"honesty, insofar as I have a public voice, about the ways in which the profession I practice is being asked to absorb and individually manage forms of suffering that are, in part, collective in origin and that deserve collective responses"

Graph showing the proportion of clinical psychology studies that adopted four transparent research practices (preregistration and sharing of measurement instruments, data, and analysis scripts) at three time points (2012, 2018, 2024). The graph suggests adoption of these practices has increased but remains uncommon.

Graph showing the proportion of clinical psychology studies that adopted three transparent research practices (reporting guidelines and disclosure of conflicts of interest and funding) at three time points (2012, 2018, 2024). The graph suggests use of reporting guidelines has increased but remains uncommon. Conflict of interest disclosure statements have increased and are now quite common. Funding disclosure statements were relatively common across the three time points.

Has transparency improved in clinical psychology? New cross sectional study from us (Bianca Kotoulas, Justine Blackwell & me). Adoption of transparent research practices has increased between 2012, 2018, & 2024, but aside from coi and funding disclosures, they remain uncommon osf.io/preprints/ps...

"Pooling data across many trials could also help answer questions about studies’ operational characteristics: How does remote monitoring compare with on-site testing? Which trial sites reliably deliver high-quality data? Which eligibility criteria slow down recruitment?"

well luckily I love to systematically gain knowledge of pertinent characters

this might be the thing that gets me to watch star trek

behold, we found great variation in how people think! Many activities that we thought would be “gaming” weren't & vice versa, eg half of the participants interpreted ‘gambling’ to be ‘gaming’. Ergo: surveying ‘gaming’ without defining it creates data mess

The New World asked me to speak to some British trans women about what life has been like for them over the past few years - here's what they had to say, in their own words: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

Seven Symptoms Over Nearly 4,000 Days: Item-Level Variability in the Psychometric Properties of Daily Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms in Young Adult Drinkers - Kevin M. King, Dahyeon Kang, Megan E. Schu... People experience symptoms of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in their daily lives, including more impairment-based symptoms (e.g., hazardous use, interpersonal pro...

I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data.

Systematic reviews often guide policy and theory, but they can become quickly outdated. Almost 10% of systematic reviews are out of date even *before they are published*.

Living systematic reviews (LSRs) continuously integrate new evidence, therefore they offer a solution to this problem.

Gonna need the general public + journos to properly reckon with how much of the social/legal policing of space is done purely on vibes. Invoking a 'common sense' approach to who deserves to be in a space, only serves to reinforce who is thought of as the 'common' body and who is seen as aberrant.
