Agreed! I had to find notes of a meeting that happened 18 months ago for HR. Pulled out my last few notebooks and was horrified to realize that they are all dated month/day. No years anywhere!

In this situational example, I would want to identify behaviors existing at the intersection of the targeted constructs. And I’d want to do some more work to better understand if metaperceptions are the best approach to capture these. (2/2)

Agreed! And those high in either construct might be reluctant to disagree. Margolis (2022) has an interesting example asking Christians if they were “evangelical or born-again Christian”. (1/3)

But I also want to question that assertion! If trying to measure calmness or kindness, it is problematic. But what if you want to capture the co-occurrence of calmness and kindness and don’t care why someone isn’t both?

Thanks for sharing. Excited to review it.

Love this! Sounds like an exciting semester.
