Relationship science, open and reproducible science. Western University, Psychology (social, personality, methods/stats).

Our paper is now out: Trust in Close Relationships Revisited. All the buzzwords: bifactor modelling, invariance testing, construct, and a few others. Joking aside, @omarjcamanto.bsky.social is a very skilled and careful data wrangler/analyst while also able to relate theory and data. 👇
Just watched a person in her 60s (at least) get kicked out of an arena by the refs for yelling at young kids in the penalty box (hockey, yes I am in Canada). The walk of shame—won’t start game until she leaves. Totally normal stuff ;)

When asked "here is what I did with my research and how I approached it and some tweaks along the way, how should I communicate this in a paper?" my typical response is: "Say what you just said to me in your paper and/or letter to editor".

Political discussions right now are giving me the "Psychology Facebook discussion group" vibes from way back (ISCON, "methods" ones). Would be equally funny if not for all of the destructive consequences of current political decisions. Focusing more on my aggressive southern neighbour in this post.

Revision posted! An evolutionary model of identity signaling with nested/overlapping/intersectional identities, complex multidimensional signaling capabilities, and a primer on ancient Mesopotamia. What more could you ask for?

Submitted an manuscript today and one window asked for X (or Twitter) handles to promote the work when appropriate. It was not required which was nice. Not all that long ago I would have filled that in, now...

Holy shit.

Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs.

The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds.

What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.
Ronald Reagan narrates a new anti-tariff ad from Canada
The new commercial is part of a $75 million ad campaign by Ontario aimed at Republican voters.

Is science getting too competitive?

Grant applications are skyrocketing and funding rates are decreasing.

Yet the article in Nature fails to mention the potential role that AI/LLMs in driving up grant applications.

It's becoming a lottery.

Fantastic Thanksgiving weekend weather where I am. The Leafs are back in action tonight, and the Jays open their series against Seattle tomorrow (they won their first World Series title the night of my high school graduation!). Massive turkey dry brining. I may fuse with my couch this weekend.

We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

New ad for an open rank position in Psychology at Cornell. That Human Bonding course seems very popular! May be a good fit for a relationship scientist out there. Below is a snippet of the job ad.

Does anyone remember "The Ontario Symposium" series? The 1st one was hosted at my Uni (U of Western Ontario) in 1978 (book pub'd in 1981). Originally put together by Tory Higgins (Western at the time), Mark Zanna (Waterloo), and Peter Herman (U Toronto). Jim Olson took over from Higgins at Western.
