Google Scholar wrapped and it just the same paper I download all the time because it has 5 references I keep forgetting

I’m very allergic to the phrase “we know that” in science communication, especially when it extrapolates from limited evidence. Findings don’t equal facts.

Yes.

And I like the comment about not imagining. Representations are not needed here anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bei psychologischen Interventionen geht man immer davon aus, dass sie schon sicher sein werden, bis man vom Gegenteil überzeugt ist. Und bis man vom Gegenteil überzeugt ist, braucht es ganz schön laute Stimmen von Betroffenen, die Schaden genommen haben.

Sehr große Stichprobe ubd interessante Ergebnisse: Einstellung gegenüber traumafokussierter PT ist besser bei Approbierten, vA mit Zusatz-Qualifikation und hohem case load, negativer bei Fachkunde AP/TP.

Junge Menschen unter Stress zu setzen, um sie zu trainieren, mit Stress besser umzugehen, ist eine populäre Idee und Praxis, bewirkt aber das Gegenteil. Wer möchte, dass junge Menschen unter Stress besser re/agieren können, stärkt sie als Personen, z.B. durch viele Erfahrungen der Selbstwirksamkeit.

Bin ganz umgezogen und poste nur hier. X fehlt mir nicht, das Twitter von früher ein bisschen.

Guten Morgen.
Heute ist der Tag der seelischen Gesundheit.

Dass wir so einen Tag überhaupt brauchen liegt daran, dass psychische Erkrankungen weiterhin von vielen nicht ernst genommen und Betroffene stigmatisiert werden.
Der Zugang zu Behandlung wird künstlich verknappt.
Das muss sich ändern.

Hello! Assistant Prof @ Rutgers, clinical psychologist, trauma and substance use research, NIDA K23 award, very green to this blue app 😅 #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #WomeninSTEM

Completely agree 😊

There’s a difference between description and explanation, yes.

One of the big take aways from the Twitter exodus to eg Mastodon 🙋last year after the Musk 🐦 takeover was that it is not enough to set up camp / create an account somewhere else.

We need posts, interactions, engagement.

Curious to see what the 🔵☁️ community will be…

Hello Blue Skies! My first Official Post. I am an associate prof in #ClinPsych & Experimental Psychopathology, Groningen, NL. Hugely interested in memory & emotion/trauma. Also: #MetaSci, reproducibility, Open Science - Looking for a community to learn more about doing reponsible #Sci :)

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I'm an assistant professor at the University of Toledo. I study how to make effective psychological treatments accessible and relevant to the individual in context, using digital interventions and idiographic methods. I nerd out on processes of change. #PsychSciSky #ClinPsych

One of the biggest changes I have noticed since leaving academia is believing that my time and ideas are valuable and that I deserve to be paid for them. This is obvious, but after years of being paid pennies, while working nights and weekends to use the skills I learned in my PhD, it feels radical.

We will need a critical mass of academics here for this website to be a viable academic Twitter alternative. That will only happen if people with big accounts come over, commit to being here, bring their followers, and we keep distributing codes. If Twitter is a viable alternative, people will stay.

Does anyone know studies that compare rates of change in CBT vs. PDT, ie investigate whether symptoms change faster in one compared to the other (ok, let's be honest: decline faster in CBT than PDT)? @tkaiser.bsky.social @nilsftoepfer.bsky.social @ehrenthal-lab.bsky.social #psychscisky

Hi bluesky! I’m a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD student at the University of Hong Kong. Broadly interested in psychiatric nosology, digital phenotyping, and fear-related decision making. #Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Thank you also to @mgallen.bsky.social and @pkpd-babe.bsky.social for getting me here :)

Sadly yes. It's the same problem we see with replication markets and other similar initiatives. Starting out with a motto of "we need more replications" rather than "we need better science" tends to have such consequences. Proceduralization itself is turning into a massive & hard problem to tackle.

Hello world! I've finally broken down and decided to make an account here in addition to my Twitter! A quick introduction:

I'm Zack Williams, an autistic autism researcher and self-advocate currently pursuing my MD/PhD (Psychiatry + Neuroscience/Hearing&Speech) at Vanderbilt.

Autism, Human Connection and the ‘Double Empathy’ Problem Despite stereotypes, many autistic people yearn for meaningful relationships, but they are daunted by neurotypicals’ assumptions about them
