Results from study of mental health in 92 countries (n>53,000): People are not doing well. - U-shape for age is gone: Young adults lowest health, highest illness - Education still matters (a lot) - 45% of older people live alone - Hybrid work > 100% remote or in-person Preprint: osf.io/3jyda_v1

I’m so excited to be here! Let the career day begin! This is such an important & much-needed initiative. Judging by the number of sessions I’ve signed up for, you can probably tell how uncertain I am about my next career steps. Will it be industry, research, or ...? Maybe I’ll find out today!

It’s so nice to see that our “COVID EMA Dream Team” continues to publish great results long after the two lockdowns we went through. I miss those times a bit :P

Pro tip: many medical workshops in Austria are free for students from related fields!! Even got to insert a pacemaker into a pig heart 😁

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/

Danke dafür!

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...

@bmj.com Please look at PubPeer comments on an article you published last week. pubpeer.com/publications... I think your research integrity dept shld act swiftly on this one, given clinical significance. I'm aware of even more evidence of problems so let me know if this is not sufficient.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Und was macht Forscher:in am freien Tag? Erstmal ca. 4h unterwegs sein, um nach Bochum, meiner Kindheits-Heimat zu kommen. Denn da lebt noch meine Mutter, die leider schwer an einer weit verbreiteten neurodegenerativen Erkrankung leidet - #Parkinson. Ein #Rant.

A reminder to those of us with international collaborations that it's Temporal Chaos Week!

If you see a small hedgehog in autumn (like the one in my hands), please take it to a rescue center. Our autumns are too warm, & hedgehog moms now have a 2nd litter. These tiny babies can’t survive winter! This one weighs only 130g (needs 500g). Please keep an eye out! #hedgehog #wildlife

New global study lead by @psysciacc.bsky.social with @scanunit.bsky.social across 18 languages challenges a classic idea in psycholinguistics: when we read, we don’t always imagine objects in the same orientation as described. doi.org/10.1007/s121...

📅 Mark your calendars for SIPS 2026! 📅 The SIPS 2026 in-person conference will take place in Washington, DC, June 8-10, 2026. The conference will be at the George Mason University Arlington, Virginia campus (thanks to @natonge.bsky.social, our 2026 local host!)

Published today: One of the biggest #science #communication studies to date. We asked 71,922 people in 68 countries how they #engage with information about #science and combined the data with several country-level factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenAccess

@scanunit.bsky.social please RT and support

Best time of the year! <3

I am so proud of our amazing @scanunit.bsky.social interns N. Bislimi, @annakulesza.bsky.social, @emmalwood.bsky.social & A. Gaiswinkler, who led the Themen-Café “Trust in Psychological Science in the Age of AI” at the OIS @lbg.ac.at Conference. What a fantastic first step into the academic world!

Nice to see the Uni thriving. Yet many of the scientists who contributed to this success will have to leave in a few years. For those who don’t know — many researchers are on temporary contracts & can stay at one U. for a max. of 8y. After that, it’s either a permanent position (lol) or goodbye.

Great project and great leads! I’m honored to have shared an office with @kimdoell.bsky.social — I wish I’d asked for an autograph back then :P Also grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to these BTS efforts. Btw, if you didn’t know, the @btscon.bsky.social is happening right now! Join!

Spoiler: "data is generally not available upon request, and promissory Data Availability Statements are typically not adhered to" boo! Aint cool :-/

With @epronizius.bsky.social, @monabielig.bsky.social, @clauslamm.bsky.social, @protzko.bsky.social, Olena Vitkovska, and Celina Kacperski, we'll explore the ethical tensions, institutional constraints, and political risks of doing science across borders—especially in times of war or crisis.

@clauslamm.bsky.social & I contributed to a global study that analyzed 21 million trials across 30 languages, revealing semantic priming [SP] as a robust cognitive mechanism across cultures and writing systems. Lead by @aggieerin.bsky.social and @slewis5920.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Emily J. Kate and Michael Feichtinger have set a good example and published the material from their workshop "From Data Chaos to Scientific Synergy: PhD Candidates and Mentors Working in Synch" in our Zenodo community. zenodo.org/communities/... All contributors, please follow! #osfestival2025

If you have submitted a preprint to PsyArXiv in the last year or so and it *isn't* currently accessible, there's a good chance it's due to the document listing authors whom you haven't entered in the metadata.

Already in my calender :)

And so it begins! @osfestivalde.bsky.social

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

⚠️ PsyArXiv is updating its policies in light of a higher volume of low quality submissions and our recent switch to a pre-moderation workflow. Read more about this change here 👉 (buff.ly/8jhqRJu ) and see our updated policies here 👉 (is.gd/paxpolicy ).

As part of the Pilot Reporting Task Force, founded at @improvingpsych.org conference 2023, I would like to share a preprint with you: osf.io/preprints/ps.... We are looking for feedback on our perspective piece, promoting more transparency in the reporting of piloting in psychological science. 1/4

📣 Elections for the SIPS Executive Committee are coming up! 🗳️ 📅 Voting begins on September 8 and will close on September 21. To be eligible to vote, please join or renew your SIPS membership by September 3!

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

Thanks to our amazing moderators working on this 24/7, we are now 50% done with the PsyArXiv backlog! 🎉 For all our PsyArXiv users, thank you for your patience. If you would like to help us, here are some tips to help your next preprint sail through moderation: #PsychSciSky

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

This RedNote post shocked me today. An anonymous user says they are going to upload 60 papers to arXiv soon and are looking for “citation partners” to boost citation counts together by citing each other. Something is seriously wrong in the system of evaluating researchers by citation counts.

Spending the weekend with OS peeps – what could be better :D Moderating PsyArXiv is super rewarding and fun. On one hand, I get to see all the incredible science happening around me (approve). On the other hand, I get a thrill when a dodgy submission turns out to be AI (reject). Katja, the detective

If you think your library or institution might be willing to become a supporting member of PsyArXiv, we would be very grateful if you can reach out to [email protected] [email protected], the PsyArXiv funding chair, will follow up and do the rest of the work :)

Ah, ist bald wieder „Postdoc Appreciation Week“, daher erneut 1 Erinnerung, dass der ganze Pseudo-Anerkennungs-Zirkus herzlich wenig wert ist, solange Postdocs in D sich weiter von Kettenvertrag zu Kettenvertrag hangeln, um anschließend ungeachtet aller Verdienste rausgekickt zu werden. #IchBinHanna

@annakulesza.bsky.social and @emmalwood.bsky.social, our SOD-WEAVE interns, delivered an inspiring lecture at IES Study Abroad, sparking reflections on diversity in research, asexuality, disability, and Freud’s legacy in Vienna. self-other.univie.ac.at/detailansich...

New paper! "Victims of Conspiracies? An Examination of the Relationship Between Conspiracy Beliefs and Dispositional Individual Victimhood" lead by D. Toribio-Flórez published in European Journal of Social Psychology. This paper is part of the TISPManyLabs project. doi.org/10.1002/ejsp...

Check our new preprint! Our systematic review of 206 reversal learning studies shows that behavioural flexibility research is heavily biased towards birds, rodents, and humans, with most animal diversity virtually untested. #Manymanys #BigTeamScience #ComparativeCognition

It was truly a pleasure to host Caroline Thoman, a pre-med neuroscience student from Indiana University Bloomington, USA, who joined our SOD-WEAVE Project this summer. Read about her experience in this blog post. @scanunit.bsky.social self-other.univie.ac.at/detailansich...
