I had the honor of serving on the advisory board for a grant to develop the IPUMS Multiple Indictor Cluster Survey resource. IPUMS is a data aggregation tool that harmonizes UNICEF-collected data across countries. Check it out! https://t.co/YJi7AQSrWb

I want to use an app for parental survey responses (ecological momentary assessment or timed questionnaires). Did you use an existing research platform, or develop your own? Tell me about your experiences, please. What works and what doesn't?

New simulation paper comparing performance of 2 newer SEM fit index methods (dynamic fit cutoffs, equivalence testing ) to traditional cutoffs (RMSEA < .06, CFI > .95).

Both methods were improvements, but dynamic fit were most consistent across models

@CandiceMMills I think this could easily be construed as having a lot of pets in the home. If that's what you're after because pets add to chaos then I think it's okay.

@AmandaKMontoya In Figure 5, panel A, should there be a path from Y1 to Y2? In addition to or instead of Y1 to M2?

[Diane L. Putnick, PhD @putnickd]

@AmandaKMontoya As a psychologist working in an epidemiology group, this chapter was super helpful for me to understand why we sometimes miscommunicate about mediation!

Do you do mediation analysis, but you're not sure what "causal mediation analysis" is? How is it different, how is it the same? What might you want to change in your analysis pipeline to improve causal inference? Read my new preprint! https://t.co/02xnvWdqJb

@dp_moriarity @BiologicalPsyc1 Thanks for sharing! This is really interesting.

There is SO much research showing that corporal punishment is ineffective and only increases problem behavior. Please stop hitting your children and don't let other people do it either!
