Since all agree this site is for promotion of work we find valuable inc own, here's a paper I'm esp proud to have my name on (as a third author, after my heroes Lisa Wijsen n Denny Borsboom). We uncover the values the science of psychometrics encodes journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... 1/n

Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.

Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳

If you're a psychological scientist working at a Dutch university & want to join us in opposing the language barriers imposed by the government, here's your chance

This plan is naïve, unjust, and misguided. To manage numbers of international students, quota are a proper tool; language barriers are foolish and unnecessary

#supportdutchpsychology #againstlanguagebarriers

Universities in Tilburg, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Leiden would force their psychology departments to teach exclusively in Dutch - against their will. This measure is taken to restrict the inflow of international students into The Netherlands.

The Universities of the Netherlands (UNL) have presented a “self-regulation plan” to the Dutch Minister of Education. In essence, this plan means that the Boards of Directors of Dutch universities will abolish international Bachelor’s programs in psychology.

Thanks for your support Brian!

Against Language Barriers: A Call to Protect International Education in Dutch Academia

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology

With this superb set of speakers, IMPS 2025 promises to become a conference full of highlights and intellectual stimulation, and we hope to see many of you on the beautiful campus of UMN, located on the banks of the Mississippi in the vibrant city of Minneapolis!

In addition Dissertation Award winner Mark Himmelstein (psychology.gatech.edu/people/mark-...), Early Career Award winner Maria Bolsinova (www.tilburguniversity.edu/staff/m-a-bo...), and Lifetime Achievement Award winner Shizuhiko Nishisato.

IMPS 2025 features presentations by Eran Tal www.mcgill.ca/philosophy/e...) Jessica Flake (psych.ubc.ca/profile/jess...), Hongyun Liu (aic-fe.bnu.edu.cn/en/research/...), Aleksandar Tomašević (atomasevic.com), Matthew Madison (matthewmadison.com), and Nidhi Kohli (edpsych.umn.edu/nidhi-kohli).

Steve Marron and Carolyn Anderson will honor us with keynotes. Steve Marron is a leading expert on modeling high-dimensional data marron.web.unc.edu. Carolyn Anderson is one of the earlier pioneers in network modeling: psychology.illinois.edu/directory/pr....

IMPS has developed into a bristling multidisciplinary conference. Next to traditional psychometric models, it features AI, philosophy of science, high dimensional data analysis, network psychometrics, dynamical systems, time series analysis, and conceptual issues in measurement.

Five more days to submit an abstract for the International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS) in Minnesota: www.psychometricsociety.org/imps-2025 You can submit an abstract here: imps2025.exordo.com
