Our Cumulative Practice Model proposes a pathway to intentional personality change: developing social, emotional, and behavioral skills through cycles of deliberate practice and feedback, without necessarily changing basic traits. 184

tommasoferaco.bsky.social @tommasoferaco.bsky.social · 20/06/2026New preprint! Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) is a 'new' method that promises to identify what must be present for an outcome to occur. Could it work for psychogical data? Good news: NCA often finds necessary conditions. Bad news: the data-generating process contains none. 100

Rohrer @dingdingpeng.the100.ci · 21/03/2026Psychology has a whole cottage industry in which people come up with some construct that is essentially "attitudes/beliefs/expectations/feelings about X", and then the central claim is that this construct is a super important determinant of future X outcomes.> 1416837

Reposted by @tommasoferaco.bsky.socialIan Hussey @ianhussey.mmmdata.io · 09/12/2025Project Implicit gives you feedback when you complete an IAT, and the IAT literature has aspired to individual level measurement since its inception. In this article, we quantify the individual level uncertainty around these estimates and show that IAT effects can say very little about individuals. 0258
tommasoferaco.bsky.social @tommasoferaco.bsky.social · 06/12/2025When two measures reflect the same latent construct, treating them as independent predictors is a recipe for fake “incremental validity.” In the implicit-measure debate, this is probably happening: feracotommaso.github.io/posts/iatmea...feracotommaso.github.ioOn the predictive power of implicit measures of ratial attitudes 000
