My first blog post! In which I advance the case that if you're like me and believe aggression research can be a net positive for the world, then you should care a lot about making sure aggression research is rigorous and replicable. A few points I didn't make in the post:

In this commentary, we contend that p-hacking (undisclosed data practices aimed at achieving statistical significance) and HARKing (presenting post hoc hypotheses as though they were made a priori) are unethical according to APA guidelines. 1/2 Here is a free print version: osf.io/nu3bs

One of my favorite recent lab papers. Asks a question I hear folks talk about behind the scenes but had been largely ignored empirically. Favorite part - told my wife about the study once and she said "I thought your lab studied interesting things." lol But, for assessment nerds, this is like candy.

But folks should still have validity/quality checks. Although the two conditions yield valid data at the same rate, neither yields 100% valid data.

Really enjoyed reading this paper. Authors provide a very thoughtful explanation of the often-overlooked impact that secondary parameter values have on the power of the focal inferential test when it’s embedded within a complex model Well worth checking out!

Shit’s so bad the American Bar Association has made a statement

The good news from this study is that clinical PhD students say they like learning about open science and want more of it. The bad news is many programs are failing to incorporate it in their various teaching streams.

Important new paper for clinical psychology! Please amplify. Clinical science needs open science.

Awesome to see our paper on Open Science training in clinical psych programs now in press at CPS. @kaelavantil.bsky.social and I had the chance to present some of the findings at SRP back in October, and I wanted to share a few of the visualizations from that presentation. (1/n)

Looking for a multifaceted psychopathy measure grounded in basic personality science with good reliability and high construct validity with a meta-analysis reporting on those psychometric properties? The Elemental Psychopathy Assessment might be the psychopathy assessment for you.

I am excited to share a new paper that is out in PDTRT. We developed an Antagonism scale for the MMPI-3. As @jdmiller.bsky.social and @drlynam.bsky.social remind us, antagonism is an under-appreciated but important construct. We can now measure it via the MMPI-3. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

This is an important finding to underscore: interaction effects were "very small and practically negligible" in their contributions to explaining the variance in EXT outcomes. Same as it ever was. Abandon hope all ye who put stock in interaction effects.
