1/n Out today in @jamapsychiatry.com: Interpretation Issues With the Patient Health Questionnaire Instructions. We find troubling variability in whether people think they should respond based on the frequency of the Sx or the frequency of being bothered by the Sx.

Check out two new preprints from the lab!
First, led by @leilyb.bsky.social: when people rate a 6/10 on suicidal urge severity, what does that mean? And is it the same across people and across time? We use LLMs to examine the content & consistency of suicidal thoughts, in two longitudinal samples.

New preprint alert🚨
We often rely on 0-10 scales to assess suicide urges in EMA and clinical settings. But we rarely ask a surprisingly important question:
What do these numbers mean?
In our new paper, we examine what these ratings mean and how consistently people use them.

New preprint alert! (1/5)🌟
I’m thrilled to share the preprint of my first first-authored PhD paper! We test whether shared reinforcement functions help explain why adolescents who engage in one self-destructive behavior often engage in others.

Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology
This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.
