Very excited for this paper to be out in which we continue to use very personally meaningful real-world events to understand emotion and cognition: Expectations are not stable in systematic ways and this has systematic consequences. Great work by @BillyVillano

Many of us deal with uncertain waiting periods by bracing for bad news. But does this buy us any relief when bad news arrives? Short answer: Yes, but only briefly; and it can have unexpected consequences. New work out in @PsychScience: bit.ly/3xzX72F (More below 🧵👇)

@ChrisWebbPhD @BenjaminSwerdl1 @EikoFried Thanks for the shoutout! Happy to discuss our process and thinking if any questions arise.

@BenjaminSwerdl1 @EikoFried @helleryeahz Was coming on here to suggest this same paper!

After cleaning all our data (typical cross-sectional psych data & also EMA data), we're now in the process of identifying bad / implausible responses & responders (not just outliers). Are there any #rstats pipelines, packages, tutorial papers etc you would recommend?

Did it!!!!! Successfully defended my dissertation last week ❤️still feels pretty surreal. Dr. Puccetti in the house!! The third MANATEE PhD 🌴 🌊 🌞 with the invaluable support of @helleryeahz

This is wild. There was one spotted in mount horeb the other day as well.

🎉 New review article! 🎉 Computational models of subjective feelings can help us understand subjective psychiatric symptoms. By @ChangHaoKao1 @gloriawfeng @jihyuncindy_hur @huwbris in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews! doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…🧵👇1/n

Excited to share that new work with @helleryeahz, @arossotto, @BrittJaso, Noah Kraus, and Rick Reneau is now published in @ScienceAdvances: “Individual differences in naturalistic learning link negative emotionality to the development of anxiety” (1/11)

@HilWeingarden @aidangcw @NHaniZainal @NC_Jacobson May I suggest our EMA cleaning algorithms? manateelab.org/wp-content/upl…

What are your favorite resources for EMA/intensive longitudinal data prep and cleaning in R? New to R and EMA. Most resources jump right to running MLMs and skip data prep. Getting data ready for @aidangcw Pitt Methods course! @NHaniZainal @NC_Jacobson

@JamieLarsH @Garrett_Neuro @manateelab @LucinaUddin @giuliaabaracc @neuro_klooster this may also be useful...not in the imaging space but EMA: nature.com/articles/s4156…

@Garrett_Neuro @manateelab @LucinaUddin @giuliaabaracc @neuro_klooster This was an amazing treasure trove... many thanks for all this! Excited to dig into those papers!

#fMRI_timeseries_nerds Anyone compare different time-series variability metrics (i.e., MSSD, ReHo) and know their correlations? I kept wondering about how unique each metric's variance was. (CC: @manateelab, @LucinaUddin or @Garrett_Neuro, ever investigate those?)

@RCBagot @CIHR_IRSC @BagotLab Congratulations!

@The_Fadoktor @puccetti_nikki It was so fun to work on this together! Couldn’t agree more. Also with @BillyVillano as well.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this. We need more collaborations between human subject and model organism researchers! @puccetti_nikki @helleryeahz authors.elsevier.com/c/1eKLyY3M3WcS…

Momentary mood fluctuations reflect the recent history of rewards, as shown in our previous lab studies (e.g., doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… )or in the real world (@BillyVillano @helleryeahz doi.org/10.1037/xge000…) 2/13

@ShirleneWang @manateelab @BrittJaso @NoahKraus8 Hey, thanks! Quick responses: (1) yes remained open, (2) yes there was incentive for compliance (but only for response rate), (3) purpose was to study emotion in daily life and surrounding personally meaningful events (i.e., exam feedback)

@helleryeahz @manateelab @BrittJaso @NoahKraus8 Very interesting paper! Some Qs: 1) For the dense sampling schedule surveys, did the surveys remain open until the next one (for 45 minutes)? 2) Were there any incentives/compensation for participation/compliance? 3) What were participants told was the purpose of the study?

Excited to share this new work from the @manateelab with @BrittJaso and @NoahKraus8 in Psych Methods: bit.ly/3uao07q 'What makes for a careless EMA response?' Using >18k EMA we identify 3 features that researchers should consider alongside a new R-package: EMAeval 1/n

Given the explosion of EMA research, we hope researchers use these tools and we are excited to work with anyone wanting to implement them!

Lastly, we introduce an R-package: EMAeval (github.com/manateelab/) to run on your EMA data to flag careless responses. We also describe how to run these scripts during data collection so you can contact participants to enhance data quality. 5/n
