#CSHRB study results provided some support for the theory that certain motive-context combinations produce more substance use & consequences among a sample of females who use cannabis regularly (including an oversampling of sexual & gender minority individuals) lnkd.in/gM7nb26j

Does ingroup love lead to outgroup hate? I often tell people that identifying with ingroups does not always lead to outgroup discrimination. I call this the "Myth of tribalism". A new paper provides strong and robust evidence for a positive relationship between ingroup and outgroup prosociality.!

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to share an opening at my university for a tenure-track assistant professor in psychology position. We are hiring in the clinical area, and I am chairing the search, so feel free to email me (Mroche@wcupa.edu) with questions. Review of applications begin on October 20th.

⚠️ATTENTION STRESS GENERATION FANS!⚠️ Presenting THREE new papers in Nature Reviews Psychology and Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! One empirical study One methods guide One conceptual framework All have been baking for a LONG time, so it is a thrill to finally share. 🔗🧵⬇️ #PsychSky

I'm super excited to share a new preprint in which @kevinmking.bsky.social and I propose an update to the affect regulation theory of alcohol use: "A mathematical and computational formalization of the affect regulation hypothesis of alcohol use" doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Special issue at Psych Science on psychological science in the real world! Send us your best work looking at whether effects from the lab (or from theories) hold up in ecologically valid settings. Submission deadline: 15 January 2027 www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

People often say they oppose harming animals. Yet across several countries, our findings show selective moral leniency toward own cultural practices of animal exploitation; + associations with national identification and ideology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @gordonhodsonphd.bsky.social

To celebrate the openESM paper release, I wrote a brief blog post summarizing recent developments: openesmdata.org/blog/2026-07... We: 💠added more data 💠provided descriptive visualizations for each item 💠created a semantic similarity mapping for items, making it easier to find related items

I'm really excited to share a new preprint! Lab studies have consistently shown that stress and negative emotions make people drink alcohol, but studies of daily life (EMA) keep failing to find it. What does that mean for the shared theoretical prediction both designs test? osf.io/preprints/ps...

I want to give a shout out to students that it’s 2026 and I am publishing this paper that is responding to critiques I first made in *2014.* science takes time! Similarly, an ML prediction paper I’m working on is coming 8-9 I have the idea simply because I didn’t have the data ☠️

1/ @sadcatlab.bsky.social research "in press" at Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. In 274 adults with 7 weekly measurements, we find that cognitive change in CBT predicts subsequent symptom change, controlling for time-invariant confounds + linear trends osf.io/preprints/ps...

This is *wild Orwellian* shit. www.wired.com/story/story/...

Can less than 10 minutes daily on a mindfulness app improve the mental health of people of color exposed to discrimination? Based on our new publication in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (@jmirpub.bsky.social), the answer is yes! www.jmir.org/2026/1/e84328/ A 🧵:

We just got approved to hire a teaching professor in Quantitative Methods! This is the *very* rare tenure track teaching position at Berkeley. I'll be chairing the search committee. Official job ad coming later this summer!

Turns out empirically derived phenotypes (data-driven symptom sets) nested within traditional mental disorders can help reduce diagnostic heterogeneity! We learned so much cool and interesting stuff in this study. I could talk (/post) about it all day, but here’s a few highlights (🧵)

I need a favor. A donor has agreed to give the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social $10,000 if we are able to show that >100 people believe in this program & willing to make a donation by 4/29/26. $5, $10, amount does not matter. Please help, I would be so grateful. bruingivingday.ucla.edu/campaigns/3-...

New paper— everyone is collecting intensive longitudinal data but recent review studies report that less than half of studies consider measurement/psychometrics. The paper covers a few foundational psychometric methods for ILD and provides a shiny app to apply them link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Are different desires (e.g., food, sleep, alcohol, cannabis) experienced and regulated the same way? We tested this question in a new preprint with Yang Liu, @minzlicht.bsky.social, @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social, and @kevinmking.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps...

I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data. 1/19 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is a great paper on scale norming that also presents a really nice discussion of how people come up with their responses to surveys, and how that can change over time. One read of it has me wanting to put it into my assessment syllabus already.

My last week as Editor of @apajournals.bsky.social Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, and after handling 2400 papers I have thoughts... First, I want to recognize our Top Reviewers of 2025 - thank you all so much for your incredible work. And a huge thanks to all reviewers over the past 6 years!

Our new EMA paper shows that girls worry more about school than anything else in their lives. These worries are linked to lower positive affect and predict depressive symptoms. More attention is needed on school pressures' role in the mental health crisis! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
