Was great to chat to Lucy and Ellie about the things I get up to at the University of Winchester in their podcast!
As always, got to talking about effective measurement and open science practices - and how these things help us understand applied issues.

Excited to receive my copy of the new Corr and Krupić personality textbook - where I contributed to the last two chapters. Focusing on blending the philosophy of why we collect data and the practical implications (and the problematic history of this!)

#StringFigureFacts #1:
The first known literary reference to a string figure comes from Japan, from a haiku in ’Komachi Odori’ (1665):
Kazenoteno
Itodoritonaru
Yanagikana
The haiku evokes an image of a willow tree weaving a string figure (itotori, later "ayatori") in the wind. 🍃

I am delighted to share our latest piece of research:
‘A global cross-cultural analysis of string figures reveals evidence of deep transmission and innovation’.
This was long in the works and is by far the largest project I’ve led to date.

Don’t sound science enough does it?
There’s a useful insight here though -
We can make sense of a lot of weird measurement decisions and preference for abstract experiments in psych if we note how ‘sounding’ scientific has been seen as important…

100% behavioural tasks get away with a lot.
If you want to develop a questionnaire, you (are by field norms supposed to) have a strict norming and validation process.
But if make a game on a computer and call it ‘aggression’ or ‘subconscious’ behaviour, you don’t need to. 🤷♂️.

It also seems to completely absolve the researchers from interrogating psychometrics or construct validity.
Which, perhaps not surprisingly, don't hold up when they *are* examined. See: so many behavioral tasks.

Springer Nature has a new proof editor and it’s slow, buggy, and seems to be automated. You can’t add text clarifications to editing comments and it can’t read tables, it replaced all ‘-‘ signs with blanks or ‘?’.
