Psychologists, what are your favorite (open) data sets for teaching multilevel modelling? I have a lot of observational examples, would love a therapy RCT with varying effects for therapists or some such.

🔥 New viewpoint paper accepted at Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science!
I propose a behavioral conceptualization of personality functioning (PF) that reframes the construct in terms of learned self-related repertoires rather than inferred inner structures.

The term "silence in organizations" describes a pattern of behaviour in which people refrain from speaking up when they have become witnesses, or victims, of misconduct by other members of the organizations that they belong to.
