Kinder sind in Deutschland so wichtig, dass man sie in der Pandemie erst vergessen hat und danach dann Jugendhilfe und Psychotherapie kürzt. Danke für Nichts.

519 Patient:innen in 4 Flugzeugen - eine sehr spannende Erfahrung, die nun auch publiziert wurde. Fazit: One Session Treatment als Gruppentherapie wirkt! karger.com/pps/article-...

I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

If you are working with multilevel data, try out my new package mlstats 📦 — an #rstats package for multilevel analyses. You can create publication-ready descriptive tables like the one below (including within- AND between-group correlations + ICCs). github.com/felixdidi/ml... Details in thread 🧵↓

Das bringt mich zu einem aktuellen berufspolitischen Thema: Erst vor wenigen Tagen hat der Erweiterte Bewertungsausschuss eine Kürzung der Honorare von ambulanten Psychotherapeut*innen (PTs) um 4,5% beschlossen. Das ist in meinen Augen absolut inakzeptabel. Ich will Euch sagen warum: (1/8)

Das ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller Psychotherapeut*innen, die Menschen in großer Not helfen, was dem Gesundheitssystem langfristig bares Geld spart. Vertrauen ist ein hohes Gut, das nicht so schnell wiederkommt, auch nicht, wenn die Kassen wieder wieder voller sind. www.dptv.de/aktuelles/me...

🚨New pre-print🚨 osf.io/preprints/ps... What if the relationship between smartphone use and mental health depends not just on specific harmful or beneficial activities, but also on how users transition between activities?

Check out this new commentary on the importance of enhancing the visibility of eating disorders research (especially neurobiology) by @cmakowski.bsky.social!!

Dieser ganze Diskurs ist mittlerweile so dermaßen entgleist. Wie wäre es, wenn wir darüber reden, was die Zukunft und Gegenwart von Kindern und Jugendlichen real bedroht: Klimakatastrophe, Armut, fehlende Ressourcen im Bildungssystem, Superreiche und die fehlende Regulierung von Techkonzernen.

Menschen als "wertlose Biomasse" zu bezeichnen ist Peak sozialdarwinistische Ideologie. Faschistoider geht es eigentlich kaum, weder in der Tonalität noch in der Essenz der Aussage.

Aus gegebenem Anlass. Ergänzend: in der Psychotherapie versuchen wir oft, gemeinsam mit den Patient*innen diese Selbstwertkonzepte zu hinterfragen. Wo kommen sie her, wann/wofür waren sie vielleicht nützlich, welche Probleme machen sie heute. Das ist ein unglaublich anstrengender Prozess, … 1/

Heute vor 60 Jahren starb Camilo Torres (36), kolumbianischer Priester und Befreiungstheologe (mit Studium in Löwen). Das Kind reicher Eltern schloss sich 10/1965 der Guerilla an und wurde bei einem Gefecht, das als sein erster Einsatz für die ELN gilt, erschossen. Sehr interessante Gestalt.

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on our NIH-funded R01 which is a longitudinal cohort of adolescents (13-20) doing EMA and passive text sensing! Please apply, especially if you have experience in the analysis OR collection of these data. PLEASE SHARE!! indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32132

Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) does have an effect on overall symptoms of BPD. But individuals with BPD often suffer from interpersonal difficulties and these can severely affect daily functioning.

New paper on planned missingness. Recently been liking the approach of planned missingness in a survey -> FIML to estimate constructs. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

This is a disheartening finding to my profession. We need better allocation/matching, yet I assume that such a finding will be actively misinterpreted by policy makers to further restrict access (no need to maintain current # of licenses) & to reduce reimbursement (they only treat worried well).

Thrilled to announce the Oxford Psychological Networks Summer School (OxPNS)! This is the first-ever psychological network analysis workshop in the UK, to be held in magical Oxford from June 22-26, 2026. To apply and for more information, please visit: oxfordpns.com A brief thread 🧵

First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

New preprint! My first time using #virtualreality: we investigate how scene context / being in a (virtual) environment affects action representations. Together with @leonkroczek.bsky.social, Michael Roidl, and Angelika Lingnau @uniregensburg.bsky.social Read here: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

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...

We just preprinted a huge meta-meta-analysis examining the effects of exercise on cognition, memory, and executive function In short - 2239 effect sizes - extreme between-study heterogeneity - extensive publication bias - some subgroup/exercise-specific effects More below (doi.org/10.31234/osf...)

🚀 New paper (open access) out in Cognitive Therapy & Research: we (@herzog.bsky.social, @evalottabrakemeier.bsky.social, @hudsongolino.bsky.social and me) ask whether group‑level symptom‑change networks in CBT actually capture what happens inside each patient. #Psychology #CBT

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳

1: In 2023, I wrote this paper arguing that research on active ingredients of CBT, and by extension on their mechanisms, is not close to improving therapy outcomes. I just read a paper on inhibitory learning improving outcomes of exposure. Egg on my face? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In einem der meistgehörten Podcasts Deutschlands ist eine „Traumaexpertin“ zu Gast. Ich dachte: cool, da wird eine wissenschaftlich ausgebildete und kompetente Therapeutin mal richtig Klartext reden. Nope: weder approbiert noch Wissenschaft. Arbeitet nach Heilpraktikergesetz.

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017. 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

Managing emotions is not easy - we often get by with a little help. In the NEW Social Interaction and Emotion Lab at Rutgers-Newark, we’ll study how social interactions regulate emotion using experiments, naturalistic data, and multi-modal approaches. ✨ Now recruiting! ✨🙌 Learn more: raziasahi.com

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...
