After that I obviously had to cool down my system, so I forgot to take pictures🧊It was a great and very entertaining evening and super fascinating to get to know what’s going on behind all those office doors at the uni!🚪big shout out to the Open Science Office @uni-konstanz.de for organizing this!

After that, it was my turn in stage - if you wonder how it went I recommend to zoom in on my heart rate that is depicted on the iPad in the second picture🫀I was asked whether this was a live recording - yes. I’m very excited before and during talks…

Fourth take away: some things in the academic world are utterly wrong! 💸

Third take away: advertisement with visuals is older than er think 🌷🌸🌻🐝🐝

Second take away: there is a research cycle and a research death cycle 💀

First take away: Shrews shrink during winter-and this includes their 🧠 without any costs for their performance in a maze!

I also can’t access it today

All good 👐🏻

Sehr spannendes Thema diese Woche auf @realscientists.de 👇🏻

Although I know how to change the font in RStudio, there is just a limited amount of fonts available and I don’t think there is an option to install new ones - do I overlook anything?

For teaching purposes, I changed my font size in RStudio as well as my cursor to both being pretty huge. I’m done teaching but I think of keeping both… should I see my optician 🧐

Animal crossing!

I’m teaching an #RBootcamp this weekend, an intro to R for beginners. Love that the Fachschaft in Konstanz shared some fab #RStats stickers with us, but I will hopefully work against the message, which reads “I can't do/take it anymore.”

Publication alert 🔥

Our manuscript "Differential effects of childhood maltreatment types and timing on psychopathology in formerly out-of-home placed young adults" has now been published #OpenAccess in #EuropeanPsychiatry

Transparent and comprehensive statistical reporting is critical for ensuring the credibility, reproducibility, and interpretability of psychological research. This paper offers a structured set of guidelines for reporting statistical analyses in quantitative psychology, emphasizing clarity at both the planning and results stages. Drawing on established recommendations and emerging best practices, we outline key decisions related to hypothesis formulation, sample size justification, preregistration, outlier and missing data handling, statistical model specification, and the interpretation of inferential outcomes. We address considerations across frequentist and Bayesian frameworks and fixed as well as sequential research designs, including guidance on effect size reporting, equivalence testing, and the appropriate treatment of null results. To facilitate implementation of these recommendations, we provide the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology (TSRP) Checklist that researchers can use to systematically evaluate and improve their statistical reporting practices (https://osf.io/t2zpq/). In addition, we provide a curated list of freely available tools, packages, and functions that researchers can use to implement transparent reporting practices in their own analyses to bridge the gap between theory and practice. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, we provide a side-by-side comparison of insufficient versus best-practice reporting using a hypothetical cognitive psychology study. By adopting transparent reporting standards, researchers can improve the robustness of individual studies and facilitate cumulative scientific progress through more reliable meta-analyses and research syntheses.

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

This manuscript had a long journey before finding a home, and I am very happy about where it ended up. 🏡 Huge shout out to all co-authors, especially David Bürgin who was most supportive and always optimistic throughout the process. 👏

Complementing the prevention of transdiagnostic risk factors, such as CM, the promotion of accessible and suitable interventions for vulnerable populations might counteract some maltreatment-associated risks, especially if type- and timing-specific CM reports are acknowledged.

Our results showcase how complex CM trajectories of institutionalised individuals are and that diverse maltreatment experiences may derive from various sources, e.g. parents (e.g., before or during the placement, if they are still in contact) and peers (e.g. during the placement).

Regarding externalizing problems, CM severity, parental abuse in early childhood, and effects of peer violence in mid- to-late adolescence were most important, with minor effects of sexual abuse in late adolescence. Most effects were replicated using data from clinical interviews.

Using conditional random forest regressions, CM severity and multiplicity were the most important predictors of internalizing problems, followed by peer victimisation in mid-to-late adolescence, with minor effects of early parental and late ado- lescent sexual abuse.

Our sample of formerly out-of-home placed young adults is characterised by high prevalence of neglect, persisting throughout childhood and adolescence, despite being placed out of home at 11 years of age on average. Rates of abuse and peer violence were increasing with time, peaking in adolescence.

Full House in der Ringvorlesung Psychotherapie @uni-konstanz.de

Heute zu ADHS mit Peter Kirsch (@cherrydoc.bsky.social) und Nina Haible-Baer 🧠

Thanks Tahnée! It will, but would have been easier with a co-worker on it (PhD) - we’ll see.
