Hey psychologists, when you're explaining some psychological phenomenon that's perfectly well captured in psychological terms, maybe you don't need to refer to some shitty neuroimaging study with ten people to make it seem more "sciencey"...

Excited to share a Registered Report in J. of Personality looking at the “perils of partialing” – led by the Bluesky-less Leigha Rose with @drlynam.bsky.social and me. (1) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*? Turns out: yes! We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Apropos of recent open science conversations - this paper is an awesome primer for grad students and faculty who want to learn more: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

Question for my open science peeps! @nphillips36.bsky.social and I are working on a lit review where we’re coding whether or not manuscripts have open data. How should we handle cases where authors provide links to big, “open” datasets? In some of these cases, the data are hidden behind so much…

Extremely excited to share the first effort of the Revived Genomics of Personality Consortium: A highly-powered, comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality traits in 1.14 million participants from 46 cohorts. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Question for the hive mind: @courtlandhyatt.bsky.social and I are conducting a scoping review that requires us to download all articles published in multiple academic journals over several years. Anybody know of a way to do this that doesn't require us to individually download each article?

My first blog post! In which I advance the case that if you're like me and believe aggression research can be a net positive for the world, then you should care a lot about making sure aggression research is rigorous and replicable. A few points I didn't make in the post:
