🚨 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...

Cool preprint from @ajwright.bsky.social et al. demonstrating that personality change occurs at different time scales! www.researchgate.net/profile/Aman...

📦 A new chapter for m-Path! We may be moving (real) offices, but one thing is certain: Our trusted coach is joining us!! From feature brainstorms to deep dives into implementation (and a few philosophical detours 🤓)… our coach has heard it all!

🤔 Can people with dementia participate in intensive experience sampling studies via smartphone? 🧐Yes, they can! Even with high-frequency sampling schemes (8 times / day)! Work from @lauradewitte.bsky.social in npj Dementia: doi.org/10.1038/s444...

📣 We are looking for a test audience! We’re excited to introduce a powerful new addition to our mobile sensing packages: m-Path Keyboard Tracking! #EMA #ESM #mobilesensing #behavioraldata #psychresearch

Cool example of #CitizenScience meets #EMA / #ESM: A large-scale study on how nightly sleep duration 😴 shapes daily emotional experience 🎭. Bonus points for running a full multiverse of analyses! 🧠🏆 online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

Cool work by Vanhasbroeck et al. (2024) relevant for #EMA / #ESM research: 🔁 Moderate to good retest consistency in fast-paced affective measures 📏 Whether it is VAS, Likert or 2D affect grid: Scale type doesn't seem to affect reliability! 🔗: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

📱 Want to know when to schedule your #EMA / #ESM beeps for the highest completion rates? ⏰ Timing matters: some moments during the day and week are more receptive than others. See: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

🆕 New in m-Path: Text-to-speech voice narration! 🎙️✨ We're making #EMA / #ESM more inclusive by enabling items to be read aloud — supporting participants with visual impairments or reading difficulties. Currently available in 5 languages! 🌍 For more info: manual.m-path.io/knowledge-ba...

How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️ In this cross-national study, we investigate the links between urbanicity, anxiety and depressive disorders in 500,000 adults across the UK, Norway, and New Zealand 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📢 New paper alert! Invited review led by Francis Tuerlinckx for BJMSP on the latest developments in #EMA / #ESM research 📱🔍 doi-org.kuleuven.e-bronnen.be/10.1111/bmsp... A (very) short 🧵 below: @saa2025leuven.bsky.social

(2/2) #m-Party #SAA2025

How to deal with overnight lags in #EMA studies? 📱🛏️🤔 There's more than one way to handle them, and the *best* way depends on your variable of interest! As always: It's complicated 😉 New work by Sophie Berkhout et al. in #PsychMethods

(1/2) 📸 What a night! Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made the #m-Party unforgettable. 🎶 Special shoutout to m-Path's very own DJ @dejonckheere.egon.bsky.social for keeping the dance floor alive all night! The full photo album will be shared with all #SAA2025 participants stay tuned! ✨

#HPGVienna is so excited to host @ambulatory-assessment.org #SAA2026 conference in Vienna @univie.ac.at next year! 📆 Save the date: 3 to 6 August 2026

Leuven seems to be an outlier in this attendance time series, discussed in @aneubauer.bsky.social secretary report at the #SAA2025 general assembly! 📈

What an insane crowd at the #SAA2025 m-Party (also sublime dance moves)! 💃🪩🕺🏼 #EMA researchers know how to party! 👊🙏

Live at the m-party! 💃🪩

Really happy that @leonieschorrlepp.bsky.social presented the results of our mixed-methods study uncovering response processes in ESM studies 📱. Take-away: people are very inconsistent in how they come up with their answers. Talking to participants in key! 🔐 #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...)

I very much appreciate @leonievogelsmeier.bsky.social's openness about challenges in studying markers for careless responding and how to address them live while collecting data - among them lots of issues in dealing with participants' digital footprints #SAA2025

Happening now at #SAA2025! @gudruneisele.bsky.social leading a symposium on ESM data quality & quantity. Kicking us off @ccp-kuleuven.bsky.social PhD student, @millapihlajamaki.bsky.social on careless responding. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... #ProudSupervisor

Inez Myin-Germeys sheds light on the promise of #EMA in clinical practice ✨, and the hurdles we must overcome 🧩. ✅ personalization of surveys ✅ intuitive dashboards ✅ real-time inteventions Important take-aways for m-Path! 📲 #SAA2025

@rayyantutunji.bsky.social showing at #SAA2025 that wearable data (EPA) is not enough to predict mental well-being (R2 = 0.01). My bet is more on timing (triggering) surveys compared to leaving out surveys. Impressed by the commitment to correct validation (not even touching test set until later)!

Cool #SAA2025 talk from Niels van Hasbrouck about how an extreme response style can have a severe effect on affect dynamics. Should we push everyone to have the same response style by only allowing discrete answers?

First day of #SAA2025, and @bringmannlaura.bsky.social is killing it with her talk on including qualitative options in ESM! @saa2025leuven.bsky.social @ambulatory-assessment.org

#SAA2025 has just kicked off. We are grateful to the organisers for welcoming us to KU Leuven this year, and we are looking forward to an exciting three days! @saa2025leuven.bsky.social

Just gave our annual @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social workshop together with Marlies Houben and @domimaciejewski.bsky.social on the basics of #ESM study design and analysis! What an enthusiastic audience. Always a pleasure to help researchers get started with experience sampling methodology! 🚀📱

@vrtnws.be, ben ik de enige die deze verschillende gradaties van “paars” visueel moeilijk kan onderscheiden? Ik snap het idee van een huisstijl en zo, maar visibiliteit is toch ook belangrijk? 🤔

New work on #ESM / #EMA feasibility in more vulnerable populations! 👇

Great teamwork with m-Path: @merijnmestdagh.bsky.social, Stijn Verdonck, and Maarten Piot, and also the rest of the team: Eva Tolmeijer, Gert Stulp, Felicity Waite, Louise Isham, Anton P.B. Staring, Daniel Freeman and David van den Berg. 🤩

🚿🧾 Hotel info cards save towels not water A new study tested whether informing hotel guests about water scarcity reduced actual in-room water use. It did not – but did cut towel use. 🔗 doi.org/10.1057/s415... #SciComm #Sustainability 🧪

@timonelmer.bsky.social @eveliensnippe.bsky.social and colleagues explored the potential of different triggering strategies in a #JITAI study on social support in depressed individuals. Pre-print: osf.io/preprints/ps...
