We have a new preprint out - continuing to try and move the needle on improving research in clinical psych

Josh Miller @jdmiller.bsky.social · 6d

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

There's a really nice new study using phone data from Americans who relocated from one city to another to look at the effect of walkable environments on physical activity. E.g., people move TO New York and walk more, they move FROM New York and walk less www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Countrywide natural experiment links built environment to physical activity - Nature

By analysing the smartphone data of 2,112,288 participants, in particular observing and comparing the activity of the same individual in two different environments, we find that increases in the walkability of environments result in increases in daily physical activity, providing evidence of the importance of the built environment on physical health.

Any tips on good resources for students interested in pursuing their PhD in I/O? I know of great options for clinical psych and am guessing something like this exists for I/O?

Well… editors and reviewers are on the internet, too. And most of us know the papers we’re handling.

I more meant to encourage folks to give editors and reviewers a bit more grace. It can be pretty tough out there. 💕

I mean, I’m not at all biased, not even a little, but I can’t really encourage venting about all the labor my editors and reviewers are shouldering these days.

I think we are still very much in the education phase. So, show grace and educate would be my take.

Findings from Mario's study:
- Open reviews include more sentences, mainly involving suggestions and solutions indicating more constructive reviews
- Open reviews had higher information content scores

His explanation: There is more accountability in an open system

But how long do you have to do it each time? This sounds nice but I’m not sure I can carve in so much email time in chunks like that.

"Preregistration" lumps three distinct practices into one:

- Study registration
- Protocol
- Analysis plans (SAPs)

To advance open science, it's critical that we distinguish them.

I think we shouldn't be reposting click-bait takes from the Financial Times characterizing a 1/10 of a standard deviation drop as a "free fall". Jesus.
