Rob Chavez gives the helpful/correct answer below, but here's another thought: Your preprint gets to be your director's cut. Put that baby on OSF or Zenodo and add a link in your figure caption.

International research collaborations run into international problems: Embargoes, authorship conflicts, ethical use agreements. This should not be the way. We propose a framework, a memorandum of understanding between countries, to allow free collaboration between researchers osf.io/preprints/ps...

The package formerly known as papercheck has changed its name to metacheck! We're checking more than just papers, with functions to assess OSF projects, github repos, and AsPredicted pre-registrations, with more being developed all the time. scienceverse.github.io/metacheck/

Sending 3yolds (N = 588) to Montessori preschools causes increases in theory of mind, letter-word identification ability. Lottery study with followup through Kindergarten! Excited to see the longer-term results of this study! From Angeline Lillard www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych

How can we start to get closer to true generalizability in the human sciences? A talk I gave at the wonderful BTSCon suggests the first steps! Excited to start this journey with the @psysciacc.bsky.social Preprint with more details coming soon #meta #psych #phdsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=7mk4...

Psychological Assessment is seeking its new editor, to start receiving manuscripts in early 2027 to prepare for issues published in 2028: www.apa.org/pubs/journal... Deadline for accepting nominations is Monday, January 12, 2026, at editorsearch.apa.org @apajournals.bsky.social

Something that does not get talked about enough is moving your lab to a new University. Those who have moved their research lab to a new part of the country or new country: what did you wish you knew or someone told you to do? #phdsky #psych

🌟 We’re hiring! 🌟 Are you interested in memory, cognitive training, & healthy ageing? We’re looking for a Research Assistant to join our lab! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOZ814/r... 👉 0.5 FTE (2.5 days/week), 4 months (likely from 01/26) 👉 Annual salary £32,080 to £33,002 (pro-rata) 👉 Based in Sheffield, UK

Do messages claiming free will doesn’t exist actually shift people's beliefs? Our @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social paper finds believe reductions over a week—but only when the context of reporting beliefs is the same as when reading text. w/ @protzko.bsky.social @sebraem.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yb3y4ahs

Trump wants to turn his assault on cities into visual propaganda for suburbanites. The inflatable animal suits ruin the imagery. But so would everyone carrying American flags. The left should reclaim patriotic imagery so the only videos ICE can make are of beating up banner-waving patriots.

Results of the replication are in! Chocolate is more desirable than poop: Cohen's d_rm = 6.20, 95%CI [5.63, 6.78] N = 486, two single item 1-7 Likert scales of desirability. w/ @jamiecummins.bsky.social

In between-Ss experiments: without a reference point, people say playing a prank is bad but give the same ‘bad’ rating to committing a war crime. Not in within-Ss experiments or when giving reference points for judgments. From @vladchituc.bsky.social www.crockettlab.org/s/1-s20-S001... #psych

Always remember: There are no effects without causality

it really is astounding that the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were spent on this unrelenting campaign to stop teenagers drinking, having sex and doing drugs but when it finally starts working then millenials and gen X start freaking out about it in a way that is clearly just pure projection. incredible.

Even if you tell people cognitive biases are good & lead to good outcomes, we still think they have the bias less than others. Only when we see the bias as very desirable we might think we are = to others on it. From @cruzf.bsky.social & André Mata link.springer.com/content/pdf/... #psych #phdsky

Don't let minor submission errors delay the publication of your research! 📝 🔬 Remember to check the full guidelines when submitting the manuscript to PsyArXiv (buff.ly/M3cRBW2). Below, we also have a few friendly reminders!

We should fear common method variance; especially in self-report scales. A nonsense likert scale ‘predicts’ later relationship satisfaction. We are getting results using methods when we are measuring nothing. From @datingdecisions.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych #stats

Does nature exposure help children with ADHD? In what appears to be the first pre-registered trial, the evidence suggests maybe not. Medication helps but nature exposure has no significant effect. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hostile and benevolent sexism are both on the decline in 1,097 studies, N = 339,740 since 1996. Note that "3" on these scales is already a neutral response. Even bigger progress in countries with more hostile sexism. From Matthew D. Hammond psycnet.apa.org/psycarticles... #phdsky #psych

A video of a class I gave at ELTE Budapest now online: "Credible science, evaluating science, & need for a science reform" Amazing they have an open-science "Defense Against the Dark Arts" course, and that they invited me to give a session. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Af... Details 👇🧵

Public appreciation post for @juliabottesini.com! The community doesn't know the great lengths Julia has gone to restabilize operations at PsyArXiv. We're all incredibly lucky to have her. Many, many hours and a great deal of thought/care have gone into the task. Thank you, Julia!

We have to start finding out how long our interventions last. So we did. Manipulating people’s belief in free will works, & lasts for somewhere between less than a day to 1 week at best. Our new paper, led by @olivergenschow.bsky.social & with @sebraem.bsky.social osf.io/7ftsk_v1/dow... #psych

Chimpanzees in the wild of Uganda & Cote d’Ivoire have about 1.4 – 2.6 drinks-worth of alcohol per day in over-ripened fruit. That’s about the same amount per day as modern humans. From Aleksey Maro www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #primateresearch #phdsky

My take on multilevel models based on the literature: YOU HAVE TO USE MLMS! Except they have assumptions that are never met. & when those assumptions aren't met they are biased. & the 'right' models never converge. & other approaches are wrong bc they aren't MLMs. But you have to use them. #stats

I am happy to announce the publication of our new work on the impact of arbitrary analytical choices on type I and type II error rates. We simulated reaction time data in a conflict task and analyzed the notable CSE effect in a multiverse manner. Worrying results: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Academia.edu is changing its Terms and Conditions, and they're so outrageous (AI training; signing over ownership to them etc) I closed my account today. A thread with some practical tips if you want to delete your account (5 steps):

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates. For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim. “Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

Preschool-aged kids whose parents are working class are less likely to be called on when they raise their hand compared to kids with middle/upper class occupations. Early socialization indeed. | From @lewisdoyle.bsky.social & @andreicimpian.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych #phdsky

Say it with me: Demand effects do not exist in online studies. Participants in online studies don't care about our research. They aren't trying to be good subjects. They want their $. #psych #meta

Researchers: Stop Thinking You Know How Things Have Changed, Go Measure It! Your intuitions are biased. The past isn't how you think it is. Measurement Invariance is a mindset & a must. Our new paper on intuitive vs real change in society/people. osf.io/4v6mf_v1/dow... #psych #phdsky #sociology
