Another paper in our effort to get folks to stop routinely testing interactions. This time from the angle of stability. Led by @andrew-cast.bsky.social with help from @vizecolin.bsky.social, @jdmiller.bsky.social, @davidbaranger.bsky.social, and me. Forthcoming in AMPPS.

🚀 New paper (open access) out in Cognitive Therapy & Research: we (@herzog.bsky.social, @evalottabrakemeier.bsky.social, @hudsongolino.bsky.social and me) ask whether group‑level symptom‑change networks in CBT actually capture what happens inside each patient. #Psychology #CBT

What is currently being done to ensure that shared variance (i.e., symptoms) is not constantly confused with shared etiology (i.e., causes) in dimensional models of psychopathology? Asking because I read a certain preprint.

Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳
Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology
This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.

Philipp argumentiert hier, dass wir mehr Deimplementation unwirksamer und schädlicher Methoden brauchen. Womöglich ist #SciCom nicht nur Kommunikation von Wissenschaft sondern auch Dekommunikation von Pseudowissenschaft.

This is a really important paper. Strategies for deimplementation have received too little attention in psychotherapy to date, so it's good that this has now changed!

What does it mean to be cool? 😎 A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General with nearly 6,000 participants across 12 countries found remarkable agreement: cool people are adventurous, open, and powerful.

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸

How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds
Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings
