I’m a psychologist, research and clinical.

Starting to suspect that the experience of psychopathology is not equal to a linear combination of unit-weighted self-report Likert items

@MelissaMilena90 @tkaiser_science Agree, I don’t think providing reminders on a schedule people think they want is that much tailoring, more like letting you buy the size pants you usually wear. But good to see a null finding anyway

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

Who do I know who is interested in both psychotherapy research and reproducibility, and has some time to talk?

@joarhalvorsen (I’m an AE for this journal but haven’t read this paper)

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@joarhalvorsen Can you say what your concern with this is more specifically? I think five is definitely stretching the meaning of “primary,” but what harm are you worried about here? Just that researchers should make stronger hypotheses?

@JMLamont_PhD This one?

@MiriForbes Unsurprisingly Cattell did a bunch of this in the 60s and 70s. His dR-tech FA is just factor analyzing change scores, but he had some other ideas too. My dissertation covered similar ground. One paper using multilevel EFA for this was published: https://t.co/d5MiPkKLoF

@aidangcw I know, foolish to bother. Someone will steal data one way or another 🤷

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@herzog_ph It’s usually the ones who write commentaries

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@tkaiser_science Got it, I think: If you have a preference, there is a moderate chance that you would remit in the preferred but NOT remit in the non-preferred treatment, and that is especially true for CBT?

What is the chance you would remit in the non-preferred but not the preferred?

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@tkaiser_science Checking my understanding: if you prefer a treatment, the preferred treatment will have a somewhat higher chance of leading to remission? For CBT a bit more than LTPP?

@lluaces These all make very useful fortune cookie fortunes

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

This is every meta analysis even remotely related to my work

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@tkaiser_science have you seen any debates there? I haven't seen much interaction except my own so far

[Andrew Athan McAleavey @andrewathan]

@dsquintana They might be having server issues. I had success there this week!

@joarhalvorsen Conversion therapy? Det finnes andre grunner, men det var ikkje effektivt.

I haven’t personally figured out how to use mastodon yet, but there’s a new profile pic of me there, which I think is responsible for a major upsurge in people moving over there
