🔥 New viewpoint paper accepted at Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science!
I propose a behavioral conceptualization of personality functioning (PF) that reframes the construct in terms of learned self-related repertoires rather than inferred inner structures.

In our rejoinder, we argue 1) Dark terminology isn't used responsibly as BL et al. claim, 2) the term can be replaced with a more sensible and scientific one, 3) data support our position (Stanton et al., 2025), and 4) popularity ≠ importance. @davidchester.bsky.social @drlynam.bsky.social

We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵

Re-upping for the weekday crowd-

Choosing between syndrome/diagnosis vs. symptom focused mental health research is a false dichotomy

New paper arguing how we can, and should, consider how risk/resilience/treatment factors can be uniquely + simultaneously associated with both levels of specificity

Sometimes when I talk to intervention scientists about #measurement #psychometrics I get the argument “even if this questionnaire has bad psychometrics, everyone else in my field uses it and I want to be able to compare my results with theirs”. Let’s talk about how that is a misunderstanding 🧵
