We all know that testing evidence is essential to advancing our understanding of #behaviorchange and the #decisionmaking process. However, this process is often easier said than done. One of the biggest challenges #researchers face is selecting and using reliable and valid #measures. Choosing the wrong measures or poorly constructed ones can affect the accuracy of your results and the validity of your conclusions from a #researchproject. @SOBC_RCC is making it easier to design projects or studies that incorporate #behavioralscience with an all-in-one measures repository. Led most recently by @edmondson_don, @pforscher, @birk_jeff, @c_talea, and @russpoldrack, this one-stop-measures repository contains hundreds of assessment tools, along with information about their reliability and validity, all of which have been vetted by experts in the field. Ready to give it a try? Access it here and tell us what you think: measures.scienceofbehaviorchange.org

Each new upload will go through a rigorous review process after which it will be published for public use. Explore all features for free: measures.scienceofbehaviorchange.org #researchmethods #behavioralscience #AskAScientist #AskSOBC

Here are some features of this repository; ✅Easy-to-use filters. ✅Validation details. ✅Related studies. ✅Download measures. ✅Demo on the experiment factory. ✅Upload measures. #researchmethods #behavioralscience #AskAScientist #AskSOBC

It is the dream of every #researcher to conduct flawless studies, and having the right tools is a sure way to achieve this. The @SOBC_RCC measures repository provides the tools you need to conduct meaningful #research.

Coming up next week! RCCN Webinar on Considering Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Differences When Studying Resilience. March 30 at 2pm ET. Co-sponsored by @AgingInitiative, @nia_demography, @ClinSTARCC, @PepperOAIC, & @RCMARCC. For more info & to register: bit.ly/3J0vym0

New paper reporting a collaborative study between @HBCProject & @SOBC_RCC - 'Linking measures to mechanisms of action: An expert opinion study' doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.1…. Led by @c_talea. @UCLBehaveChange @EHPSociety @SBMTheory @BehavioralMed @UKSBM @BSPHNetwork @MarieJohnstonx

❗️We're seeking experts familiar with the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy v1 (BCTTv1) to contribute to generating examples of BCTs as part of the newly developed Behaviour Change Technique Ontology, the successor to BCTTv1. For more information, visit humanbehaviourchange.org/news/opportuni…
