Excited to share that I’ll be the incoming Editor of AMPPS. My first priority is building a diverse team of Associate Editors and Editorial Board members. If you’re interested, DM me or add your name via this super simple survey. cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please share!

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation. osf.io/preprints/ps...

NSB-vlaggen op het Malieveld. Geweld tegen de politie door extreemrechts. Onacceptabel. Dit zijn Trumpiaanse toestanden, gevoed door politici die angst en verdeeldheid zaaien. Stil blijven is geen optie. Je moet je laten horen. Samen staan we sterker.

Dit is kolder. Ten eerste omdat dat debat voor de meeste studenten irrelevant is, ten tweede omdat veel van die andersdenkenden helemaal geen ‘debat’ willen, ze willen gewoon je podium. Ze doen alsof ze debat willen, maar hebben nul interesse in argumenten nos.nl/l/2582649

For potential grad students: if you're interested in this kind of work on assessing and improving close relationships measures, our group just got a grant to do five more years of it. Join our team!

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

If you're interested in emotions and looking for a PhD position, you should definitely check out Katie's position. I could hardly think of a better supervisor. Katie's work is innovative and smart, she writes extremely well and she's a wonderful human being.

A major annoying thing about having kids are other parents who constantly compare milestones (e.g. sitting, crawling). These are all averages. The intervals are really wide and where you fall in that interval doesn't really matter. Only if your kid's WAY off, it MAY be that something is wrong.

New paper by @bsiepe.bsky.social & WARN-D team out now in JoPACS, on the (lack of) relation between EMA selfreport and Garmin passive data. Guardian @theguardian.com coverage: www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Paper: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... 🧪 #PsychSciSky #StatsSky #EpiSky

New paper: In the context of self-regulated learning, if LLMs reliably simulated survey responses, they could be used to test interventions, refine theoretical models, & augment sparse datasets; but the psychometric validity of the responses depends on the LLM. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New preprint! Does data quality drop when participants respond to #EMA / #ESM surveys in the presence of others? We explored this in a pooled analysis of 4 ESM studies and found (subtle) shifts in burden & response behavior depending on participants’ social context: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

How Accurate & Consistent are Self-Report responses via Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) in Ecological Momentary Assessment & Digital Studies? Examined in a massive EMA study (N = 3,761), our new #OpenAccess piece on this is just out: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky 🧵:

I’d rather know something descriptive like how many kids reported “sometimes” or higher to say half the items. I bet it’s below 10%. This concludes episode 1,565,248 of Measurement Matters. /end

We presented our first insights from the ASAP project at #SAA2025. This project develops a youth-tailored mixed methods ESM design. Check it out osf.io/r6wmp/ 👈 Jennifer Chen presented her first study on youth-driven ESM choices. Find all protocols and materials here: osf.io/5np97/ 👈

🚀Postdoc position @unimarburg.bsky.social in the project: "Bridging the Gap Between Verbal Psychological Theories & Formal Statistical Modeling with Large Language Models" (funded by @volkswagenstiftung.de) 📅Start: 01.10.2025 | ⏳4 years 🔗 Apply now: uni-marburg.de/jhbCen 🔄 Thanks for sharing!

One interesting empirical finding in our report is that the findings we comment on are numerically wildly different from ones calculated with appropriate methods.

@shuhbillskee.bsky.social, Niklas Johannes & I finally submitted our critique of a "new paradigm" in social media effects research for peer-review at Meta-Psychology. If you're interested in reviewing, please submit a review to [email protected] or e.g. prereview.org, or reply here.

Wonderful DJ at #SAA2025. Thanks @dejonckheeregon.bsky.social I haven't danced that hard in a long time ❤️

Measurement is interaction! Lovely symposium by @molthof.bsky.social, Nessa ikani, Fred Hasselman, @leonieschorrlepp.bsky.social and Melissa de Smet about measurement reactivity. #saa2025

Very exciting to see the work from @katiehoemann.bsky.social at #SAA2025! Participants were able to voice record a description of events. Katie clustered these over many different topics. 2 fun ones: - Complaints about rain (study was in Belgium 😅) - Complaints about the study itself (ESM...)

Really happy that @leonieschorrlepp.bsky.social presented the results of our mixed-methods study uncovering response processes in ESM studies 📱. Take-away: people are very inconsistent in how they come up with their answers. Talking to participants in key! 🔐 #SAA2025

Just gave our annual @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social workshop together with Marlies Houben and @domimaciejewski.bsky.social on the basics of #ESM study design and analysis! What an enthusiastic audience. Always a pleasure to help researchers get started with experience sampling methodology! 🚀📱

Please help to protect Dutch academia! The universities threaten to cut international psychology programs which would be devastating not only in the Netherlands but worldwide! #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

Folks, universities here are have decided to cut international psychology programs, which will be devastating to psychological science in the Netherlands. Please consider signing this open letter on behalf of my colleagues and me; anybody can sign. openletter.earth/against-lang...

This plan is naïve, unjust, and misguided. To manage numbers of international students, quota are a proper tool; language barriers are foolish and unnecessary Sign our open letter here to support us: lnkd.in/eTqExidY #supportdutchpsychology #againstlanguagebarriers

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

In response to null findings like these, people often say 'We need to improve engagement'. Do coproduction, make the app more fun, etc I advocate for an alternative: young people are telling us they don't like or want this, and we should listen to them.
