1 week out folks! If you're gearing up for your first meta-analysis, check out the link below.

We're about a month out, so reposting this for those looking to learn a bit about quantitative methods for meta-analysis!

At APS?

Come to our symposium "Advancing Dimensional Models of Psychopathology: Bridging Psychometric, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Perspectives on the HiTOP Framework"! (Friday at 1)

I'll be presenting working linking HiTOP to *actual behavior* assessed by smartphone sensors.

Check out our forthcoming viewpoint article in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science in which we argue that it is well past time to abandon the term 'dark' to describe antagonistic traits. w/ @jdmiller.bsky.social and @drlynam.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Here are some data from Clinical Psych Science: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

And this paper has info on papers published in "prominent" journals: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Happy to send along the data on these practices in some personality/PD journals if it would be helpful

I don't cite Jung in my entry on the DT. But I'm sure other entries in that book do cite him.

Stop asking me about SEM and go take this free workshop instead!

⏰📷 Last week to register for my Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling workshop on May 14-16!

I cover 4 of 5 types of stability/change: structural, differential, normative, and individual change in panel data (2-10ish waves)

Please RT! 🙏

Discounted rates for trainees and learners from low and middle income countries are posted on the website. Feel free to shoot me a message on here with any questions, or send me an email.

The workshop is geared towards those who haven't done a meta-analysis before, but want to get a handle on the basic quantitative methods of meta-analysis. Very much an applied workshop, and we'll work through a lot of examples with real data. 2/3

📣 It's been a minute, but wanted to hop on here to let folks know that I'll be offering the Quant Methods for Meta-analysis workshop again this year (July 7th-8th; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). Check out the link to get a feel for what we'll cover, but I also have some info below 👇 1/3

Sorry, my shorthand didn't make that clear. Neither of those haha. The target of reinforcement is quality research. Prereg can allow us to transparently evaluate research so we can be more confident about what is quality and what isn't.

We're in agreement that a prereg can be low quality and not provide much info/transparency (so not synonymous with transparency). Effective prereg can facilitate #2 because it can help us distinguish between work that is transparent/robust and work that isn't, and reward/reinforce accordingly.

Definitely, though I wonder about how rates differ by area. They took a random sample of papers. @drlynam.bsky.social and I took a look at practices in personality/PD journals and rates were pretty different. Here's a snippet:

Fwiw, I see the effective use of preregistration as being able to directly facilitate 2, 4, and 5 here. In other words, I think prereg will be pretty critical to facilitating the cultural change a lot of advocates are pushing for. So, worth promoting, and we seem to disagree about the promotion part

I think using the terminology of 'mandates' (both in David's original paper and his response article) has been a real obstacle in this broader convo about prereg. Particularly because such mandates largely don't exist, and field-wide use of prereg is actually quite low (~7% doi.org/10.1177/2515...)

Gotcha. This is for growth models specifically, but could fit the bill since they discuss the equivalence between MLM and SEM and provide lavaan code alongside lme4 code: stats.oarc.ucla.edu/r/seminars/l...

Are you looking for examples of analyses (e.g., R code) or papers comparing the two? There's some good stuff comparing MLM and SEM in relation to growth curve models if that would be helpful.

@jananmost.bsky.social put in a ton of work on this paper, and she provides some valuable data on the newly developed self-report instrument for Hi-TOP. Give it a read and let us know what you think.

Extremely excited about our new pre-print leveraging the strengths of hierarchical dimensional models of psychopathology to identify distinct behavior profiles from smartphone sensor data!

Check out @aidangcw.bsky.social 's awesome thread on our findings!
