We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 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.

Comparing the most important predictors indicated meaningful differences between the components and types. One example: impulsive tendencies predicted greater success in initiation conflicts, suggesting that a certain "just do it" attitude could be helpful for this conflict type

Anabel Büchner @anabelbuechner.bsky.social · Jun 19

Trait items indexed all components to some extent, but most strongly successful conflict resolution (as expected).

No trait items reliably predicted inhibition conflicts, which is surprising given that many trait scales were developed precisely for this conflict type.

Anabel Büchner @anabelbuechner.bsky.social · Jun 19

Most trait scales were developed based on much narrower definitions. So: which parts of these broader conceptualizations do they actually capture?

We applied machine learning techniques to experience-sampling data, linking 169 trait items of self-control to these components and types in daily life.

Anabel Büchner @anabelbuechner.bsky.social · Jun 19

Broader conceptualizations of self-control distinguish between:
• Components: frequency, intensity, and successful resolution of self-control conflicts
• Types of conflicts: initiating goal-directed behavior, persisting in that behavior, and inhibiting goal-inconsistent behavior

Anabel Büchner @anabelbuechner.bsky.social · Jun 19

Self-control in daily life is more than willpower — but how well do commonly used trait scales capture this recent, broader view on self-control?

My editorial on how journals can earn trust.

We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that.
