SCORE, a collaboration of 865 researchers, is now released as three papers in Nature, six preprints, and a lot of data (cos.io/score/). SCORE examined repeatability of findings from the social-behavioral sciences and tested whether human and automated methods could predict replicability.

🚨NEW PAPER📑:Excited to share a short commentary - first-authored by the brilliant Simon Stenkamp - on the potential of experimental paradigms to study both exposure & reactions to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs), which promises to advance causal inference in Moral Injury (MI) research.💡

Are you an Otrovert? Here's what I'd say. First, that's not really a thing. But, sure, you can take any configuration of traits and call it something. And, there will be people who fit that configuration. Should we have a name for this constellation of traits? Meh.. lsa.umich.edu/psych/news-e...

🚨OUT NOW IN COGNITION AND EMOTION🚨: Happy to share a new open access paper about an experimental Trigger Warning study led by Hannah Willems - a brilliant PhD student I have the privilege of supervising. 💫 Get your free copy here👇🏻: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #TriggerWarning #Trauma

New paperAlert! We show that generative AI can quantitatively assess personality from brief, open-ended text—with surprising accuracy. 🧠✨ Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... Postprint (pending mod approval): osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/10

Interview and self-report measures of personality disorder criteria are not structurally equivalent. psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

🎉 Happy to share a Letter with @rief01.bsky.social in @jama.com: We argue that clinicians should be aware of framing effects when communicating likelihoods. Eg, patients perceive "1 in 10 have side effects" as more concerning than "9 in 10 do not have side effects". jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

It’s nice to see radical behaviorism and psychodynamics - both massively underrepresented in many psychology programs btw - agree on core assumptions about personality functioning. This preprint by @kimberlyjgilbert.bsky.social argues for the psychodynamic framework. osf.io/rg3zn/overview

My research stay as @unigr.bsky.social Guest Professor @universitedeliege.bsky.social : it was truly an honor and pleasure for me working with Prof. Sylvie Blairy's team - merci! 🙏🏻👇🏻 www.news.uliege.be/cms/c_205351...

"On current evidence, functional imaging across identity states does not support firm claims about identity fragmentation or inter identity amnesia, nor does it decide between trauma based and sociocognitive accounts." Followers of a certain trauma/DID superstar will not like this…

I maintain that once somebody published a study, anybody can criticize it publicly, & there is no *obligation* to wait for the original authors' (OA) to reply. 1st, why would the OAs get to have the last word at every step? 2nd, waiting opens up a loophole for the OAs to derail the process.

While I don't agree with much of the framing, trials like this show that many care systems could profit from more fine-grained stratified care. Not everyone will profit from BA delivered by paraprofessionals, but it will surely take some pressure of waitlists… pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

"You asked for truffle pasta, we gave you a microwave burger"

Only seen this paper this morning but I have emphasize how much this is a fantastic work ! I had a urge to go through this paper (too quickly unfortunately) and it was…wonderfull !!! The paper is open access so few quotes from the discussion that was music to my ears !!!

Another paper in our effort to get folks to stop routinely testing interactions. This time from the angle of stability. Led by @andrew-cast.bsky.social with help from @vizecolin.bsky.social, @jdmiller.bsky.social, @davidbaranger.bsky.social, and me. Forthcoming in AMPPS. osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/8

🔔NEW PAPER ALERT🔔👇🏻 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚀 New paper (open access) out in Cognitive Therapy & Research: we (@herzog.bsky.social, @evalottabrakemeier.bsky.social, @hudsongolino.bsky.social and me) ask whether group‑level symptom‑change networks in CBT actually capture what happens inside each patient. #Psychology #CBT

What is currently being done to ensure that shared variance (i.e., symptoms) is not constantly confused with shared etiology (i.e., causes) in dimensional models of psychopathology? Asking because I read a certain preprint.

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

🚨Finally out in AMPPS🚨: Proud to share a new tutorial (led by the fabulous @tkaiser.science 💫) on conformal prediction - a model-agnostic, distribution-free method for generating prediction intervals with guaranteed marginal coverage. 🔮 #PsychSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

Does changing the therapist and/or method after non-response lead to better outcomes? Not according to this RCT.

Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳

💯!

Philipp argumentiert hier, dass wir mehr Deimplementation unwirksamer und schädlicher Methoden brauchen. Womöglich ist #SciCom nicht nur Kommunikation von Wissenschaft sondern auch Dekommunikation von Pseudowissenschaft.

So that is why you don't prompt people once a day for an entire year... #OpenESM - data from openesmdata.org/datasets/001...

This is a really important paper. Strategies for deimplementation have received too little attention in psychotherapy to date, so it's good that this has now changed!

New paper led by Nele Assmann, in which we used causal forests to test the heterogeneity of treatment effects of Schema Therapy vs. DBT for severe Borderline Personality Disorder.

🔥OUT NOW IN JCCP🔥: Over the moon to share a new conceptual piece in which Carmen McLean and I propose a potential #deimplementation framework targeting unsupported⚠️, proven ineffective⛔️, and potentially harmful therapies☠️. 1/3 psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... #PsychSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

What does it mean to be cool? 😎 A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General with nearly 6,000 participants across 12 countries found remarkable agreement: cool people are adventurous, open, and powerful. #Psychology #PsychSciSky

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸 How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data. www.science.org/content/arti...

Papers from July to Sept 2025 at AMPPS are killer. We don't have formal print issues, but we have this-- journals.sagepub.com/toc/ampa/8/3

Does anyone have access to this article? 🤔 www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/emory-tr...

🚨NEW PUB🚨: Excited to share a new paper on the prevalence of #PTSD, #GAD, and #depression following recent community trauma (i.e., violent repression of protests during Woman, Life, Freedom movement + gas-poisoning attacks on girls’ schools in 2022) in a sample of Iranian adolescent girls (N=395).💥

In some parallel universe, researchers in Rorschachiana, the Journal of the International Society for the Rorschach, highlight that future research should validate Rorschach scores against ICD-11 diagnostic features.

Just in time in my mailbox 📬 before I had to catch the train to Liège 🚅: for the coming academic year 2025-2026, I will be a “Collaborateur de l'Université de Liège“ aka guest professor.👨🏻‍🎓

The first preprint of my PhD is out! Our review maps choices that researchers make throughout an ESM study from start to finish, including reporting and open science practices. We compare our findings to previous literature where possible, but also provide novel insights! osf.io/preprints/ps...
