So...my undergrad thesis student is doing a quality analysis of studies found in meta-analyses. She identified a few and we contacted the authors to request their effect sizes and other variables for the studies in their papers. Here's what happened: scientiapsychiatrica.com/index.php/Sc...

Grateful to have joined the #mitnb workshop last week at TESC, Tilburg. Five days of inspiring talks, engaging hackathons, and great people from around the world! Thanks to MITNB and @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social for organizing such an energizing and insightful event on timescales in #ESM research.

Thanks #MITNB for organizing this wonderful event and to everyone who joined the hackathons, discussions, and social events. It was exciting to see colleagues from around the globe think critically about measurement in ESM. I'm grateful to have been invited to give a workshop on careless responding.

A quick (1000 words) read to enjoy with your morning coffee or afternoon tea: "Psychology wants to stay WEIRD, not go WILD" Why hasn't psychology diversified it samples, methods, theories, etc.? Because it doesn't want to. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Had a fun talk with @ranabkalkan.bsky.social at her "Faces Behind Papers" podcast. We talked about my academic journey (it started as an accident), current research (emotions, their measurement & the value of mixed-methods) & transition to parenthood (so intense!) Listen here: tinyurl.com/yrutj2nu

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data. Go teamwork <3

I am hiring PhD candidates to study the psychology of attention & technology use at @tilburg-university.bsky.social. We're looking for motivated & curious scholars with expertise in cognitive psychology and statistics, and offer a friendly work environment with great terms & benefits. tiu.nu/22989

Two exciting ERC-funded PhD positions on attention and technology use with @matti.vuorre.com I’ll be an (external) part of the supervision team and can highly recommend this department @tilburg-university.bsky.social tiu.nu/22989

Congrats to my colleague @eeskevanroekel.bsky.social! Can't wait for the things she'll do in the next years. Writing a grant is stressful and can feel lonely. I'm happy we did it together, without any cat fights & competition. Makes it easy to be happy for her, even though my grant wasn't awarded.

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/... Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

Is anyone going to #SAS2026 and would like to be part of a symposium on the measurement of emotions? I wanna present results from mixed methods study where we asked people to explain HOW they chose a certain number during each emotion assessment. @affectscience.bsky.social #AffectSci Pls share!

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

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...)
