Super cool new study by @kvanbogart.bsky.social looking into differences between chronic and acute loneliness!
Chronic loneliness harms health, but what differentiates chronic from acute experiences of loneliness? My newest publication dives into the subtle differences of loneliness in daily life. Read more: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Take a look at our new pre print for different approach on how to calculate the dynamic range of diurnal cortisol, led by the talented @kvanbogart.bsky.social
New preprint!

Interested in examining HPA axis regulation or allostatic load? We present three approaches to computing the dynamic range of diurnal cortisol — with advantages, limitations, and examples with R code for each approach.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Check out this new one from JAMA Pediatrics that I did the analyses for

We used Synthetic Control Method to evaluate the effectiveness of a coordinated county-level child sexual abuse prevention intervention program
Rates of Population-Level Child Sexual Abuse After a Community-Wide Preventive Intervention
This study tests whether a coordinated, community-wide preventive intervention could significantly reduce population-level incidence rates of child sexual abuse.

EMA/Daily Diary researchers!

Do you have a dataset with momentary or daily loneliness among adults 18+? @kvanbogart.bsky.social is seeking datasets to support a coordinated data analysis

Email Karina.vanbogart@northwestern.edu with a brief description of your dataset to be considered! #psychscisky

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

New paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... This was a study I helped with that highlights a little known issue in child maltreatment research. Contamination bias can impact findings when children recruited for the non-maltreated control are or become maltreated during the course of the study
