We are inviting applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in a collaborative meta-science project on the effectiveness of data and code sharing policies in research-performing organizations. www.tue.nl/en/working-a...
Moral psychology flourishes because of our variation in moral values both within and across cultures. I'm happy to see that our registered report protocol for developing and validating the MFQ-2 in German populations is out now! Next up: Data collection and analysis ⚖️ 💻
Since April 1st, 2024, cannabis is legal in Germany – no April fool's joke! In our new publication (with @doomed-generation.bsky.social & @kaisassenberg.bsky.social), we ask: What are antecedents of recreational cannabis consumption? 🧵

New preprint available: Transparency and open data are important. In contrast to Elson et al. (2026) doi.org/10.31234/osf..., who have called for non-anonymized data in metascience, we argue for a more nuanced approach to prevent unjustified harm for authors of original work

How strong is the threat to academic freedom? If you are a publishing psychologist, please help us get a better understanding of the threats due to external pressure and self-censorship in the publication process by taking our 5-10 min anonymous survey: t1p.de/t1qof
Results will be shared here!
Our lab has the capacity to test ~500 uni students each semester
If you’re a researcher in cognitive psychology or metascience and need data collection support, we’d love to collaborate. We can help collect high-quality data from a large student sample.
Get in touch to discuss potential projects!
Dear colleagues - we want to better understand perceptions of data fraud and its detection and need your support! Are you currently a #researcher in #psych (or related fields) working with #data? Perfect - please respond to & share this short study (7min): sosci.rlp.net/detection/?r... Thank you!! 🫶
MAP MIT DEM ZPID IN DER GRUPPE DER GERMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS
Thank you, @theo.io!
We found ourself on your formidable bluesky-map.theo.io into the Group of German research Institutions - that's it!
#zpid #research #psychology
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
Psychological translation differs from biomedicine, requiring frameworks tailored to psychological science!
This, and other insights from the first extensive review of #Translational #PsychotherapyResearch, can be found in Petrule et al. 👇👇👇

This first comprehensive mapping of #translational psychological treatment reveals:
🔬 Extinction learning, emotion regulation, & inhibitory learning are most translated
🐢 Preference for simpler mechanisms (methodological) and terminological inconsistencies (conceptual) impede progress
What does the path from basic psychological science to clinical treatment actually look like?
We mapped 50 years of research in our new paper in Clinical Psychology Review with @abitter.bsky.social , Viktoria Ritter, @rief01.bsky.social , & Anke Haberkamp.

New paper alert: @claudiaaraya.bsky.social and I published a failed (conceptual and exact) replication of one of the studies I published with Florian Landkammer 10 years ago doi.org/10.1037/xge0... on the impact of conflicting demands on cognitive flexibility 1/4

Happy to share our analysis of 117,250 open peer review reports (SN) with 140,884 unpublished (anonymized) reports (Elsevier) of medical journals. Open peer review reports are longer, and contain more suggestions and solution sentences. doi.org/10.1016/j.jo...

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students.
I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Thanks to @abitter.bsky.social for pointing me towards this super nice tool: anisota.net/harvest. Just search any user name.
Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +
This story is indeed a picture book example of "Being kind ánd critical - it is possible - and precisely what Open Science is all about!" (@silkegoubin.bsky.social)
It’s been a pleasure presenting our recent work on neural biomarkers of morality at #ICANDay2025. Hopefully, shifting from brain maps to neural models will help us to develop a more precise and reliable moral neuroscience.
🚨 SynthNet is out 🚨
Researchers propose new constructs and measures faster than anyone can track. We (@anniria.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci) built a search engine to check what already exists and help identify redundancies; indexing 74,000 scales from ~31,500 instruments in APA PsycTests. 🧵1/3
Our survey on research practices in Computational Communication Science is still open for participation!

Researchers are often advised to "reveal the person behind the science" in #scicomm to appear more approachable and trustworthy to their audiences. But does this really work? 🤔 In this short piece for Current Opinion in Psych, I review the recent literature... 👇 1/3
