We all know that testing evidence is essential to advancing our understanding of #behaviorchange and the #decisionmaking process. However, this process is often easier said than done.

One of the biggest challenges #researchers face is selecting and using reliable and valid #measures. Choosing the wrong measures or poorly constructed ones can affect the accuracy of your results and the validity of your conclusions from a #researchproject.

@SOBC_RCC is making it easier to design projects or studies that incorporate #behavioralscience with an all-in-one measures repository. Led most recently by @edmondson_don, @pforscher, @birk_jeff, @c_talea, and @russpoldrack, this one-stop-measures repository contains hundreds of assessment tools, along with information about their reliability and validity, all of which have been vetted by experts in the field.

Ready to give it a try? Access it here and tell us what you think: https://t.co/kTIpdeydd4

@Jawsy_P Wow, I said something almost identical to this observation two days ago while talking a walk with @stevedemaio. We’re now in the *very* late aughts, I think, in 2021. The Acceleratingly Anxious Aughts? Yikes, this neverending decade could use some rebranding.
