Was great to present on developing the moral self and some of my early LLM simulation results for @lianeleeyoung 's Morality Lab at Boston College! Felt very welcome by the team especially Trys Loustau and Marcus Trenfield and had great feedback on the project. Thanks guys! 😎
Today! I will be giving an in-person talk at the Mind Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, hosted by Dr. Pooja Swami Sahni, PhD!
We had the honor of hosting Dr. Marie Bragg at our Center for Conflict and Cooperation at NYU, led by @jayvanbavel for a talk on “strategic science”—being intentional about the questions we pursue, how we study them, and how we communicate our findings for social impact.
@jayvanbavel Prof. Bragg walked us through striking examples of how social media, AI Chatbots, and marketing shape adolescent mental health, with much to think about in terms of how it applies to other domains (e.g., polarization). Indeed, as researchers, do we not have a responsibility to translate our research findings to the public, institutions, and policy-makers so our research can, ultimately, find meaningful expression?

Convenience Functions for Psychology

Make your workflow faster and easier. Easily customizable plots (via ggplot2), nice APA tables (following the style of the *American Psychological Association*) exportable to Word (via flextable), easily run statistical tests or check assumptions, and automatize various other tasks.

{report} #rstats @rstats package version 0.6.2 is now on CRAN!

MANY bug fixes in this version! Including corrected duplicated text outputs and dramatic speed increases for brmsfit models (which used to refit the model entirely every time).

Automated Reporting of Results and Statistical Models

The aim of the report package is to bridge the gap between R’s output and the formatted results contained in your manuscript. This package converts statistical models and data frames into textual reports suited for publication, ensuring standardization and quality in results reporting.

New PSA paper led by Tom Heyman!

We present a tutorial on crowdsourced MULTIVERSE ANALYSES—a transparent way to test how robust findings are across many analytic paths. Experts suggest, then validate, possible paths. This helps quantify uncertainty and clarify when/where scientific conclusions hold. An important addition to the scientist's toolbox—supporting a more transparent, reliable, and trustworthy psychological science.
