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*?

Re-upping for the weekday crowd-

Sometimes when I talk to intervention scientists about #measurement #psychometrics I get the argument “even if this questionnaire has bad psychometrics, everyone else in my field uses it and I want to be able to compare my results with theirs”. Let’s talk about how that is a misunderstanding 🧵

Our newest pub is out! Here, we used EMA to examine the moment-to-moment association between drinking and subsequent problems, and if emotional functioning changed the strength of this prospective relationship among a hazardous drinking sample of young adults. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

two figures demonstrating that high momentary negative affect and low trait positive affect, respectively, strengthen the association between drinking and subsequent problems
