Our scoping review on social media and mental health is out 💡
We reviewed 30 studies to see how individual user characteristics (like personality, age) may influence that relationship.

Now officially out with nice formatting and all 🥳 "Thinking clearly about age, period, and cohort effects" -- a gentle introduction to the age-period-cohort problem and how to "solve" it through various types of assumptions.

📄 New paper out!
In a 7-day diary study, we looked at how different types of 📱 and Instagram use may affect mental health, and how these effects might depend on neuroticism and extraversion.

New blog post! Three reasons why (some) idiographic studies in psych leave me unimpressed: (1) failure to establish that there's meaningful variation, (2) imprecise estimates at the individual level, (3) the usual estimand confusion (is it causal? yes/no/maybe a bit?).
