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...

Interested in models used to estimate lagged effects in panel data? We (@rebiweidmann.bsky.social, Hyewon Yang) have a new paper looking at patterns of stability and their implications for bias and model choice: osf.io/preprints/ps... [1/x]

If you're looking for a good quarto extension to do APA-style documents, this one does it! Seems to have everything papaja had for Rmarkdown and more. Really useful and easy to implement (including great export to docx): wjschne.github.io/apaquarto/

The problems w/ two-wave cross-lagged models are becoming widely known. Some proposed a "triangulation method" (2nd screenshot) to identify spurious effects in such designs

We show that this test doesn't work in plausible situations. It shouldn't be used.

Me, trying to rerun analyses from a years-old paper for a request from a meta-analyist

Collabra: Psychology is looking for new associate editors for the Social Psychology section. If you're interested, please apply! rug.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

My first Skeet! Happy to announce that our paper on life events and life satisfaction is now published at the European Journal of Personality (w/ @dingdingpeng.the100.ci, @richlucas.bsky.social, and @drichter77.bsky.social)! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... (preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... ).

Research suggested a response styles bias in people's repeated self-reports (e.g. daily diary studies, EMA). We tested this and found evidence against a broad bias. Open access: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
with @richlucas.bsky.social, Elise Kalokerinos, Noelle Rensing, and Iris Schneider.

This was a fun paper for a few reasons. First, like most of the projects involving replication or reanalysis, this arose out of a lab meeting with our undergrad research assistants. They were interested in the topic, we discussed strengths and weaknesses. We reanalyzed and attempted to replicate

Newish paper with @dingdingpeng.bsky.social on reciprocal links between personality and religion: psyarxiv.com/zt9mg/ Reanalysis of this paper: dx.doi.org/10.1111/jopy... Some fun issues with 1) post-publication critique 2) writing reproducible code & 3) cross-lagged panel model /1

Dear researchers in clinical psychology: Please give me more work!

Today, my friend and colleague Debby Kashy passed away. We shared an office suite for almost twenty years, so I saw her almost every day since the beginning of my career. She will be missed. /1

With the start of the semester, it's a good time for a reminder that it's perfectly fine (and maybe even better) to say "syllabuses" instead of "syllabi"

If you're at all skeptical that the person in this role can have an impact, I can tell you as an APA editor that many of the policies that previous chairs have advocated for have been implemented. Please apply!

Kind of fun to see how coverage of the streets of my hometown has expanded during my runs over the years. Plotted in #rstats of course

The MSU Psych Dept is hiring in our Behavioral Neuroscience and Clinical Science areas. Please apply!

I'm not involved with the search, but I'm happy to answer questions about living in East Lansing
