When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*?

Turns out: yes!

We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵

Makes sense! Also interesting to see that it does not affect careless responding, as i would have thought that pay-per-beep makes people obsessed with completing all beeps, bur not carefully per se (a bit in line with what we found in another study). Cool findings!

Haha, I found the poster trough your link!

Interesting! Since some meta-analyses did not find such an effect. Any ideas what you could have done differently?

If there is preprint available could you notifiy me? Or could I have a look at the poster? Couldn't attend the network meeting this year, unfortunately!

Velkommen, Danmark!

At m-Path Software, we’re thrilled to welcome Danish to our growing list of supported languages.

And of course, what better symbol than the 🚲, a nod to Denmark’s world-famous cycling culture and smooth, user-friendly journeys.

Intervening on a central node in a network likely does little given that its connected neighbors will "flip it back" immediately. Happy to see this position supported now.

"Change is most likely [..] if it spreads first among relatively poorly connected nodes."

Just out in JMIR - A team from Salzburg uni built and validated a full mobile stress induction toolbox entirely inside m-Path.

No external software company. No custom coding.

Just researchers developing their own digital paradigms through the m-Path prototype pipeline: www.jmir.org/2025/1/e75785

Digital Stress Induction in Daily Life Using the Salzburg Mobile Stress Induction (SMSI): Development and Ambulatory Evaluation Study

Background: The use of digital technology enabled examining stress in everyday life. However, ambulatory research depends on the natural occurrence of stressful situations while most standardized stre...

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

Haha oops! But it’s such an inspirational piece of furniture it also feels like a coach 😅

📦 A new chapter for m-Path!

We may be moving (real) offices, but one thing is certain: Our trusted coach is joining us!!

From feature brainstorms to deep dives into implementation (and a few philosophical detours 🤓)… our coach has heard it all!

Tailor schedule, human check-ins, sufficient reminders, item format and wording based on input on stakeholder input, etc.

80% compliance, 0 drop-out. Low reported burden, and highly motivated to complete the surveys carefully.

Below, results from a post-EMA exit survey:

🤔 Can people with dementia participate in intensive experience sampling studies via smartphone?

🧐Yes, they can! Even with high-frequency sampling schemes (8 times / day)!

Curious to see how keyboard data could enrich your EMA/ESM research and happy to give feedback?

Drop us a message or email us at [[email protected]], we’d be happy to set you up!

Egon Dejonckheere @dejonckheeregon.bsky.social · Aug 7

We’re currently beta-testing this feature and would love for existing m-Path researchers to try it out.

✅ Is our keyboard functionally complete?
✅ Do the data streams make sense for your research?
✅ Does it comply with common ethical/IRB regulations?
✅ Any issues regarding UI/UX or potential bugs?

As always, privacy is a priority — participants remain fully informed and in control (we added a mute button 🤫 and allow participants to remove sensitive text entries).

Egon Dejonckheere @dejonckheeregon.bsky.social · Aug 7

Our custom keyboard logs what participants type on their phone – making it possible to:

✍️ Analyze keystroke behavior (e.g., typing speed, pauses, corrections)
🧠 Conduct content analyses of written text across messaging apps, notes, and more
💬 Study naturalistic language use in digital contexts

📣 We are looking for a test audience!

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new addition to our mobile sensing packages: m-Path Keyboard Tracking!

Cool example of #CitizenScience meets #EMA / #ESM: A large-scale study on how nightly sleep duration 😴 shapes daily emotional experience 🎭.

Bonus points for running a full multiverse of analyses! 🧠🏆

Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!
