We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

We're looking for work that examines context factors (broadly defined) in a theory-driven, rigorous, and integrative fashion. We want to advance more nuanced ideas of how environments affect mental health (ie, not just a demographic IV in a regression). hit me up if you have any leads. EXCITED!! 2/2

That’s two reported ChatGPT suicides in one week, plus the grandpa who died trying to meet Meta’s chatbot which had arranged an in-person meeting

All going really well

WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.

“Erik, you’re not crazy.” ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.
AI therapy is a surveillance machine in a police state
Big Tech wants you to share your private thoughts with chatbots — while backing a government with contempt for privacy.

New Viewpoint in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science on the use of the term “normal” in the DSM over time.

It’s increasing, and it’s an unclear term. I found the discussion of this fascinating.

Check it out.

I was wondering if anyone who got a clinical psych PhD in the US and/or got licensed in the US has experience applying for predoctoral internships in Canada. I would love to hear more about what this process looked like from folks who have experience navigating it.

My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

Though we're in a new version of the world where lies are truth, i do have to correct the record and say I won 10-1.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.
