Any recommendations for a (recent-ish) workflow or tutorial for mixed-effects modelling of experience sampling data in R? Looking for something to hand to my master's student.
This week in Social/Developmental was about generational differences, or as I referred to it:
“ @bwroberts.bsky.social and friends keep bludgeoning the zombie horse that won’t die”
We shan’t speak of it
and had it been a real event (it’s not…that I know of…) its fabricated consequence would have just been protecting a good project from my potential interference!
Certain I was #866 on the invite list if not for my conference faux pas in 2014
@#$@@# self-reflection. We've been self-reflecting since 2010 in psychology to no avail. Just directly replicate the damn study.
Feelings integers
I think I was rejected from 10*/12 places. I was apprehensive about the one I got into, but it changed my life in ways I couldn’t have foreseen (almost all good!)

The Big 5 test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology.
Any psychologist will tell you, the Meyers-Briggs is mostly bullshit.

🔥 New viewpoint paper accepted at Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science!
I propose a behavioral conceptualization of personality functioning (PF) that reframes the construct in terms of learned self-related repertoires rather than inferred inner structures.
"Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' itself is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas ... It is our task to demystify and to challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research and in our engagement with society."

I refer to this invited piece for @psychmag.bsky.social as my #Talking2Strangers manifesto. I wrote about why many of us are reluctant to talk to strangers & what the benefits are (inc. making the world a better place).
