🧵 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.

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.

Maren Klingelhöfer-Jens @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social · Jun 27

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).

Maren Klingelhöfer-Jens @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social · Jun 27

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! 📊

Honoured to step in the shoes of @alinakoppold.bsky.social for the day at #PuG2025 and present the latest results from the systematic review and multiverse analysis from the Data Transformation project.

Thanks to IGOR for the opportunity to contribute to such cool projects!

IGOR DGPs @igor-dgps.bsky.social · Jun 20

Next on the IGOR Symposium at #PuG2025 is @martager.bsky.social in lieu of @alinakoppold.bsky.social presenting latest results on what and how data transformation practices are used with psychophysiological data, and how these impact effect sizes and reliability 🧠
