The first preprint from the SHARE study is out! 🥳 We compared the effects of three different incentives (a bulk payment, a bulk payment with personalized feedback, and payment per beep) on data quantity, data quality, and participant experiences in a student sample.

ICYMI: decision to cut 5 international bachelor psychology programs in NL poses serious threat to psych science nationally & internationally, given how much research conducted here has historically punched above its weight in terms of per-capita output. eiko-fried.com/nl-psycholog...

Cutting international bachelor programs threatens psychological science » Eiko Fried

Dutch universities decided to throw international bachelor programs under the bus to appease the government. This is a terrible idea.

Can we use features of dynamic networks (e.g. centrality) to improve treatment selection and outcome prediction? New preprint on the topic: We highlight the role of uncertainty & introduce a Bayesian multilevel approach for uncertainty quantification of network features 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Image with three main boxes with recommendations for applied researchers on conceptualization, estimation, and interpretation when using network features.
Conceptualization:
- Discuss why a network feature should be relevant for a given treatment or outcome
- Consider plausible effect size and sample size needed to detect an association with a distal outcome

Estimation:
- Carefully choose preprocessing and network estimation methods
- Follow good practices for predictive models (e.g., cross-validation, out-of-sample validation)

Interpretation:
- Consider uncertainty in node selection and network feature regression
- Compare network features with simpler time series features (e.g., person-specific mean or SD)

New paper alert. And the first paper for our PhD-student Klazien 🥳🎈 Not open access but final author version available from osf.io/uwjb2 (and #ihazpdf). In psychological test norming, nonrepresentativeness can lead to biased estimates. 1/4

The first preprint from my PhD is out: osf.io/preprints/ps...! 🥳 We explored the temporal dynamics of four careless responding indicators (response time, within-beep standard deviation, an inconsistency index, occasion-person correlation) in ESM data across different samples. Thread below🧵

Are psychometric networks sufficiently supported by data such that one can be confident when interpreting its results? We analysed 294 psychometric networks from 126 papers with the Bayesian approach to address this question @jmbh.bsky.social Sara Ruth van Holst @maartenmarsman.bsky.social 🧵

🚨Preprint alert! 🚨 In this one, @mieronen.bsky.social and I argue that using network psychometrics, DAGs or BNs to study predictions of the network theory of psychopathology (NT) is conceptually incoherent. Why? NT either directly contradicts or cannot support causal sufficiency! 1/11

Excited to share that my first PhD paper got published! We explored the effects of correctly vs. failing to model true interactions in data. Can model misspecification lead to reversed conclusions? Which model generalizes better to a larger sample? Read the article here: doi.org/10.3758/s134...

New preprint from our team. We reflect on the usage of VAR-based person-specific temporal networks with a key question: do we have sufficiently long time-series to estimate a VAR model without overfitting the data? Say no to models that "find meanings in random patterns". osf.io/preprints/os...

With all the new people on here (hi!), a delayed summary of our paper on Bayesian estimation and comparison of n=1 gVAR/network models, recently published in PsychMethods: How can we understand whether differences in these popular, but highly parameterized models reflect more than just noise? 🧵
