- Reposted by Sabrina NorwoodFirst post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
- Reposted by Sabrina NorwoodFoody et al 2013 has over 130 citations (top 1%) as support for an element of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy's model, but it contains no evidence for that claim. This is a case study in flawed original studies being cited favorably and uncritically until it becomes a common scientific belief.🧵
- Our preprint has evolved! v2 of “Digital Behaviourism” is out now with a new title, new co-authors, and a deeper dive into the behavioural concepts that shape our online lives. It’s time to move beyond “screen time” and focus on function of online behaviours. osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Very grateful to @ianhussey.mmmdata.io, @dgruning.bsky.social, @malte.the100.ci, @shuhbillskee.bsky.social for their work on this!
- Reposted by Sabrina NorwoodServices like RegCheck are extremely promising for moving norms forward from doing open science practices to doing open science practices well.
- Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

- Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)? Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

- Pretty cool is an understatement. There is 1.5 million hours of video game play recorded, via telemetry data! This is a very cool study🎮

- Behaviour doesn’t occur in a vacuum. If social media is meeting a need in young people’s lives, that need won’t just disappear if we ban the platforms. It will go unmet. We need to address the need, not just the tool.

- What if we thought about digital behaviour not in terms of the form that it takes but the psychological functions that it serves? In this preprint we introduce technological behaviourism, a theoretical approach grounded in operant conditioning. @shuhbillskee.bsky.social
