Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications.

How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔

It has been a while since @flavioazevedo.bsky.social asked me to take over the Reversals project at @forrt.bsky.social...

It has since evolved beyond my wildest dreams, mostly thanks to @aufdroeseler.bsky.social & @lukaswallrich.bsky.social.

We are very proud of the Replication Hub & Database ♥️

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

🧵 New study alert!
How does 🌡️ room temperature relate to how our body reacts to 😰 psychosocial stress?
We looked at everyday indoor temperature variation (17–28 °C) and measured stress markers in the body.

Concern About Predictive Performance of a Pain Sensitivity Biomarker
To the Editor Chowdhury et al1 evaluated a biomarker for pain sensitivity, combining peak alpha frequency and corticomotor excitability. The authors report outstanding performance (validation set area...

Assessing the long-term Stability of the Spielberger State-Trait Inventory trait scale over 3.5 Years
The Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is the most cited measure of state and trait anxiety, and is routinely employed in a variety of research and clinical contexts. Here, we investigat...

2️⃣ We provide further evidence that the STAI-T isn't just about anxiety – it shares substantial variance with other constructs that (broadly) measure negative emotionality (like depression). Hence, the STAI-T is less "anxiety-specific" than its name suggests.
June 27, 2025 at 12:13 PM
1️⃣ We found that the temporal stability of the STAI-T is pretty similar to that of related constructs, with higher stability over shorter time intervals (r = .81–.87 up to 1 year) compared to longer ones (r = .42–.67 over ~2–3.5 years).
June 27, 2025 at 12:13 PM
We wanted to know:
1️⃣ How stable is the STAI-T over time (5 months to 3.5 years, also compared to related constructs)?
2️⃣ Is there more evidence that the STAI-T in fact does not specifically measure trait anxiety, as claimed?

Final talk of the IGOR Symposium at #PuG2025 by @mreutter.bsky.social @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social. Wondering how we are doing in terms of open science in biopsychology? What comes to mind when thinking of open science? What are benefits and costs?

Look how the audience replied to our polls! 📊
