We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

STATS PEOPLE: Specifically, people who use Mplus for LPA/LCAs, do you have any references to why we do NOT need to use any family-wise error control for BCH distal outcome pairwise tests between class/profile solutions??

IMPORTANT UPDATE IMPORTANT UPDATE Regarding APHU/ACLU et al. vs. NIH Lawsuit

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 So many Christian nationalists profess their spirituality as motivation for the institutionalization of Christian beliefs and values, but how reliable is that claim? doi.org/10.1007/s110...

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Yes please! Esp. LGBTQ+ journals, I don’t know of any that accept them

What the helly? Where's IL????

Hey #psych crew! We want to launch a rapid response around the end of the LGBTQ+ 988 resource. Any one in the suicide/LGBTQ+ space interested in helping?

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.

Sometimes (many times) OSF.io is unreliable, that's when I discovered anonymous.4open.science/dashboard, a website that can BLIND your Github repo for peer-review! Highly recommend giving it a try!

As of yesterday using publicly available data via Grant Watch grant-watch.us/nih-data.html: 05/24/2025 word cloud depicting 165 unique words or phrases, flagged 10904 times, within 2118 terminated NIH grants. @standupforscience.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Terrifying and absolutely destructive. Can't think of any reason why this would be warranted.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

REMINDER.....REMINDER......REMINDER 3 DAYS LEFT TO COMMENT ON SCHEDULE F 1/n

5/ The editor’s comment confirmed the coding error but failed to mention its impact on the paper’s results. The author concluded that the results were “not robust”. The journal did not post our comment, BUT the replication files allowed us to do the replication we wanted to do from the start.

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

@justinwolfers.bsky.social on @pbsnews.org TEAR Trump admins recent tariffs—never felt so refreshed. Thank you!!!

I will say, the one thing this update DID DO was anonymize git repos because… you can’t access them lol. Anonymous links previously would lead you to a 404 page BUT if the users name in the same link… destroying blind viewing access… But yeah otherwise this update sucks…

Again, you should include open text responses on all online surveys now…

#OpenScience ! Does anyone have access to a preregistration for scale development using IRT? Asking for myself!

For people freaking out: you can try adding questions AI has been known to get wrong, as a temporary solution!

#uhoh Looks like OpenAI can take surveys for you… how are we going to stop this?? It’s currently only for “Pro Users” ($200/month) but eventually roll out. Big threat to survey research

David Condon and I are very pleased that our Unidim paper is finally out at Psychological Measurement: Open access at dx.doi.org/10.1037/met0... We describe the unidim statistic which has been available in the psych package for several years. We compare u to CFI, omega_h, and other estimates.

anyone having issues with osf.io??? it's giving a ton of errors right now

Humbled to have matched at the Seattle VA! Excited to be at this stage and so grateful to everyone who helped me get here.

Loved seeing Amna at PBS press in on what conservatives mean when they say “eradicate transgenderism” I can FEEL her anger youtu.be/6tnuLCK-sR4?...

Can’t believe I’m typing this but… FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC. If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

Was anyone else’s NIH application up for review today and now showing blank after this email? Trying to figure out if this is just a review delay or yet another case of casual viewpoint suppression!

Just a reminder that you can change your handle to your github.io repo!

#quantpsych Does anyone remember a post/preprint/paper about new terms for describing MCAR/MAR/NMAR? I'm trying to find it but I can't 😢 I think it was something related to systematic error, vs response bias, or something

We have a call open for editor for Psychological Bulletin. Deadline is Monday January 13, 2025. If you know someone or you are interested see the link below. Its a great journal to be involved with. www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

Can anyone tell me if there's a clinical psych starter pack? Hoping to lay down roots here!

Recently, someone asked me what data management practice I most recommend. And I said documentation. You can give users the most immaculate dataset to work with, but if you don't also share a data dictionary to interpret variables, and a README to provide context, that data is unusable.
