We investigated the @hitop-system.bsky.social Brief Report (HiTOP-BR) in two German samples. Although there is room for improvement in certain areas, the HiTOP-BR provides a time-efficient and psychometrically acceptable assessment of the 6 HiTOP spectra. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Last week, we lost our dear friend, colleague, and mentor, Cord Benecke, who passed away at the age of 60. We will never forget you, Cord! 💛 www.uni-kassel.de/fb01/en/depa...

Zusätzlich zum SCID-5-CV Workshop bieten @maxganslmeier.bsky.social und ich auch einen SCID-5-AMPD Workshop an - für alle die sich mit dem neuen Konzept der Persönlichkeitsstörung im DSM-5 AMPD/ICD-11 fundiert auseinandersetzen und mehr Sicherheit in der Diagnostik erlangen möchten.

Construct validity is a cornerstone of psychological science. But too often, construct validation practices fall short, leaving uncertainty about what our measures really capture. Why is that? We (@stmllr.bsky.social) tackle this question in our 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁: 🧵…

Interesting new special issue in Psychological Assessment. Edited by Kristin Naragon-Gainey and @kstanton.bsky.social Here's their overview paper: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... And here's our contribution, which will win us no friends: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Unsere Gedanken über den Nutzen neuerer Modelle zur dimensionalen Persönlichkeit(sstörungs)diagnostik für die forensische Glaubhaftigkeitsbegutachtung. In der FPPK, mit Johannes Zimmermann @jzpsych.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A year ago, 20 German personality psychologists came together under the leadership of John Rauthmann to assess the status of the field (not only from a German perspective). An English-language version of this paper (in press at Psychologische Rundschau) is now available:

New paper out in European Psychologist 📄⏰: "A Hitchhiker's Guide to Translation." In a collaborative project with spokespersons of many subfields of the German Psychological Society (DGPs) we explore ideas for connecting basic psychology and clinical psychology. econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/10.1027/...

Psychological internet interventions are effective in people suffering from depressive symptoms who do not meet criteria for depression yet. Particularly for those with at least moderate symptom severity @mathiasharrer.bsky.social @toshi-frkw.bsky.social bit.ly/4kcYMxS

Our paper "Why do judgments on different person-descriptive attributes correlate with one another? A conceptual analysis with relevance for most psychometric research" (osf.io/preprints/ps...) has just been accepted for publication by Collabra: Psychology.

New paper comparing latent dimensional, categorical, and hybrid models of internalizing psychopathology. Dimensions win out, no surprise there. But the use of skewed latent dimensions as a comparison is a nice addition. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you're into ambulatory assessment of personality and psychopathology, I'll provide some distractions for your timeline this week. First up, our (@whitneyringwald.bsky.social @jzpsych.bsky.social) paper on Measuring Psychopathology in Daily Life is now in a journal. link: doi.org/10.1177/2167...

If you want to do ambulatory assessment (e.g., EMA) in applied settings, say with patients, how many observations do you need to get a reliable estimate of a person's mean, variability, or correlation? We (@jzpsych.bsky.social & Florian Scharf) ran some simulations to get the answer...a🧵

Just updated our preprint "Why do judgments on different person-descriptive attributes correlate with one another? A conceptual analysis with relevance for most psychometric research" (osf.io/preprints/ps...).

Most of you probably already know from the dark place but we have published a new open-access paper that discusses different classificatory approaches to mental health problems (cpe.psychopen.eu/index.php/cp...). The work was spearheaded by my boss, Winfried Rief.

Based on my own personal observations and the many, many exchanges that I have had with victims and witnesses over the years, I will use this platform to talk about some of the awful - and sometimes absurd - stuff that takes place behind the facades of academic institutions in Germany (1/6).

Very excited to share psychometric analyses of our item bank for studying psychopathology multidimensionally and hierarchically in daily life. We hope these will bridge research on dimensions of psychopathology and dynamic processes in naturalistic settings (e.g., complex systems). 1/
