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...

I was not reviewer 2. But I am so annoyed by Americans pretending the whole open science movement is funded by John Arnold. His investments are absolutely dwarfed by what the European Union and European science funders have invested in Open science. Only incredibly biased people would ignore this.

We actually have a new paper out just last month, in the @psychscience.bsky.social journal CPS, exactly on this topic — the crucial importance of transdisciplinary work in mental health science, and how psychology has the potential to become a hub science. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Should we by very focused or embrace the complexity of human behavior and look at it through an interdisciplinary lens?

Is Interdisciplinary Science Worth It?

We are getting ready to launch the National Survey Panel at the Survey Research Center at ISR. We are hoping to provide an avenue to keep rigorous scientific survey research available to the community. #realvoices,#respectedresearch @um-src.bsky.social

Few statisticians know that Frank Yates, pioneer of experimental design, is responsible for the annoying practice of indicating 3 tiers of statistical significance by stars (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001). He soon regretted it and “vehemently opposed its unthinking use”. And here we are.

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 >

I was happy to see that this paper, which took a rigorous look at the relations between self-esteerm/narcissim and aggression, was just published in Psychological Science, finding no evidence of an effect: journals.sagepub.com/share/ED8SQF...

This is fun - sharing "my first preprint" - I looked through my email to find mine, and realized that I forgot that I (somehow) was the first to post to PsyArXiv. There are 22 PsyArXiv papers that were posted that day: August 15, 2016.

Moral panics about kids not reading and kids being addicted to their devices are projection on the part of adults who no longer read and are addicted to their devices.

It was interesting to hear that rates of dementia have been going down across time. It appears that they higher because of the baby boomers aging. Why? They surmise that the GI Bill allowed generations to get access to higher education, which has reduced dementia.

Remote work remains popular, but research studies have primarily focused on job satisfaction and productivity. A study using #PSIDdata suggests that "remote work substantially increases isolation and worsens mental health, particularly for those living alone." Read more in Science: myumi.ch/pgZWk
