On May 6th, I'll be providing a free webinar sponsored by www.smart-workshops.com on Bifactor models I plan to cover what I see as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly The good: what these models tell you that others can't The bad: how they are misinterpreted and misued The ugly: challenges modeling

How academic cheating neutralizations (justifications, from field of criminology) correlated with personality traits such as narcissism. Glad I moved on from this research. Who really needs to understand the type of person who justifies their behavior to reduce dissonance.

I’m working on cleaning an old dataset and just found the necessary information from an email dated 2010, and a summary word document created in 2011. The “but what if I need it later” reasoning just got a whole lot harder to extinguish.

My paper "Powering the Circumplex" was just accepted at Assessment! 🎉 It's a practical guide to sample size planning for the Structural Summary Method with an R package (github.com/kimberlyjg/s...) & web calculator (kjgilbert01.shinyapps.io/shiny/). Data & code: osf.io/63wyf

Below is a pre-recording of the talk I gave at the Society for Personality Assessment conference. I discuss applying ESM for personality assessment, integrating person and sample-wide patterns, and how discrimination changes patterns that may reflect adaptive responses to toxic environments.

Well the web and digital accessibility initiative at my university is starting off strong. N O I T I S N O T

Do people have recommendations for how to measure the construct of depression on a within-day timescale (eg 4x day) for an ESM study? Any favorite measures you all are using?

“Look, I know it’s your guys’ job to ask, but my answer is the same as always: Jayson won’t be back on the floor until he scores at least an eight on the Mazzulla Logic Meridian, and he’s just not there yet,” a visibly annoyed Mazzulla told reporters

Happy to donate part of my hair today to ChildrenWithHairLoss.org. And wow there was a lot of it.

The interpersonal situation framework describes a dynamic, unfolding context where perception, construal, affect, motivation, and behavior cycle between self and other. It also describes every open mic I ever did. Here, I map CIIT onto my experience. 🔗 kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/what-three...

You got me, APA.

1. Sends a shared excel sheet for others to complete 2. Receives multiple emails that the sheet is not shared 3. Fix and then forget the correct way to share a file 4. Repeat until the end of time

I just got an email from a colleague that asked “do you think you could send me 1-2 sentences by the end of the week”. So that is how low the bar is for me in terms of responding to people on time, that this was an honest question.

I am once again looking up the difference between farther (physical distance) vs further (figurative distance) for an email I’m sending.

Currently in a debate with a copy editor who suggests I can’t use the term inflexibility to describe personality disorder because the DSM uses that term and it may constitute copyright infringement. The irony is not lost on me.

I’m finally catching up with my inbox from the fall and looking through months worth of journal alerts. Some really interesting work you all have been doing!

What are people using these days to coordinate recurring meetings for the spring semester? Mix of individual meetings, group meetings, coordinating shared availability, and preferences? Any good programs or tips for putting all of that together? Current method is looking at emails and screaming.

Me: My daughter is so sweet she gave our dog Luna a bead necklace. 2 hours, $400, and 1 stomach pump later, it turns out Luna swallowed 30 beads and plastic string. Journal action editor: yea so you can just ask for an extension on your late review without giving a reason.

Qualtrics bringing some real Reviewer 2 energy to me this morning.
