It's insane to me how many papers I review in which a slope is plotted with no SE or CI around it. Uncertainty quantification is what statistics is all about!

Thrilled (really) to share recent evidence from our READY study led by @paulaphilippi.bsky.social w/ @aidangcw.bsky.social: "Minutes that matter: A microburst approach to adolescents' resolution of affect in response to daily stressors" 🧵1/9

I'm really excited to share a new preprint! Lab studies have consistently shown that stress and negative emotions make people drink alcohol, but studies of daily life (EMA) keep failing to find it. What does that mean for the shared theoretical prediction both designs test? osf.io/preprints/ps...

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

There is a position for a Postdoc (3+3 years) in my lab. If you are interested in studying goals, self-regulation, self-control, motivation, personality, well-being, personality development, and/or intra-individual variability with me, here is more information jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/0...

Collabra: Psychology, the official journal of the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science, seeks applications for Editor-in-Chief! The SIPS Publications Committee encourages editors with innovative ideas about how Collabra: Psychology can best accomplish its mission to apply.

Does anyone have examples of successful SHRC Doctoral award applications that they could share with me? We have a Canadian student who is interested in applying for one and we don't have any examples. Thanks in advance!

Are different desires (e.g., food, sleep, alcohol, cannabis) experienced and regulated the same way? We tested this question in a new preprint with Yang Liu, @minzlicht.bsky.social, @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social, and @kevinmking.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Computationally formalising a verbal theory is an eye-opening experience because it forces you to openly state all the assumptions that the theory rest on

Glad this popped up again because this is one of the best videos on the internet

Reviewed some super cool symposium abstracts for SAA2026 in Vienna today. Bummed I won't be able to go this year.

I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data. 1/19 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New Stage 2 RR published in Clinical Psych Science: doi.org/10.1177/2167... contrary to what some claim, urgency DOES NOT moderate associations between affect and alcohol/cannabis use in EMA data. Take a look for a comprehensive test of this idea and let us know what you think!

A fun memory I just remembered: When @kevinmking.bsky.social interviewed me for his postdoc position a lifetime ago, his Zoom background was the Eye of Sauron. Not sure if that makes him Saruman. Would that make me Wormtongue? Discuss

Any computational RL people have thoughts (or even better a link to a paper) about effect sizes in the context of RL parameters like learning rate? I vaguely remember talking to someone about effect sizes possibly not being very meaningful…but a paper on the topic would be awesome!!

Our experimental study on the effects of negative mood and alcohol intoxication on reinforcement learning in the Iowa Gambling Task is now published OA in Judgment and Decision Making: doi.org/10.1017/jdm.... as always, anonymized data, materials, and code can be found on the OSF: osf.io/ky3aj/

We are looking for folks to help beta test our new mobile apps! This is your chance to do the EMA study you've been dreaming up for free! You can reach out to me on Bluesky or email at [email protected] if you're interested!

I will be reviewing applications for @unm.edu's Clinical Psychology as well as Diversity and Health Data Science Across the Lifespan PhD programs. Both deadlines are December 1! psych.unm.edu/graduate/ind...

Really cool new paper from the lab led by our awesome lab manager Diego Moss - see Kevin's thread below

The lab has been doing some cool work around basic affect regulation processes and their links to substance use. This paper was just accepted at JSAD. OSF has the pre-print, pre-reg, codebooks, and analysis files here: osf.io/ha58c/ Paper is here: www.jsad.com/doi/abs/10.1...
