Loved this episode with @syeducation.bsky.social. Great reflections on why we need to care about rigor in science by acknowledging ideology

@chelseaparlett.bsky.social I'm shocked partial pooling didn't make it into the meme

This is my weekend reading now. Look forward to it, thanks for sharing

I find that academics, and people more generally, use culture as a metaphor when they experience something a couple of times

There are many issues with articles, but one of the biggest is when they are seen as credible after being peer-reviewed.

Thank you! Appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions

3️⃣ we also find that the relationship at the individual-level is mediated by participation practices, policies, and procedures. I.e., the ability to influence their work, tasks, and decision-making

2️⃣ we find that the relationship between clan culture (i.e., values of support and trust) and work engagement (i.e., absorption, dedication and vigor) is direct at the unit-level. In simpler terms: higher shared values of support and trust in police units is associated with higher work engagement

1️⃣ we propose and test a homologous unit- and individual-level model of the relationship between clan culture and work engagement in a sample of 909 police employees from 101 different units

I just uploaded the latest version of the preprint: «Organizing for Engagement: A Multilevel Examination of the Relationship Between Clan Culture and Work Engagement». Genuinely curious and interested in any feedback on this paper!

📣 Seeking Panelists for #AOM2025!

👋🏻 Calling all #IOPsych / #WellBeing colleagues! I'm organizing a panel for the AOM conference in Copenhagen, DK (July 25-29), discussing the limitations of 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 as the "ultimate criterion" and Tay et al.'s (2023) position to expand it to include 𝙒𝙀𝙇𝙇-𝘽𝙀𝙄𝙉𝙂.

Very interesting and accessible take on probability worth a read!

In this new article in American Psychologist we respond to critics in detail and clarify two key points for the field;

(1) The prevalence of misinformation in society is substantial when properly defined.

(2) Misinformation causally impacts attitudes and behaviors.

One of the really important problems we need to deal with sooner rather than later

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Great advice I wish I knew in the beginning of my PhD👇

Sixth, in this article (just published!), I provide an accessible overview of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, showing how they combine to form 7 common research paradigms. I also explore the methodological and ethical implications of these paradigms.

A chart in three parts showing data on child mortality to make the points that "The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time."

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

Do you need educational and psychological item response data to do your research? The IRW has 600 item response datasets (more coming!), distributed in a standardized format and ready for analysis.

Population connectivity shapes the distribution and complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture Although cumulative culture is a hallmark of hominin evolution, its origins can be traced back to our common ancestor with chimpanzees. Here, we investigated the evolutionary origins of chimpanzee cum...

#ICYM we recently took part in a cool @science.org #paper about population connectivity and #cumulativeculture in chimpanzee! Congratulations to the authors including our postdoc @ceciliapad.bsky.social!

What if the same energy that drives your passion for work could also lead to burnout?

I’m thrilled to share that me and @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social explore this paradox in our latest study published in Stress and Health.
