In 2018 I gave a presentation on research data management to a group of graduate students. Not surprisingly, most of the problems and solutions I discussed 7 years ago, are still the same problems and solutions I see today. #databs

Don't Let Your Likert Scales Grow Up To Be Visual Analog Scales: Understanding the Relationship Between Number of Response Categories and Measurement Error
The use of Visual Analog Scales (VAS), which can be broadly conceptualized as items where the response scale is 0-100, has surged recently due to the convenience of digital assessments. However, there...

My favorite journal going Open Access is not something I had on my 2025 list! Fantastic news!
I am so proud of the Psychometric Society having the courage to transition Psychometrika to Open Access. Practically all APCs are covered by TAs (see bit.ly/3NiAy6T) and for authors not covered will be waived! Support open science for everybody, send your best work to Psychometrika at bit.ly/4eXTvYp

Whole thread has great points, but this particular bit captures it: AI tools simplify (frankly, to an astonishing degree) the fiddly bits of coding, e.g. writing tests, data kludging, etc. but unless you know what you want it to do, and can evaluate it on your own, it’s not magic.
As Leslie Lamport says, "programming ≠ coding." Even if we aren't writing Python code, we still need to decompose the problem and understand it well enough to specify it in our prompts to the AI system so that it can solve it correctly.

This is going to be like that time that they trained an algorithm to read MRIs and look for tumors, and they got excited by the 99% accuracy, before realizing that all the training images had an arrow pointing to the tumor.
