓#OpenAccess paper, just published in @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social🎉 (1/6)

​The #GESISMethodsHub is live! 🎉 ​So thrilled to launch this project, built with so much heart. It's set to be your community portal for computational tools and coding environments. ​Explore now! We'll open for external submissions by year-end.

Fabulous study by @felix-dietrich.de @aliciaernst.bsky.social @rkreling.bsky.social et al., examining how algorithmic curation affects music streaming UX. Key finding: More algorithmic recommendations = less enjoyment, BUT listening sessions w/algorithmic curation were perceived as more novel 🧪

Interested in… a) taking theories out of the lab (and try to specify them to work irl) b) computational methods (data donations, LLM content analysis) c) media coping d) all of the above? Then our new HCR-paper is *just* for you! doi.org/10.1093/hcr/...

💡Pub alert 💡 Why do users stop a media activity? Today I presented "101 reasons to stop: A systematic review of media cues for disengagement" at #CHIGreece2025 🏖️ The full paper - the 3rd of my PhD thesis - is now available #openaccess at dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... Summary below ⬇️

Longitudinal evidence on media entertainment effects, anyone? New paper out w/ @leonardreinecke.bsky.social looking at links between entertainment use and meaning making daily, weekly, & over 6 months. Two studies, 1,872 participants, 15,290 observations. Summary 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0093...

To investigate media effects, do we have to think more clearly about time ⌚? Our new publication in the 🎉*Journal of Communication*🎉 investigates how our conceptualizations of time can affect our conclusions: doi.org/10.1093/joc/... (1/6)
