New preprint!

Does data quality drop when participants respond to #EMA / #ESM surveys in the presence of others?

We explored this in a pooled analysis of 4 ESM studies and found (subtle) shifts in burden & response behavior depending on participants’ social context:

The first preprint of my PhD is out! Our review maps choices that researchers make throughout an ESM study from start to finish, including reporting and open science practices. We compare our findings to previous literature where possible, but also provide novel insights! osf.io/preprints/ps...

📣These insights directly informed the optimization of ACT-DL, which has already been piloted. More on that coming soon!

💡 Clients suggested ways to improve engagement, including integrating feedback from app use into therapy, using their personal devices and offering more flexible, longer-term use.

Center for Contextual Psychiatry @ccp-kuleuven.bsky.social · Aug 21

💡 Certain design features (e.g., number of questionnaires, timing of notifications) made it harder to respond to the ESM beeps, particularly during social situations or at work.

Center for Contextual Psychiatry @ccp-kuleuven.bsky.social · Aug 21

💡 Completing the ESM questionnaires raised awareness of feelings, thoughts, and behavior, and ACT exercises were positively received.

🚨 New paper out!

We studied how loneliness relates to self-harm in adolescents in real time, and how parent–child attachment shapes this link, thereby offering key insights into when and why adolescents self-harm and what we can do to help.
