Psychology needs better theories. Sure. But how do we build such theories? And what actually makes a good theory? Together with Alexander Wendt, I have edited a collected volume, "Theory and Model Building in Psychology," which tries to answer some of these questions. doi.org/10.1007/978-...

Using (multilevel) VAR models? Ever checked how well they actually fit your data? @jmbh.bsky.social & I created VARcheck, an R package for visual model checking for VAR models. Blogpost with workflow: bsiepe.github.io/blog/2026-05... 📝Paper: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 💻Docs: bsiepe.github.io/VARcheck/
The image shows two plots. On the left-hand side, you can see a plot showing empirical & predicted time series in the plot, and a distribution of empirical values on the right-hand side. The R² of the model is 0.28, and the RMSE is 1.28. 
On the right side, we see a plot of residuals over time as well as their marginal distribution, again on the ride side of the plot. We also see that the autoregressive coefficient of the residuals is 0.16.
