But we're still finishing up coding (since everything is coded independently by 2 coders and then we're doing a consensus for each participant). We have in total around 4000 responses on the question "how did you choose your response of (number) for (emotion)?" (2/2)

That's still something we need to dig deeper, because the question is also what's a *meaningful* difference. So far, from my observation is that there are certain types of people with regard to what they base their ratings on. Sometimes they're consistent, sometimes it changes. (1/2)

Hi Alex, thanks for reaching out! Sounds cool! I have someone else that did work on using different rating scales for the same construct to look at psychometric properties and see what people liked better.
Could you email me with more info, I'm very curious :)

Omg they are not...I'll literally have different people saying they are not nervous at all, but then some rate 0, some a 2, some a 4 (scale 0-10). Also, people draw on so much different time frames for their ratings (very often not current events inform their rating but the past and future).

Is anyone going to #SAS2026 and would like to be part of a symposium on the measurement of emotions? I wanna present results from mixed methods study where we asked people to explain HOW they chose a certain number during each emotion assessment.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

NSB-vlaggen op het Malieveld. Geweld tegen de politie door extreemrechts. Onacceptabel. Dit zijn Trumpiaanse toestanden, gevoed door politici die angst en verdeeldheid zaaien.

Stil blijven is geen optie. Je moet je laten horen. Samen staan we sterker.

Dit is kolder. Ten eerste omdat dat debat voor de meeste studenten irrelevant is, ten tweede omdat veel van die andersdenkenden helemaal geen ‘debat’ willen, ze willen gewoon je podium. Ze doen alsof ze debat willen, maar hebben nul interesse in argumenten

'Nederlandse universiteiten schuwen debat met andersdenkenden'

Is er op Nederlandse universiteiten nog wel ruimte voor een open debat? "Radicale vrijheid van meningsuiting bestaat in Nederland niet."

If you're interested in emotions and looking for a PhD position, you should definitely check out Katie's position. I could hardly think of a better supervisor. Katie's work is innovative and smart, she writes extremely well and she's a wonderful human being.

Das einzige was richtig nervig ist, ist dass auf einer Seite die Farbe Gelb gesteigert wird 😂

Oh it's very relatable. I think one major point is also the sudden change that mothers deal with. One day you're working, talking science to people, thinking you know stuff, the next you're home alone with a baby and you don't know how to do it.
