For all of you stress generation fans, the preprint is now unavailable while the good folks at PsyArXiv do the important work of culling out AI slop. Never fear: the preprint is also up on @researchgate.bsky.social

Come for the thread, stay for the preprint! Lead author Dr Lisa Starr describes the consensus guidelines we developed to help improve the quality and rigor of stress generation research.

I highly recommend reading this before you design your next stress gen project.

One hope is that the paper provides scholars with useful information for designing experimental studies focused on understanding suicide. We have provided detailed supplemental tables that describe the images and where to obtain them, along with suicide ratings (how much they depict suicide).

Dr. Jeremy G. Stewart (he/him) @querbylab.bsky.social · Mar 10

If our images do not adequately capture the construct we think they're evoking, then making strong inferences about specific, suicide-driven processes is inappropriate. Fortunately, Lily has now compiled evidence for the construct validity of a relatively large set of suicide images.

Dr. Jeremy G. Stewart (he/him) @querbylab.bsky.social · Mar 10

Lily addressed a disarmingly simple question: do stimuli we use in experimental suicidology look "like suicide" to participants? This is critical because we use images to make inferences about cognitive-affective responses people may have to suicide, and to test hypotheses based in suicide theories

Please check out this interesting and important new paper from the COVID-19 Mental Health Workgroup, led by Mary Blendermann. The piece unpacks longitudinal associations among constructs pertinent to understanding anxiety symptoms.

As a bonus: it’s been great to learn from this team.

Lauren S. Hallion, Ph.D. @laurenshallion.bsky.social · Jan 13

Just accepted at Behavior Therapy!

Using COVID-19 Mental Health Workgroup data, Mary Blendermann shows that anxiety prospectively predicted changes in worry, but worry did not mediate the association between anxiety and difficulty concentrating over time.
