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.

The kids these days are usually first of all "the kids " (age effects), maybe also a bit "these days" (period effects) but rarely ever "the kids these days" (cohort effects)

It's finally here! I gave a TED talk in April in Vancouver, and it was released online today. You can watch it here: ted.com/talks/saloni... I've also adapted it into an article, which was published last week: worksinprogress.co/issue/future...

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.

Ian Hussey (@ianhussey.mmmdata.io) contacted me about the recurring problem of unusually large SMD values appearing in published meta-analyses. Very large SMDs can result from using SEs in place of SDs in their calculation, which is a mistake I have also seen in practice. 1/4

If you're ever in Munich you should try out the Verrückte Eismacher. They change their menu every day, but they always have some savory options like Weißwurst, Hefeweizen (yes, the beer), or Caprese. They are way tastier than they should be.

@matschlin.bsky.social made a very helpful slide deck for me to understand what counts as kuchen versus torte, and I’m literally going through every slide saying “WHAT?!” at my laptop screen WHAT??! How is a donut a pancake

Pfannkuchen means a thin pancake in West Germany but a filled donut without a hole in East Germany

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

I get irrationally angry when people utilize hierarchical APC models in big longitudinal datasets and then report that +++BREAKING NEWS+++ contrary to all expectations cohort effects have turned out to be negligible!

When the model that regularly estimates arbitrary zero cohort effects estimated a zero cohort effect: Surprised pikachu face

I have great news everybody thequirkydino.com

Jetzt schon Gedanken machen musst - erstmal schauen, obs dir Spß macht und wie well-behaved dein Chat so ist! :)

Achso, eine Tatsache habe ich nicht ausgesprochen, die vielleicht nicht intuitiv ist: Die meisten Streammods werden bei kleineren und unregelmäßigeren Streams nicht bezahlt (und finden das auch okay, sie würden die Streams ja ohnehin gucken). Bezahlung ist also nicht das Thema, über das du dir

Falls du mehr oder konkretere Fragen hast, schreib mir gerne eine DM.

Bots eigenen sich vor allem für 2 Sachen: Automoderation (keywords, gespammte Nachrichten etc löschen) und ständig wiederkehrende Fragen beantworten – "Wann spielst du Anno 1800?" "Warum redest du ständig über Faschismus?". So etwas kann nach dem 10. Mal im selben Stream nervig werden. :)

tragen können und wollen. Meiner Erfahrung nach funktioniert dieses Modell sehr gut - diese Leute können, selbst wenn sie Fehler oder Blödsinn machen, keinen wirklichen Schaden anrichten, deswegen muss da am Anfang nicht zu sehr zerdacht werden, wer erstmal Mod rechte bekommt.

eigentlich von den wenigsten Streams. I.d.R. sind kleine Streams die nicht 4+ Mal pro Woche stattfinden von Modteams moderiert, die aus der Community erwachsen sind - sprich Leute, die du aus dem Streamchat oder von Bluesky kennst, die eh gerne deine Streams gucken und die ein bisschen Verantwortung
