La #littérature spirituelle, de #DéveloppementPersonnel et de bien-être a le don de nous émerveiller et de nous rassurer en apportant des réponses simples à des questions complexes. C’est sans doute ce qui explique la véritable explosion de ce segment au sein du marché du livre.👇🏼

Hommage de l'Afis à Jacques Van Rillaer

This is a great paper on scale norming that also presents a really nice discussion of how people come up with their responses to surveys, and how that can change over time. One read of it has me wanting to put it into my assessment syllabus already.

En souvenir de l'ami Jacques van Rillaer ❤, décédé hier, revoici l'une de ses dernières interventions publiques, en visio lors des Rencontres de l'esprit critique 2022: youtube.com/watch?v=8ygU...

Le grand Jacques (RIP), son cancer, et la gestion de soi Jacques Van Rillaer était mon ami. Je l’avais rencontré il y a vingt ans, autour du Livre noir de la psychanalyse (aux Arènes, 2004), et depuis lors, nous entretenions des rapports très agréables.

#OffensiveObscurantiste La prof estime que le rendu "does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive". L'étudiante joue la carte "discrimination religieuse" et gagne.

Cool study in JAMA Psychiatry confirms what many have suspected for a while: PHQ (depression questionnaire) instructions are widely misinterpreted by patients. It is unfortunate that a questionnaire as shitty as PHQ-9 has become so ingrained & ubiquitous jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

J’avoue que j'ai mis les doigts dans la prise en me lançant dans une enquête sur l’école de “méditation laïque“ de Fabrice Midal. Les messages que j’ai reçus suite à mon appel à témoignages viennent non seulement confirmer les contradictions que j’avais relevées, mais aussi... 1/8 #enquête

Our dystopia won't be apocalyptic - it'll just be a regular, incredibly frustrating demonstration of the folly of fucking with complex systems...

Oh no. The press gave started reporting the collider-biased 'prodigy' study in Science 🤦 I think we might have a new 'fair game' teaching example!

This smells distinctly like collider bias and/or selection bias and/or regression to the mean... You simply can't select teen prodigies, and world class athletes rom databases, and go run regressions without serious consideration of the selection process!

📜 Our new preregistered 36-month longitudinal study, investigating the mechanisms underlying adverse anxious symptom change patterns, and their long-term clinical outcomes, is now out. Very excited to share after years of data collection & work on MS osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵 @edgelab.bsky.social

Qu’est-ce qui permet de discriminer entre la bienveillance du #chercheur et la bienveillance de l’astrologue ou du #naturopathe ? Laurent Puech, assistant social, nous raconte comment il est passé d’un esprit DE critique (aka son opinion) à l’exercice de l’esprit critique. #PenséeCritique 👇🏽

Our university press team asked me a few questions in regards to the new chair on Mental Health & Data Science. I sketch a bit of a vision on the importance of transdisciplinary work, and some obstacles to overcome. www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

New preregistered preprint by @emkbridger.bsky.social (w J Maltby, @danielnettle.bsky.social & @larsklintwall.bsky.social). We queried a UK-representative lay sample to rated perceived causal influence between 20 biopsychosocial causes linked to mental health & poverty. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Super proud of this paper with @apvelilla.bsky.social and @babeheim.bsky.social, now out in Psych Review. Non-paywalled version (preprint) here: osf.io/preprints/so...

S7E11 Should Essays be Used in College Admissions? Maybe... In this In The Wild episode, we turn our Quantitude loose on whether college admission essays should be used to make such high-stakes decisions, discussing what issues we would need addressed in order to answer that question.

Check out two new preprints from the lab! First, led by @leilyb.bsky.social: when people rate a 6/10 on suicidal urge severity, what does that mean? And is it the same across people and across time? We use LLMs to examine the content & consistency of suicidal thoughts, in two longitudinal samples.

Awesome preprint on model checking for VAR Models. Would love to see more "model checking" tutorial papers for various models, including a showcase what happens if the assumptions you impose on your data are not met in the data. 🧪 #psychscisky osf.io/preprints/ps...

How often do you see in an intro section the authors making a clear distinction bw causal papers they cite and observational ones? All seem to be magically causal. 🤔

"Uncovering traumatic memories" is a popular trope in psychotherapy, which has been lacking in convincing empirical evidence. This commentary also warns against preparing patients for this speculative side effect. The danger of false memories seems relevant especially in psychedelic treatments.

I just listened to this superb episode yesterday! 😊

New post on ResToRes's website : "When regulators find problems but papers stay silent" The very first RestoRes study shows that concerns raised during EMA Good Clinical Practice inspections almost never appear in the medical literature. restores.univ-rennes.fr/highlights/w...

It's so common in science that it's systemic to hide who funds you. Here Phillip Morris tobacco... These days AI companies 🫩

New paper just out with @constantvinatier.bsky.social and al. in Research Integrity and Peer Review. "Using reporting guidelines to improve the reproducibility of cooking Christmas tree meringues: the “People tasting trees” cluster-randomised controlled trial" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

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/...

Fadeout of cognitive training remains one of the more replicable findings in psychology in this preregistered study of 300 preschool children. Well-done study with a 4 year follow up. The language gains either faded or the control group caught up. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

1. Transparency is necessary for credibility 2. Transparency is hard to change 3. Require transparency* 4. Transparency is not magic 5. Journals are part of problem 6. Expect more from journals 7. Peer review is not magic 8. A crisis can look a lot like „normal“ science 9. Meta-analysis is not magic

🥂 Congratulations @fassiluisa.bsky.social for passing her viva! Luisa has been a hugely respected and influential team member. Her dedication to rigorous and careful research has been evident throughout the four years I have had the privilege of supervising her with @tamsinford.bsky.social.

I posted a video discussing some of my (critical) ideas regarding data detectives, sleuths, forensic this and that. I hope they contribute to a more nuanced conversation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LmW...

Preparing this talk gave me an opportunity to reflect on what lessons I've learned from psychology's replication crisis and credibility revolution, and what advice I would have for other fields. We've come a long way! Video: youtu.be/_vb1CNwC3CM?... Slides : osf.io/cuj62/files/...

A short preprint describing our adoption of more consistent and precise use of terminology related to reproducibility, robustness, replicability, repeatability, and credibility. osf.io/preprints/me...

1/2 New open access paper in which we apply the Nyquist-Shannon thereom from signal processing to 2 EMA datasets to figure out the optimal sampling frequency for EMA assessments. 🧪 #psychscisky #statssky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I’m late to this, but spent most of a wet Saturday reading Doctored by Charles Piller www.simonandschuster.com/books/Doctor... It’s like one of those movies where you just settle down after one disaster (cassava) and a new one appears (Lesné), over and over (Masliah and more)

I think this is an overly pessimistic take from the @bmj.com. Sharing data does not inherently increase trust, rather it enables verification which allows for trust calibration. This example is a win. Serious issues were rapidly detected that would not have been without mandatory data sharing.

Chance, Choice, and Control – Agency in Real Time www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpZS... - my talk from the ECOGS2025 conference 😊

Only seen this paper this morning but I have emphasize how much this is a fantastic work ! I had a urge to go through this paper (too quickly unfortunately) and it was…wonderfull !!! The paper is open access so few quotes from the discussion that was music to my ears !!!
