A full week of new insights in #ESM / #EMA measurement! 📏📱
What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

A "frontier" RCT showing college students preferred LLM (ChatGPT-4) and peer feedback to teacher feedback, but teacher feedback most improved performance. I hope they analyze feedback for style. I wonder whether students positively responded to sycophancy in LLM. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data.
Go teamwork <3

Another milestone for our little team!

🎉 200 publications have now cited m-Path according to Google Scholar!

Huge thanks to everyone who uses (and mentions 😜) our #ESM / #EMA platform in their papers 🙏

👉 Check out the list: blog.m-path.io/publications

Damn, what an effort! 💪
We built the openESM database:
▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place
▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software
▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python

Cool #ESM / #EMA study by Domensino and colleagues about (changing) cognitive abilities in patients with acquired brain injury.

Assessed with mobile cognitive tests! 🧠📱

🚀 50,000+ Android downloads!

What began less than five years ago with a simple “hello world” has grown into a trusted platform supporting researchers and clinicians across the globe in capturing the richness of daily life.

We feel deeply thankful (and a little proud too). 💙

When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*?

Turns out: yes!

We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵

Velkommen, Danmark!

At m-Path Software, we’re thrilled to welcome Danish to our growing list of supported languages.

And of course, what better symbol than the 🚲, a nod to Denmark’s world-famous cycling culture and smooth, user-friendly journeys.

Intervening on a central node in a network likely does little given that its connected neighbors will "flip it back" immediately. Happy to see this position supported now.

"Change is most likely [..] if it spreads first among relatively poorly connected nodes."

Just out in JMIR - A team from Salzburg uni built and validated a full mobile stress induction toolbox entirely inside m-Path.

No external software company. No custom coding.

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

📦 A new chapter for m-Path!

We may be moving (real) offices, but one thing is certain: Our trusted coach is joining us!!

From feature brainstorms to deep dives into implementation (and a few philosophical detours 🤓)… our coach has heard it all!

🤔 Can people with dementia participate in intensive experience sampling studies via smartphone?

🧐Yes, they can! Even with high-frequency sampling schemes (8 times / day)!
