Keeping SynthNet up to date is super important, and adding missing scales is definitely part of the plan. We’re currently building a data-donation platform, so researchers can contribute their own measures. It’s a top priority:)

Solution: Survey items are text, so we use natural language processing to approximate empirical overlap between scales. SynthNet is powered by SurveyBot3000, a sentence transformer we developed to predict correlations from item wording alone. Scale-level accuracy against empirical data: r=.84. 🧵3/3

Problem: The measurement ecosystem in behavioral science is disorganized. Inconsistent labeling leads to jingle-jangle fallacies. Proving redundancy empirically requires pairwise comparisons. With hundreds of thousands of items, that means trillions of responses. Not feasible! 🧵2/3
