Rose is excellent -- high competence, high warmth. You'd won't find a better advisor!

Bluesky folks! Popping in here for a hot minute, I'm trying to look for this particular blog post before (by Thomas? Tom?) it used to be posted on twitter.
Basically the main claim is: X is X because target population Y said so (I think his example here was the concept of a game). Ring any bells?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if SESP does individual talks? Or do they only have symposia?

New paper out in JPSP with @erichehman.bsky.social! We asked: What is the framework underlying our impressions of environments? Our large bottom-up study shows that people pay attention to 4 factors. We’re calling it the Environment Impressions Model: doi.org/10.1037/pspa...

Found a really nice Dutch grant for turning our WARN-D pipeline that forecasts depression onset for young adults into an actionable system for people at risk. Grant requires a Dutch tech partner, preferably with an existing app that can be adapted to ours needs. Any interest? Please get in touch.

What Is Your Estimand? Defining the Target Quantity Connects Statistical Evidence to Theory - Ian Lundberg, Rebecca Johnson, Brandon M. Stewart, 2021 We make only one point in this article. Every quantitative study must be able to answer the question: what is your estimand? The estimand is the target quantity...

Do I know any USC (University of Southern California) staff, faculty, or students? I have a special library request that requires a current affiliation. Thank you ~

I think it's a more general problem after the recent updates. If I open an OSF page, half of the time it does not load and instead sends me to the OSF starting page. After I try often enough it will eventually load the right page, but it is very frustrating.

The Report of Stereotype Threat's Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated And why I'm feeling a certain way about it

Today Dominic Packer & @jayvanbavel.bsky.social republished @minzlicht.bsky.social's post about "The Downfall of Stereotype Threat" in their widely-read The Power Of Us newsletter. I felt a certain way about that & the evidence presented there & thought I'd respond:

New by @maxprimbs.bsky.social et al.

4-panel cartoon of 2 people and a dog: Panel 1: Person in green shirt looks apprehensively at the dog and asks the person in blue shirt "Does your dog bite?" Panel 2: Person in blue shirt replies "No, but it can hurt you in other ways." Panel 3: in an apparent demonstration of how the dog can hurt you without biting, the dog says to the green shirted person: "Just because you can draw a DAG does not mean that the relationships depicted are causal." Panel 4: the green shirted person is crying while the blue shirted person and dog look on.

hey @pwgtennant.bsky.social - thanks for your delightful talk at BU today on "Have DAGs Fulfilled their Promise in Epidemiology and Health Research?"

I spend 1/2 my time asking people to peer review more, & other 1/2 complaining that filthy rich publishers should pay for our labour

These aren't incompatible complaints

Scientists DO need to review more (especially if publishing) Publishers DO need to pay reviewers

One approach to the age-period-cohort problem: Just don’t. Just to cause yourself more problems, you seek for something. But there is no need for you to seek anything. You have plenty, and you have just enough problems. Shunryū Suzuki in a 1971 talk A ...

New blog post about the age-period-cohort identification problem!

In which, for the first time ever, I ask "What's the mechanism?" and also suggest that sometimes you may actually *not* be interested in causal inference.
