- Reposted by Tobias Dienlin@scientificdiscovery.dev Hi, I am creating a new version of my free online MOOC, and would like to use this picture, of which you have the copyright. Is it ok if I put it in a slide?

- AI chatbots are a completely new online entity people now routinely interact with. Many users even form close emotional bonds. How can we make sense of this? In the AI-Relationship Process Framework (AI-RP), we try to capture the most relevant aspects of this new phenomenon. Feedback welcome!
- Very much looking forward to reading this 🍿
- 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...
- Reposted by Tobias DienlinThe Iowa Gambling Task is an extreme example of Jingle Fallacy and schmeasurement. In 100 articles we found 244 different ways of scoring it, 177 were never reused. Correlations between them range -.99 to .99. At the same time, we show meta-analyses combine these results as if they’re equivalent.

- So cool!
- I made a mistake: A researcher who re-used our dataset noticed an inconsistency. We corrected multiple errors and requested a correction at the journal. - Article: doi.org/10.5964/ejop... - Corrected version: osf.io/sz5b9/files/... Luckily, none of the conclusions were affected.

- Reposted by Tobias DienlinComparing 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

- Great to see our homepage is now up and running!

- This is so cool. And I’m so happy that reviewers realized the package’s enormous relevance.
- I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support. I'm delighted to be a small part of an 1.5M OpenScienceNL award, led by Jorgensen, to completely revamp and futureproof Lavaan www.openscience.nl/en/news/45-p...
- Happy to have received this note by @jmp-hogrefe.bsky.social! I don't review as much as I used to, so this was a pleasant surprise. It's a great idea of JMP to publicly acknowledge reviewers. Reviewing is an important part of quality control with little concrete benefits, so everything helps!
- „These high school hagwons have grueling schedules. During term time, students typically have days that run from 7am to 2am (sic!), starting with morning study sessions before school and finishing with homework in the library.“ I wasn’t prepared for reading this …
- To normalize open science, it’s important to include it into teaching. Great to see this implemented!
- Very much enjoyed to be part of our first workshop!

- Reposted by Tobias DienlinPreprint⚠️ Scrolling and swiping tend to be more interesting than studying or working, leading to procrastination. Can we do something about that? We investigated whether temporary deliberate non-use of digital technologies (digital disconnection) is effective as a strategy against procrastination.

- So...my undergrad thesis student is doing a quality analysis of studies found in meta-analyses. She identified a few and we contacted the authors to request their effect sizes and other variables for the studies in their papers. Here's what happened: scientiapsychiatrica.com/index.php/Sc...
