In an hour and a half (12:30 UTC / 14:30 CET) I'll give a lightning talk at the online BTS conference about the tool we are putting together for standardizing hypotheses. Free registration: https://bigteamscienceconference.github.io/ Tool: https://tinyurl.com/hypothesizer Slides […]

In about two hours (12:30 UTC) I'll be hosting a hackathon where we'll work on a checklist for generating research collaboration statements. Register for free and join us in the brainstorming: bigteamscience.github.io #bigteamscience #bigteamscience2025 #bts2025 #OpenScience #authorship […]

Our preprint on our translations of CRediT into 36 languages. We've come a long way with this project! osf.io/preprints/me... If you know of non-English academic journals that don't have a policy on saying who did what, get in touch - CRediT may be part of the answer.

I'm putting together a short bibliography of recent papers about #BigTeamScience, with emphasis on challenges and solutions for large social science projects. Am I missing any important papers? I'm in particular looking for any tools or checklists to use when […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

the Department of Psychology at the University of Otago is hiring SIX faculty. open area Otago is the second-largest research university in New Zealand, and, among other nice things, is located near some of the best wineries on the planet www.seek.co.nz/job/85709111

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️ In this cross-national study, we investigate the links between urbanicity, anxiety and depressive disorders in 500,000 adults across the UK, Norway, and New Zealand 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The University of Sydney is recruiting senior and mid-career academics "within the top 5–10% of academics in their field, with a strong track record and availability to relocate to Australia within 6-months". If you're a psychologist/neuroscientist and are interested, get in touch with me soon.

Do #personality traits predict #PublicHealth behaviour and reactions to #pandemics? Various traits have been suggested to associate with various outcomes, with varying strength of evidence. (thread 1/n)

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

I just got a first round #PeerReview where #Reviewer2 just wrote "I did not find anything to comment on and congratulate the authors on a well written manuscript." That's gotta be a first. Reviewer 1 had a number of comments though, but they seem reasonable and constructive. #academicchatter […]

I think the "streamlined review" option offered by Collabra: Psychology (@collabraoa) is under-appreciated. Have you received a #PeerReview that you think was unfair, overly critical, based on a misunderstanding, or on scientific criteria you disagree with? Do you think you could have responded […]

Uh-oh, this could have depressing interpretations... (graph from @infobeautiful). But while "major breakthroughs" peak early-ish, perhaps the slow-and-steady work that benefits the field in the long term also comes later in life?

I had a great time at #SIPS2025 last week! I learned lots about theory building, preregistration tools, scientific assessment and dissemination. This being my fourth SIPS, it was about time I hosted my first (on-the-fly) #hackathon. Reach out if you'd like […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

The #OSF online #preregistration form is difficult to use for drafting (lacking tools for collaboration, commenting, track changes, version history). We use this Word file that matches the online form for drafting, and past into the OSF webpage when completed: osf.io/ufzra Please reuse! #OpenScience

What characterised people who became infected in the few first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic? Had they underestimated the risk, been in more risky situations, or not followed public health advice?

Professor James Reason passed away a few days ago. The Reason model - often known as the Swiss cheese model - of accidents revolutionised aviation safety and risk management practices, as it did for many other fields. Vale.

New preprint from our lab: "In-situ Feedback about Mental Model Cohesion in Emergency Response Teams" https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pdxek_v1 Team members answered questions about their task work during a scenario exercise. Teams performed better when […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

New preprint from our group: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/hwzsc_v1 A field-experiment tested whether a brief stress management intervention could have improve police performance in a simulated training exercise for police students. We found self-rated […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

It always takes me some minutes to look up the interpretation guidelines for various effect size measures (yes, I know the rules of thumb are somewhat arbitrary). Today I edited Wikipedia to show three different guidelines for four different measures in the […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

The NASA-TLX (1986) is the most frequently used measure for workload, but it's often not used as intended (only raw scores are used, without pair-wise comparisons and individual weighting). (Thread: 1/3)

Mid-morning Friday I took the #funicular to #Fløyen to go #skiing (as the forecast looked worse for the afternoon). It started snowing as I reached the top, so I limited the trip to a loop around #skomakerdiket. I had to seek shelter from heavy snow […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Recent #preprint just submitted for peer-review: We ran an online survey to find out how people (N = 537) interpreted 22 different Norwegian probability phrases. https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/4ngja #risk #Riskperception #probabilityphrases

Last year in #Bergen, a #tesla drove in high speed *through* an outdoor serving area, into a pedestrian street, through a bollard supposed to prevent this kind of thing, launched itself up three steps of stairs, and ended by crashing into a building. Luckily, this happened in the middle of the […]
