Some #WeekendInspiration:

Simone Giertz received an honorary doctorate 👏🎉

and I enjoyed her lecture (engl. his.se/mot-hogskolan/aktivitet )
#Hedersdoktor #ResearchDesign #Skövde

I often look toward design research & practice for my own research and especially teaching. 🙇 It is great to see someone this inspiring honoured in this way!

And there was even a bit to train my Swedish on 😅

Mirjam Stieger (Lucerne Uni) and I are invited to present
"Contemporary #Evaluation of Interventions: Mobile, Digital, and Pragmatic"
at @unibern
bbs.unibe.ch/training/summer_c

This is the annual Summer Course of the Doctoral Program Brain and Behavioral Sciences, and comprises a mixture of keynotes, masterclasses, hidden curriculum etc.

I am very much looking forward to it, and also very honoured to be invited once again to Bern to train #ECRs!

Can anyone direct me to a good review / commentary discussing the "candidate gene approach"? Particularly in basic #biology fields, like #CellBiology, or #DevelopmentalBiology. I've seen some in the context of #HumanGenetics (e.g. GWAS), and are more on the technical aspects of it. I'm looking for a discussion of the pros and cons, particularly the biases that go with this approach. Thanks in advance.

re: Hawthorn game development wiki, character descriptions and quotes for Spidercastle, one of my favourite NPCs. Each of the characters embodies an aspect of something from my framework. I'm particularly fond of Spidercastle's character design, they're inspired by a real person, but also Navi from Zelda and Arcade Gannon from FONV.

Planning a longitudinal study? Here’s four questions you should ask:

🔹 How should time be scaled?

🔹 How many assessments are needed?

🔹 How frequently should assessments occur?

🔹 When should assessments happen?

Advances in methods for longitudinal data collection and analysis have prompted a surge of research on psychological processes. However, decisions about how to time assessments are often not explicitly tethered to theories about psychological processes but are instead justified on methodological (e.g., power) or practical (e.g., feasibility) grounds. In many cases, methodological decisions are not explicitly justified at all. The disconnect between theories about processes and the timing of assessments in longitudinal research has contributed to misspecified models, interpretive errors, mixed findings, and nonspecific conclusions. In this article, we argue that higher demands should be placed on researchers to connect theories to methods in longitudinal research. We review instances of this disconnect and offer potential solutions as they pertain to four general questions for longitudinal researchers: how time should be scaled, how many assessments are needed, how frequently assessments should occur, and when assessments should happen.

Fellow Mastodonians, what are your favorite texts on constructing research questions in the social sciences?

So far, the best I've encountered is White's Developing Research Questions: bloomsbury.com/uk/developing-r

Do you know of any other good resources? It can be anything from textbooks to applied examples or even slides for use in teaching. Anything goes!
