Psychological Science special issue call 📣 Ever had your research denigrated bc it's "only descriptive", "what's the mechanism though?" and "but what are the theoretical implications?" Now has come your time to shine. Send your best descriptive work! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Psychological Science invites submissions that advance psychological science through careful description of psychological phenomena. Psychological research often focuses on explaining and predicting phenomena before we have a sufficiently detailed understanding of them. It can be difficult to build strong theories on incomplete empirical foundations of the phenomena themselves. Careful descriptive research helps establish shared empirical reference points developed around well-characterized phenomena. As such, descriptive research contributes to psychological science both by improving our understanding of the phenomena themselves and by providing a stronger foundation for future theory-building, explanation, and prediction.

We are interested in manuscripts that:

Deepen our understanding of psychological phenomena, including what they look like, how they vary, and how they unfold;
Draw on a variety of sources of evidence and methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches; research conducted in naturalistic settings; intensive, longitudinal, or small-sample designs; and open or large-scale datasets;
Provide necessary context for interpreting what is being described, including who is represented in the data, the settings and circumstances in which phenomena occur, and the broader social contexts in which they are situated; and/or
Make a substantive contribution to psychological science through the quality, depth, or significance of the description provided.
The deadline for submitting regular manuscripts is April 15, 2027. Registered Reports will also be considered. The deadline for submitting Stage 1 Registered Reports is November 15, 2026. Authors should indicate in the “Comments to Editor” box during submission that the manuscript is intended for the “Descriptive Research in Psychological Science” special issue.

I read Project Hail Mary today! The two biggest insights: 1) It was my first science fiction book in a loooong time, but I should get back into them - they're great! 2) Reading the book made me appreciate the movie even more in hindsight. It's a really really solid adaption 8/10, nice light read.

Book cover of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It shows an astronaut floating in space. The background hints at a big, strange, yellow planet.

Friendly Reminder that the idea that fluid intelligence declines from early adulthood on is mostly based on cross-sectional comparisons (which are heavily influenced by the flynn effect). Some authors argue that real changes start only in the 60s. This debate is still far from settled imho

PSA: Don’t trust anyone who tells you that you can identify age or period or cohort effects simply by applying the right statistical model to the right type of data. This is fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the age-period-cohort problem!>

Arrested Development meme.

People have suggested empirically solving the APC problem just by applying the right model to the right data

Well did it work for those people

Not, it never does, I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...

...but it might work for us.
