How you measured the AUD symptom could have a dramatic impact on the psychometrics, both in terms of difficulties (e.g. what severity endorsing the item reflected) and discrimination (how strongly endorsement was related to the daily AUD construct).
This gif shows (pink) these differences.

NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks

Now taking into account age *in isolation* is no problem at all. We can simply do that by comparing people of the same age across survey years. The resulting pictures matches what I've broadly found in the literature (loneliness has increased among young people, but not among old people).>

New paper in @acamh.bsky.social's JCPP! We found that early adversity doesn't affect positive emotions uniformly-- youth follow 4 distinct developmental trajectories. & This heterogeneity matters for understanding depression/anxiety risk.

And that’s a problem from a measurement perspective because if you ask people mostly about behaviours that rarely happen, the scores on the scales end up being really low, and psychometrically uninformative!

And if you do try to understand methods more deeply, you might hear that “you’re in the weeds,” “leave that to the statisticians” etc. I feel like I’m often trying to convince folks that we need to care about basic methods because it matters for substantive inferences we applied people want to make.
I don't understand how you can read and understand an evolving literature without keeping up with methodological developments.
What are we supposed to do, just read discussion sections and take people's word for it?
