Can you use off the shelf generative LLMs (eg ChatGPT, Claude) to assess personality from brief bits of unconstrained, open-ended text? If so, how well do they do? Turns out you can, and they do amazingly well. I couldn't believe how well. Here's our pre-print on it and a 🧵

🧵 Psychology practice & training in the U.S. is at an inflection point. The APA is developing guidelines on the scope of practice for master’s-level practitioners—and what training for these roles should look like. #Psychology #MentalHealth 1

Well, until I saw this picture of you, @andrewathan.bsky.social , I thought it was only my strange mind. But now I am convinced, that I found a portrait of you when I was hunting for #Graffiti in #Krakow Admittedly, you usually don't look as grumpy 😅 #SPRKrakow2025

I missed @herzog.bsky.social talk but luckily it was recorded - schema therapy and DBT were equally good at reducing costs from illness from severe borderline PD. #SPRKrakow2025

A lot of good things at #SPRKrakow2025 this morning, but here is the excellent doctoral student Janne Låver presenting her recently published paper on how therapists’ outcome expectations are formed!

In a week's time we will be getting under way with preconference workshops at @sprofficial.bsky.social! Find the programme here: spr.mymeetingsavvy.net/program#glance Thinking about getting into randomised studies of psychotherapeutic interventions? 👇 #Hybrid #RCT #PsychotherapyResearch #ECRs
Conference abstract for a workshop:

A primer for planning randomised studies of psychotherapeutic interventions
Jan R. Boehnke
Pre-conference workshop at the 56th International Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychotherapy Research

Studies involving randomisation are an integral part of strategies for the evaluation of (causal) effects of therapeutic strategies and interventions. This workshop will present the key elements and practical steps for planning, developing, conducting, and reporting randomised studies of psychological interventions. The core logic and statistical arguments for an experimental study of a psychological intervention will be briefly revisited to clarify when an experimental study (and which type of such a study) is indicated. The main part of the workshop will focus on how to plan, design, and report such a study, including formal requirements to conduct a high quality study (e.g., trial registrations, ethical requirements). We will discuss the use of international guidelines as well as how and when to prepare protocols, statistical analysis plans, and/or registered reports. The workshop is built around the experience from multiple published trials by the presenter and is planned for Q&A phases to tailor the content to the audience. The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with the tools to assess published randomised studies of psycho-social interventions and the steps and resources needed to develop their own study.

Q: If a student's project does not find support for their hypotheses, how should they present it at a conference, given that all would be null findings? Any tips on what they should focus on to generate useful discussions/feedback? Repost appreciated!
