Pleased to share my new publication on the multimodal turn in the framing paradigm. This systematic review of visual framing studies (1979–2023) is now published in the Annals of ICA.

The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives. We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.

Our immediate plan includes the following interventions, which aim to preserve your right as scholars to freely present your work and collaborate with your peers: As always, we have made standard invitation letters for visa purposes available via the submission website: you can find your letter attached to your profile in ScholarOne (the submission system). As of 19 February, we have done a new run of all letters without the title of the paper(s) mentioned; papers are identified by submission ID number so that your research topics are not mentioned. You may find these new letters in your profile as well.

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

A Review of Some of the History of Factorial Invariance and Differential Item Functioning The concept of factorial invariance has evolved since it originated in the 1930s as a criterion for the usefulness of the multiple factor model; it has become a form of analysis supporting the vali...

This article gives a phenomenal overview of the history and evolution of best practices in measurement invariance and differential item functioning -- I can't remember the last time I learned so much reading a single paper, highly recommended!

This reduces the chances of the model misspecification of the moderation effect, which can happen when relying strongly on inappropriate theoretical assumptions (such as misusing a cubic polynomial curve to fit what should be a bounded S-shaped age development effect). (4 / 4)

What's special about this approach in this tutorial is that it shows the first fit of the most flexible nonparametric nonlinear model exploratively. Then confirm if a hypothesized model (e.g., quadratic) sufficiently describes the data by comparing it to the flexible model. (3 / 4)

LSEM is a flexible, nonparametric method for analyzing nonlinear moderation effects in SEM without needing to categorize variables (such as age groups) or assume a specific form of a nonlinear function. (2 / 4)

Modelling nonlinear moderation effects with local structural equation modelling (LSEM): A non‐technical introduction Understanding the differential strength of effects in the presence of a third variable, known as a moderation effect, is a common research goal in many psychological and behavioural science fields. I...

I'm not great at promoting work on social media, but I wanted to share a tutorial I wrote on Local Structural Equation Modeling (LSEM). Hope be helpful for those interested in exploring moderation effects (including measurement invariance) in SEM. (1 / 4) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
