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.

✨ LUCKY COINCIDENCES ✨ Have you ever come across a surprising, accidental discovery that felt meaningful and motivated you to further engage with it?
In our new paper now out in JASP (doi.org/10.1111/jasp...), we explore such serendipitous experiences in museums and beyond. 1/5 🧵

Serendipity is the unintentional, accidental discovery of something new or surprising that feels positive and meaningful for the individual. Four studies (N1 = 1638; N2 = 279; N3 = 520; N4 = 452) exa...

Happy to share that our #bibliometric analysis of #translational psychological treatment is now published OA in the latest issue of @apajournals.bsky.social's Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice! doi.org/10.1037/cps0...

Terminological inconsistency may threaten the progress of the field!

Excited to announce that my paper with @lpummerer.bsky.social, @sonja-utz.de & @kaisassenberg.bsky.social on conspiracy beliefs is published. We examined the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and procedural justice during the peak and decay of the pandemic.

🚨 CAN ARTISTIC ACTIVISM RESOLVE THE ACTIVIST DILEMMA? 🚨 Art is often employed as creative and attention-grabbing form of protest, but can it help alleviate negative effects of disruptiveness? Our findings now out in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts (doi.org/10.1037/aca0...). 🧵1/4

Remember the old #Twitter and when you decided to migrate? How important were your peers for your decision?

In our current study, we use data from 250k researchers during the 2022 migration to #Mastodon to examine #socialinfluence within the research community.

For our soon-to-be published study on translational psychological treatment, we developed a paper identification workflow using sentence embeddings and machine learning. This may come in handy for other studies in #bibliometrics!

Do you work with text data? Then our ✨topiclabels✨ #Rstats package may come in handy.

Using open #LLM, it automatically assigns a topic label to a bag of words.

It also works with all popular #TopicModeling packages!

had a great time presenting my side-quest on #fragmentation in emerging fields of research at the ASIS&T METSTI 23 in London. the density of high quality research in the room, the engaging presentations and the great ZPID team led by @abitter.bsky.social - simply fantastic! 👻
