New blog post! Three reasons why (some) idiographic studies in psych leave me unimpressed: (1) failure to establish that there's meaningful variation, (2) imprecise estimates at the individual level, (3) the usual estimand confusion (is it causal? yes/no/maybe a bit?). www.the100.ci/2024/10/28/i...

I advocate for critical thinking about what “SES” is supposed to represent. Social theory & quantitative sociology provide good ways of doing this before selecting variables. Is it social status, ie. prestige you want to measure? Or social class? Deprivation? Each have different measures

Open letter from a group of sleuths re problems with editors/papers at Scientific Reports deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/10/an-o... They've published 23K papers in 2024 with APC of ÂŁ2090, raising ÂŁ48 million from this journal alone, so should be able to put resource into cleaning this up.

Hard to publish null results, academic prizes (e.g. Nobel) only for the spectacular results, late breaking sessions on science congresses for surprising findings with impact, … and we keep being surprised when hear news about scientists exaggerating results and fake their data

Today is World Mental Health Day, and the theme this year is Mental Health At Work. So it's a good time to share this study (N = 46,336), which suggests that individual-level MH interventions at work are not effective at improving wellbeing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New preprint! There are lots of interesting estimators that can be used to target causal effects, some of which aren't well-known in psychology. Arthur Chatton and I provide a (gentle) introduction to approaches commonly used in epidemiology: psyarxiv.com/k2gzp
