New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients. osf.io/preprints/ps...

⚠️ 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.

Have you been interested in any of the set theory stuff I've been doing recently? Wondered at all how you can get in on the fun? Here's an R package @nicolasleenaerts.bsky.social and I built called 'setweaver.' This vignette should get you up and running. Yay :) cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Thrilled to announce the Oxford Psychological Networks Summer School (OxPNS)! This is the first-ever psychological network analysis workshop in the UK, to be held in magical Oxford from June 22-26, 2026. To apply and for more information, please visit: oxfordpns.com A brief thread 🧵

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

We're doing summerpsych.com again this year! PhD curious undergrads, come hang out at the CSI lab, help us push forward a project and develop your social science chops Applications are due March 1st:

I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data. 1/19 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

If our theories have to do with people's daily experience then we really need to know how well we're measuring daily experience. So we need more of what Kevin's team is doing here! Just because your item has the right words in it doesn't mean you know what it measures, or how well.

We're hiring! The Computational Clinical Science Lab @ Yale is seeking a full-time lab manager/research coordinator to start in early summer 2026. For more information about the position and to apply: forms.gle/LtQwVgPUfaGk... Please share widely & consider applying!

Interested in research on depression in youth? New opening for a full-time research assistant in our lab (webbslab.com) to work on a range of projects focused on the causes & treatment of depression in teens. Come join our growing lab. Please RT and share! Apply⬇️ webbslab.com/job-postings

Cool study in JAMA Psychiatry confirms what many have suspected for a while: PHQ (depression questionnaire) instructions are widely misinterpreted by patients. It is unfortunate that a questionnaire as shitty as PHQ-9 has become so ingrained & ubiquitous jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Our university press team asked me a few questions in regards to the new chair on Mental Health & Data Science. I sketch a bit of a vision on the importance of transdisciplinary work, and some obstacles to overcome. www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

1/ Our paper years in the making is finally out! TL;DR even very strong effects (d=1.00) can be attenuated by sampling from populations where there is variability in their likelihood of natural improvement (e.g., mild depression cases remitting on their own) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm back! In this experiment we had 39 participants choose between 8 different PhD programs which varied in terms of region, application materials, prestige, and fees. Importantly, two of the programs had a GRE requirement and two were equivalent but did not:

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

So grateful for everyone who helped make allcove San Juan Capistrano possible from our youth advisors, to our funders, to our clinicians, this is quite an accomplishment!!

Incredibly unfair to all the 2nd year students and clinical psychology students who have spent months preparing their applications - changes to this year’s NSF GRFP don’t allow Y2 or clinical psychology students to apply… www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

We’re recruiting a Director for @uarizona.bsky.social's newly renovated Behavioral Health Clinic, a core member of our clinical faculty who will help lead grad clinical training. Review starts soon and will continue until we fill the position. Please share widely! arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

Finished WARN-D data collection, all cohorts/waves. Cleaning & deidentifying data now so we can share w research community. First look at compliance rates: left 3mo EMA data, right baseline + follow-ups. Super happy with this. Thx to @rayyantutunji.bsky.social for quick graphs.

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

Amazing opportunity to be a colleague with one my favorite people who is doing some of the coolest clinical science @shirleybwang.bsky.social ! Encourage everyone to apply!

The psych job market isn’t dead! Join us at UIC!!! We are looking for a clinical psychologist (assistant or associate level)!! Chicago is simply the best, and the department is incredibly lovely! I’m not on search committee, but as the “newest” hire, I’m happy to talk about my experience thus far!

I will be reviewing applications for Stony Brook’s Clinical Psychology doctoral program this fall. The research streams of my lab are summarized on the department website: www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/psyc...

PsyArXiv is now down to only ~40% of the backlog we started with, thanks to our amazing moderators 🎉 To all mods: thank you so much for your hard work! Did one of your preprints get approved recently? Help us show our thanks by liking and sharing this post :) #PsyArXiv #PsychSciSky

I'll be reviewing computational/cognitive and clinical psychology applications this year for the Translational Lab at Emory 💭🔬 Please share broadly and send applicants my way! 🔄 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.
