I had the honor of presenting data from my AFSP funded work that used mixed-methods to better understand the impact of suicide exposure on Native American young people. Long story short: the impacts are nuanced and cannot be captured with overly simplistic designs. Paper currently in prep!

It was such a joy to present alongside these folks at APS! I am beyond impressed by the work my early career peers are producing. 🤩 See below for a very brief sneak peak of my talk!

So, if you're at #APSBCN (this the right hashtag?), come through on Friday for a great set of talks from ECRs on different ways of integrating social contexts within Psychopathology research. Talks from @shayanasadi.bsky.social @markschen.bsky.social @awiglesworth.bsky.social and Teresa Vargas!

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness? In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08). Precision prevention is hard...

Machine learning analyses in the MYRIAD trial found only clinically trivial personalization of school-based mindfulness for adolescent #Depression prevention, underscoring limited differential benefit in universal programs. ja.ma/3OkeH2P

I am thrilled to share my new first author pub in JAD! 🥳 We found minority stress was associated with concurrent and future experiences of defeat, and defeat was associated with prospective minority stress in sexual minority college students reporting SI. authors.elsevier.com/a/1meFzbXYj0...

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

We should no longer trust data collected on MTurk link.springer.com/article/10.3... My guess is that other online data is going to drop in quality due to LLMs. This is going to be an existential crisis for the behavioral sciences.

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

This paper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Very compelling evidence that the extensive covariance of diverse psychopathology is not an artifact of cross-sectional factor analysis. They show extensive "co-morbidity" across generations and within-person, over time. doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology

This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017. 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Statistical evidence in psychological networks - Nature Human Behaviour

Psychometric network models have become increasingly popular in psychology and the social sciences. Huth et al. show that a large proportion of reported network findings are based on weak or inconclusive evidence inviting caution when interpreting results.

Great study! A general implication is that when we infer effects of retrospectively measure variables on outcomes, we’re largely just seeing the effects of how people are currently feeling.

New LIB is good, finally! denver really brought the heterosexuality and the cringe. PERFECT

I just googled the title of a paper of mine that hasn't even been published yet (as a lazy way to find the preprint) and Gemini popped out an AI summary of it. So I guess preprints on PsyArXiv are being used in AI training sets? 🤔

Thanks everyone for retweeting this! We've gotten all the speakers we need so far. Looking forward to sharing more with yall in a few months :)

Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis - Nature

A study of several longitudinal birth cohorts and cross-sectional cohorts finds only moderate overlap in genetic variants between autism that is diagnosed earlier and that diagnosed later, so they may represent aetiologically different conditions.
