Yes but it’s particularly true for partial correlations etc.

I caught that too. And I wondered if it was bc the sweater has a complicated and visually appealing pattern, that, although nice to look at doesn’t add much to what it’s supposed to do.

Ha. Thanks!

Yet, I question the authors' characterization of "psychometric networks" as "increasingly popular." Thankfully, these models have become much less popular indecent years as people have gotten the message they are methodological dead ends. But they ares still too popular. So, happy to see this.

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017.

Just noticed the classroom I teach in has this

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo

We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback

Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

Excellent detailed intro paper on open scholarship in clinical psychology by some of my favourite authors on the topic, including @drlynam.bsky.social @dsbarra.bsky.social @jnfrltackett.bsky.social @aidangcw.bsky.social @jdmiller.bsky.social and others. Perfect paper to turn into an intro lecture!

Pretty excited about this one. In this paper, we discuss the replication/credibility crisis, the factors that contribute to it, and clinical psychology's slow (really slow) progress in dealing with it. We offer a competency-based fraemwork for improving our training of future scholars.

Spotted in Ann Arbor

Apropos of nothing, remember that polygraphs (i.e., lie detector tests) are so unreliable as to be inadmissible as evidence in federal court.

Honored to present my finished master’s thesis in a symposium at #SRP2025 this weekend with Jessica Hamilton, Jasmine Mote, Renata Botello, and Dan Fulford!

Congrats!

I will confidently assert that smash style burgers are really the only kind of

In n out regional, we don’t got it. But I went to 5 guys the other week super excited, hadn’t been in years, but felt the meat quality was noticeably poorer than shake shack. Maybe it was a one off, but definitely had that thought.

I forgot you’re an Arby’s guy

If only there was a dashboard to dial in these evals

Apropos of nothing, if I was an overpriced chain burger chain, I’d make my soda cheap…on par or cheaper than McDonalds or something like that…so people would then think, “these burgers must be so expensive bc they’re awesome,” not, “I can’t believe how overpriced this place is”

But I don’t care what you think, it really is the best overpriced chain burger joint

That’s not possible. But that’s also not the point, we’d need to know more.

Yeah, so I’ve had this thought about online reviews and teaching before, but what prompted it tonight was I saw my local shake shack got a 3.5 review, and I thought, this is impossible, I don’t know if the reference group people are using is other shakeshacks or all restaurants
