If only I had listened to the lady who had it, rather than concentrate on taking a picture, then I could verify!

But they are all between participant optimized to the extent they are at all optimized. Perhaps you're revealing that between participant optimization doesn't always translate to within person change?

Yeah, sorry, what I was trying to say is that the GDS is clearly worse as a between subjects measure, except for screening (which is what it was designed for). The others shouldn't be so different in between participant psychometrics, or at least CESD shouldn't be that much better than others...

Really useful work!

The GDS isn't great as a between participants measure, but it's not obvious to me that the others should be much different judged that way... Do you think this may be in part a "optimizing for between participants doesn't optimize for within participants" issue in part?

Our new paper "Inconsistent outcome measurement in depression psychotherapy trials: A systematic historical and meta-analytic review over the past 50 years" led by @antoniasprenger.bsky.social is out now in JAD.

We find evidence that not all depression scales respond to treatments equally, meaning that meta-analytic estimates including multiple scales need to be interpreted cautiously (the CES-D appears to be doing exceptionally well, for instance)

True! The difference being: I wasn't alive when TOS happened, so that one doesn't make me feel old like the DW comparison does. 🙃😱💀

At some point in the last decade, looking at that first season started to look more like the last McCoy season somehow, despite it seeming like a completely different form of television back in 2005...

Looking forward to annual "complain about review requests before the holidays instead of just emailing back and saying you'll need extra time for obvious reasons that the editor will of course understand" season

Little bundles of causal factors

I keep trying to see how anyone could think this was a good idea if they spent some time imagining what the consequences would be for faculty and students... And I don't get it. We even already have a system in place for getting (draft) syllabi to interested registered students not in the class yet!

This move puts me and all my colleagues at risk of doxxing and threatening disruptions in the workplace. Please sign and share.

A while ago I watched a perfectly entertaining Mandalorian ep & wondered "did real fans like that as much as I did?" I went to the reddit & was like "oh, that's what DW fans are like vs. people who just enjoy an ep here and there." They were so not impressed, obsessed with things I had no idea about

Or is it a sheep?

Oh no, our DVD of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas has disc rot, boo 😒

My daughter has requested we watch Hot Frosty instead, including me, she says it's very important to her that I watch it

Psychology folks! I'm trying to identify broad principles of Psychology that describe phenomena in multiple subdisciplines.

For example "Psychological phenomena have physiological correlates" or "Information processing is optimized for the training data."

Would be delighted for suggestions!

I've been thinking about how the "this tech is so great" focus for a while was "it just works" and "it automagically does X" and now the focus is "look how much it produces, don't worry about it being kind of broken"

Congrats Eiko!

I have never heard of these folks before, but am very glad to learn of the stage name Judith Holofernes and a band named in part from Bowie's Heroes/Helden. This Gen X guy approves.

Legal purge in Norway after World War II - Wikipedia

Norway's response might also be interesting (although I've read more about their resistance than the aftermath)

This is super... Is there a way to add scales that aren't yet in the database? (E.g., one of mine [from a while ago] isn't in there 😅)

My nephew Felix is playing Taboo and it's his turn: "It's a ball of meat. Don't overthink it."

(The answer was meatball and he was immediately buzzed with the buzzer.)

Twin Peaks vibes

As a USA person you might expect me to have no context for High Wycombe, but I have exactly one piece of context, which is that the singer Howard Jones first started performing there...

Missing Heritability Revisited Following up on Sasha

Blog post: A Missing Heritability Update. Three legs and other problems. I follow up on the recent excellent post on the subject by @sashagusevposts.bsky.social. ericturkheimer.substack.com/p/missing-he...

I thought I was used to the south living in NC, but I'm staying in a hotel in New Orleans and there are a bunch of young people here "for their formal" and they keep having polite conversations with me (like, because we're in an elevator for 30 seconds together) and calling me "sir."

As someone who recommends rejection a lot, I can say that of the many papers I have recommended be rejected, the number I actually suspected of misconduct is vanishingly small. Misleading headline!

Thanks for the review!

@ent3c.bsky.social is this your read on the situation also?

ABCT fun run 2026! In. . . Baltimore? 2027 is back here again, and I've scoped out a good route. :)
