Proudly presenting the (for now) final version of "Why experiments work." To share the materials in a slightly more professional manner, I added a "Resources" page to my website: juliarohrer.com/resources/.

That was long overdue anyway; now there's also a curated list of my papers and blog posts.

Looking forward to giving yet another talk at the Cognition Academy at the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences. This is a bit of an ambitious one: causal graphs, longitudinal data, natural experiments.

In critiques of research you often hear about "samples of convenience" as being a major limitation.

I've been thinking that for longitudinal research we need to introduce the terms "designs (i.e.timescales) of convenience" and "models of convenience" because they can be just as problematic.

Just a reminder for anyone who receives SPSS, Stata, or SAS files but does not have licenses for these programs (🙋), you can import any of these files into #rstats and work them! My favorite package for working with these files is {haven}.

Very interesting ongoing discussion if you are in to psychopathology.

An obs for many who are commenting about specific constructs…HiTOP has rules about evidence. If a construct can’t be reliable differentiated based on our measures, then it won’t separate out in the model.

Miri Forbes @miriforbes.bsky.social · Jan 8

Can you help me build a list of things that are (or might be) wrong in the current HiTOP model while I'm sick and recovering on the couch? Some of my top hunches are:

-My PhD was wrong (☹️) and low sexual function shouldn’t be neatly nested under internalizing

The current official HiTOP model - a hierarchy of dimensional psychopathology constructs ranging in breadth from superspectra at the top down to individual signs, symptoms, and maladaptive behaviours at the bottom (as well as a list of disorders and related constructs that are linked to the subfactors and spectra)

Not every study needs to have a power analysis, but every study needs a sample size justification. I discuss 6 approaches, and 6 ways to think about which effect sizes are of interest in the study you are planning.
