Delving Into the Psychology of Machines: Exploring the Structure of Self-Regulated Learning via LLM-Generated Survey Responses Large language models (LLMs) offer the potential to simulate human-like responses and behaviors, creating new opportunities for psychological science.…

New paper: In the context of self-regulated learning, if LLMs reliably simulated survey responses, they could be used to test interventions, refine theoretical models, & augment sparse datasets; but the psychometric validity of the responses depends on the LLM. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I found this book very liberating: www.goodreads.com/book/show/40...

When my daughter was 3 weeks old I called a lactation consultant just asking when would be the best time to pump cause I wanted to sleep that night. But I was more shamed and given tips for how to breastfeed more efficiently. (2/2)

Same... Only got through it cause I had a good social support system including other moms who've been through similar things. But that period is a big blur now...
And yes, it's infuriating, especially cause you're so fragile that you feel so guilty. (1/2)

I developed so severe insomnia during my postpartum that at one point I was getting psychotic-like symptoms seeing only black, demonic eyes in people. Just couldn't look people in the eyes cause they scared me too much.

Sleep deprivation is the absolute worst thing in the world. Especially when it gets coupled with the anxiety that you need to get up anyway in 1 hour again to feed the baby and then it develops into some kind of perverted insomnia where you think you MUST sleep now, which obviously doesn't work.

New preprint!

Does data quality drop when participants respond to #EMA / #ESM surveys in the presence of others?

We explored this in a pooled analysis of 4 ESM studies and found (subtle) shifts in burden & response behavior depending on participants’ social context:

How Accurate & Consistent are Self-Report responses via Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) in Ecological Momentary Assessment & Digital Studies?

Examined in a massive EMA study (N = 3,761), our new #OpenAccess piece on this is just out:

Na klar! Gibt viele Studien die zeigen data quality of life nicht wirklich abnimmt nach einer Krankheit. Ist aber weil wir was anderen drunter verstehen. Andere Dinge werden wichtig.

Nur weil ein Fragebogen hoch mit einem anderen Fragebogen korreliert der auch das Konstrukt misst, heißt das noch nicht dass das ein valider Fragebogen ist.

Und Unterschiede in der subjektiven Interpretation von Konstrukten! Meine Idee von physischer Aktivität ist sicher anders als die meiner 85-jährigen Oma (2 km Wandern ist da schon mega sportlich)

Academia is basically a collection of people who got lucky early on and mistook it for genius. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

That would be super fun ☺️☺️

Sounds really nice. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Oh another one (classic) Why is it that girls develop more internalizing and boys more externalizing behavior?

Or very wild thing I've come across: how some people apparently use ChatGPT as a therapist which is not very handy since it always Agrees with you.

Over diagnosis can be a broad topic I think :). ADHD in adults is a recent thing that has come up more. Maybe it's because it's recognized better or because our society asks more. ADHD in women (that symptoms are different). Also the impact of mental health awareness (see work by Lucy Foulkes).

Experienced, bothered by, or both: People differ in how they understand the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) items: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/jcsq8_v1

Omg love that!!

At my preconference workshop @ic2s2.bsky.social participants will conduct a *fully reproducible* and *FAIR theory based* simulation study.
The full interactive tutorial is in the theorytools R-package docs: cjvanlissa.github.io/theorytools/...
And slides: cjvanlissa.github.io/worcshop/ic2...

In the Netherlands, you get to choose one at your PhD defense. It's played when you walk out once you're awarded the PhD. Mine was "don't stop me now" by Queen. 100% recommend.

I am recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join my lab at Dartmouth. The ideal candidate will have experience in EMA, passive physiological data, and/or digital therapeutics. Interest and/or experience in chronic pain and co-occurring disorders is preferred. apply.interfolio.com/169836

The construction of emotional meaning in language Communications Psychology - Emotional meaning should be studied through language. Language may capture emotional meaning by identifying the concerns that are put in focus within a given situation,...

How can language be used to study, in detail and high dimension, the processes by which people understand and experience their emotions? We have some proposals: rdcu.be/eu6ZR

This 100% 🙏

It's the old tale of misogyny where women's pain and health don't matter.
