In this behemoth effort led by @anhhtran.bsky.social, we reanalysed 11 experience-sampling datasets, and found limited evidence that context (intensity, controllability, and social features) meaningfully shaped everyday emotion regulation strategy use.

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 🧵

And I should clarify for everyone who wasn’t on Twitter 1-2 months ago:
For anyone considering Ohio State for grad school, but only knows ohio as a meme, I'm gonna try to tweet about what Columbus can actually be like!
That way you can see if you can imagine yourself here or not #WhyColumbus

Come to think of it it’s insane psychotherapy works at all. Somebody told you something or told you to DO something and it helps with a problem you’ve had for a long time 🧐
