Huge congratulations to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social Senior Demy at Magdalen, who has been honoured with an Early Career Excellent Teacher Award from the University of Oxford’s Medical Sciences Division. www.magd.ox.ac.uk/news/dr-omid...

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data. Go teamwork <3

Honoured to receive the Teaching Excellence Award at University of Oxford after my 1st year with the university The real credit goes to the students: teaching such talented minds is a privilege 📸 Thanks to my lovely colleague, Kate Nation @ox.ac.uk @oxexppsy.bsky.social @magdalenoxford.bsky.social

It's been a great first year at Oxford EDGE Lab, and a privilege to work with this wonderful group of students and visiting researchers. Our first two students to complete their degrees have both graduated with distinctions: congratulations @mikaeladizon.bsky.social & @olenakhailenko.bsky.social! 🎉

Huge congrats to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social on winning the prestigious Outstanding Doctoral Thesis of the Year by the Norwegian Psychological Association. Read more: www.magd.ox.ac.uk/news/dr-ebra...

I'm beyond words honoured to receive the Doctoral Thesis of the Year Award by the Norwegian Psychological Association! Deeply grateful to my supervisors and the wonderful colleagues I've had the privilege of working with. Interview about findings and a 🧵: www.psykologforeningen.no/aktuelt/pand...

An exceptionally lovely day in Oxford and Magdalen college, visiting the brilliant @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social

Now published in JCPP Advances! 📜 acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... With @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social and Sarah Bauermeister

New paper! 📜 In nearly 50,000 individuals randomly sampled from the general population, we apply a symptom-specific perspective to examine which anxiety and depressive symptoms are most strongly associated with various aspects of financial adversity doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

How Accurate & Consistent are Self-Report responses via Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) in Ecological Momentary Assessment & Digital Studies? Examined in a massive EMA study (N = 3,761), our new #OpenAccess piece on this is just out: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky 🧵:

Revisiting some classics as I prep my first iteration of the "Empirically Supported Treatments" course. H/t to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social for reminding me of this banger from Gordon Paul from almost 60 years ago

Very interesting paper! Uses huge multinational samples including in the UK, the UK biobank, as well as cutting edge analyses,- Gamms,- and a brilliant (continuous) measure of urbanity-rurality to look at location differences in mental health. Finds a nuanced and very useful picture!

Asking whether living in cities affects mental health is too simplistic. In 500,000 adults, we find no universal urbanicity–mental disorder link. Cities worldwide include very different living conditions & characteristics. We need to identify which aspects of urban life harm or protect well-being

I am recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join my lab at Dartmouth. The ideal candidate will have experience in EMA, passive physiological data, and/or digital therapeutics. Interest and/or experience in chronic pain and co-occurring disorders is preferred. apply.interfolio.com/169836

❗New preprint 🔎 Using novel network analysis methodology, we explored the change dynamics of CBT for social anxiety. 📢 Finding that synchrony of change between specific maintaining factors and the sequence in which they change alignes with theoretical CBT models. osf.io/preprints/osf/nw7vr_v1

So excited to be visiting @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social and the wonderful people at Oxford EDGE lab for the next 6 months! This is going to be fun! @ox.ac.uk

📜 Our new paper assessing Fit Measures for Confirmatory Network Models is now out in Psychological Methods: Most conventional SEM cut-offs (e.g. for RMSEA) generalise well to confirmatory network modelling. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

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...

A great opportunity for fresh air and cross fertilization #netsci2025

I'm excited to share a new preprint with @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom! We discuss the striking (implicit) assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology, which is misaligned with complex dynamical systems. More here: osf.io/preprints/os...

Very excited to speak at the Network Science Conference in Maastricht this week about the utility of psychometric networks in the precision diagnostics field. Come to our session on Friday at 2pm & check out the program for the many great talks at the conference @netsciconf.bsky.social #NetSci2025

Our new paper in Depression and Anxiety contrast the impact of theory-driven transdiagnostic mechanisms on anxiety symptoms. With @sachaepskamp.bsky.social, @noraskjerdingstad.bsky.social, @renefreichel.bsky.social and Skyless colleagues. 🧵 1/3 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/...

Picturesque Sunday at Magdalen College @magdalenoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Had a great time giving a talk in Cambridge and exploring the city. Thanks for hosting me, Trinity College! @cambridgeuni.bsky.social

Great study about differential social media use among adolescents with internalising & externalising disorders compared to those without mental health conditions. Led by @fassiluisa.bsky.social with @amandaferg.bsky.social, @shuhbillskee.bsky.social, @tamsinford.bsky.social & @orbenamy.bsky.social

Excited to give a talk at University of Cambridge's Psychiatry Department about precision diagnostics and profiles of depression, this Thursday at 12:30 BST. The talk is hybrid, so feel free to DM me for a link if you wish to attend.

Very excited to have obtained my DClinPsy degree in the UK Process could've been smoother & less time-intensive, but overall happy it's done Working as a clinician is a key part of my identity. Look forward to staying more closely in touch with clinical practice, which is essential for my research

Not the worst place to review a manuscript. #UniversityOfOxford @ox.ac.uk @magdalenoxford.bsky.social

Our paper on vaccine hesitancy is now published in BMC Medicine! Very thankful to Omid and other colleagues for an inspiring collaboration!

A really nice demonstration of transparent reporting for mixed methods ⬇️

Wondering about #OpenScience Practices for #Qualitative Research? In our new paper, we showcase the use of audit trails to transparently document the full qualitative analysis procedure Equivalent to sharing code in quantitative research. Check it out bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Very cool mixed-method study looking at why individuals are reluctant to get vaccinated (A health sciences prof once said to me 'There's no point running a trial unless you get some qual data from patients too' and I think this applies to so much psych research. Quant + qual together is great!)

Very proud to see the result of this great collaboration with Omid and others out in BMC Medicine!

Excited to share our BMC Medicine article on Modifiable Risk Factors of Vaccine Hesitancy With 2 independent teams of authors blind to each others procedures, we combine gradient boosting machines & thematic analysis, & replicate results in 2 nations 🧵 bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

This kind of detailed rigorous methodological work is exactly what we need for ecological momentary assessment research. Well done.

Really nice work on some self-report measurement basics. h/t @kevinmking.bsky.social

Again impressive work by @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social & many great co-authors ! 😂 & ❤️ when I saw the preprint file title: InVASweTrust_2025.pdf 👏👏👏

This is a great study! Very helpful to know. And reassuring that neutral is still neutral - I feared that had skewed higher over time with the social norm of providing high customer service ratings to communicate no issues rather than exceptional service.

Super important #measurement stuff in #ESM/#EMA research! Well done team! 👏
