I wonder what learning outcomes would be like if we only used human intelligence activities.... guess we'll never know.

Just curious if this has been accepted and, if so, where? Or is this pre-submission? I might assign this to my grad methods class =)

Composing a decision letter and deciding on reviewer comments to be addressed/overruled is THE single most important task for which we have editors, IMO. If you get a decision from a journal with zero guidance and a laundry list of unreasonable reviewer demands, the journal editor has FAILED.

We made an open repository of close relationships measures. Our goal is to catalogue all of the published self-report measures in relationship science. You can help us expand the database by suggesting measures you tend to use in your research, or by uploading your own measures! relascale.com

I was STUNNED that this model ended up being the winner. No Big 5, or Big 3, or Big Anything. Relationships measures capture positivity, layered on top of item-specific content. That's it. It feels like we need to start developing new measures from square one.

This gets the discussion going more than any other paper I've assigned. The methods are kinda bonkers and raise a ton of ethical issues. There was also a response (and counter response) that deal with these issues and it's good for demonstrating that ethical decisions are often complex.

Recent work has shown how vulnerable online survey research is to LLMs. Motivated by this, we examined our online Posner cueing data from Prolific. It's concerning. We now must carefully consider when (or whether?) online behavioral data can be trusted. see our comment: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1) We need better measures. Common method variance accounts for many findings. 2) We have overly relied on crowd-sourced research for the last 15+ years and the quality of those data are very poor. We have a very real MTurk crisis on our hands.
