🚨New Preprint Alert!🚨 To what extent can we use language to measure psychological and subjective well-being? 🤔 We tested how well language-based models (i.e., bert-based embeddings) predict subjective & psychological well-being across three studies. Here’s what we found! 🧵👇

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard. https://go.nature.com/3F8T6FX

Our new R package makes it easy to report the percentage of effect sizes that a given effect is larger than for a given research field. So instead of reporting a 'medium' effect, you can say something like, "we found an effect that was larger than 42% of effect sizes reported in the field"

New preprint with @HayoungAhn, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social, and @leahsom! We find that language becomes both more psychologically distanced and more abstract when regulating emotions. Results nicely align with Construal Level Theory and extend understanding of lang-emotion relations! osf.io/a2zv3/

Chantal did heroic work processing this rich data and assembling a huge repository of linguistic norms for emotion words. Highly recommend checking out the preprint!
