‼️‼️‼️ This special issue will be a BANGER! Consider submitting your work linking context and dynamics to personality pathology. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

🚨 Spread the word! We're (w/ @whitneyringwald.bsky.social & @aleksakaurin.bsky.social) organizing a special issue at PD:TRT focused on innovations for measuring context in ambulatory assessment studies of personality pathology. We'd love for you (yes, you) to submit a proposal (deadline Nov. 14th):

1 week out folks! If you're gearing up for your first meta-analysis, check out the link below.

We're about a month out, so reposting this for those looking to learn a bit about quantitative methods for meta-analysis!

At APS? Come to our symposium "Advancing Dimensional Models of Psychopathology: Bridging Psychometric, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Perspectives on the HiTOP Framework"! (Friday at 1) I'll be presenting working linking HiTOP to *actual behavior* assessed by smartphone sensors.

Check out our forthcoming viewpoint article in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science in which we argue that it is well past time to abandon the term 'dark' to describe antagonistic traits. w/ @jdmiller.bsky.social and @drlynam.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Out now, led by @alexanderhatoum.bsky.social! GWAS associations are enriched for existing psychiatric drug targets www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Just published in JoPACS! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40323898/ What is urgency and how should we best assess it in the moment? A thread 🧵 1/n

Stop asking me about SEM and go take this free workshop instead!

⏰📷 Last week to register for my Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling workshop on May 14-16! I cover 4 of 5 types of stability/change: structural, differential, normative, and individual change in panel data (2-10ish waves) Please RT! 🙏 smart-workshops.com/long-sem-info

📣 It's been a minute, but wanted to hop on here to let folks know that I'll be offering the Quant Methods for Meta-analysis workshop again this year (July 7th-8th; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). Check out the link to get a feel for what we'll cover, but I also have some info below 👇 1/3

Lab’s first comprehensive EMA-study 🤩! Thread will follow soon

@standupforscience.bsky.social in Pittsburgh!

I’ll see everyone Friday 💪💪 Thanks to @iriskayichat.bsky.social and others for getting PGH on board

The Letterboxd crew proudly present our inaugural celebration of the finest hyper-specific achievements in the past year of cinema. Our wildly subjective awards honor the best in categories ranging from Girl Dad to Sexy Accessory to Prosthetic Appendage. boxd.it/2rm

#StandUpforScience local rally in Pittsburgh is confirmed! 📅 March 7, 2025 ⏰ 11 AM-1:30 PM 📍Schenley Plaza, Pittsburgh Follow the local rally’s Instagram @savesciencepgh for updates Spread the word 🔥 @standupforscience.bsky.social #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceForAll #ScienceNotSilence #STEM

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

I think using the terminology of 'mandates' (both in David's original paper and his response article) has been a real obstacle in this broader convo about prereg. Particularly because such mandates largely don't exist, and field-wide use of prereg is actually quite low (~7% doi.org/10.1177/2515...)

@jananmost.bsky.social put in a ton of work on this paper, and she provides some valuable data on the newly developed self-report instrument for Hi-TOP. Give it a read and let us know what you think.

💫💫💫 Extremely excited about our new pre-print leveraging the strengths of hierarchical dimensional models of psychopathology to identify distinct behavior profiles from smartphone sensor data! Check out @aidangcw.bsky.social 's awesome thread on our findings!

Next week, I'm teaching a 3-day workshop on DSEM for intensive longitudinal data using Mplus and registration is still open -- more information about the topics and registration can be found here! statisticalhorizons.com/seminars/dyn...

Almost all of the APS journals now soliciting applications for editorial fellows - would love to have amazing new colleagues at Clinical Psych Science, please apply and share 🤓

@baswerdlow.bsky.social and a few others expressed an interest in seeing the grad personality course we will run this spring. Here it is for your perusal and for your comments and recommendations. I'm sure I've missed papers--please recommend them. The doc is open: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Pretty proud of this paper for being in the 10 Most Popular Articles from APS Journals in 2024, despite being published in October ✨ www.psychologicalscience.org/news/utc-202...

Just read this super cool paper by @whitneyringwald.bsky.social et al. showing cognitive factors trump emotional states for predicting drinking. Their combo of 120-day EMA + person-specific modeling offers a lot to understand how alcohol use plays out in daily life: psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

Anybody on here using Letterboxd (sorta like social media for movies)? They just dropped the year in review (letterboxd.com/2024/?utm_so...), and it made me reflect on some of my favorite first-time watches from this past year. Wanted to drop a few of my faves (in no particular order).

Can you help me build a list of things that are (or might be) wrong in the current HiTOP model while I'm sick and recovering on the couch? Some of my top hunches are: -My PhD was wrong (☹️) and low sexual function shouldn’t be neatly nested under internalizing 1/2

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our new paper in Psych Review (psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...; with @oisinryan.bsky.social and @fdabl.bsky.social), we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4

🚨Exciting postdoc opportunity!🚨 Applications are now open for the Susan Nolen-Hoeksema postdoctoral fellowship at Yale. More information & application: apply.interfolio.com/160599 Please share widely!

Looks like Trader Joe's is trying to rebrand everyone's favorite fallacy 🤨

Reposting because this postdoc position is still available! It's a great opportunity to publish high impact papers (you'll have 35 years of data to work with) and get mentorship and support towards an independent career.

If you've been meaning to catch up on some important discussions around preregistration, I'd recommend this exchange in Assessment, beginning with this paper by @klonskylab.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... (continued, 1 of 3)

So excited to share our new paper! We wondered whether misalignment between how youth think they are capable of acting (social, emotional, behavioral skills) and how they typically act (personality traits) matters for life outcomes. If you’re curious too, check out the preprint!

Over a third of professors are married to other professors. That creates a puzzle for hiring. I wrote about this curious practice that's immensely common to academia but nowhere else: Hiring the spouses of a person you want to recruit. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵

Just out: @faridanvari.bsky.social and I were on a podcast with @renemottus.bsky.social to talk about our work on construct and measure proliferation. Learn about this colourful rug, the jingle jangle jungle, bastard measures, toothbrushes and my continuing struggle with metaphor addiction.
