I’m reviewing applications for PhD students to join me at @UMNPsych in 2025! Apply if interested in the intersection of clinical and personality science, HiTOP, and using intensive longitudinal methods to study patterns of everyday behavior that maintain psychopathology. Info:

🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 @VizeColin @aidangcw

++ New preprint alert ++ Why do people differ in their personality changes in response to life events? We - @aj_wright19, @MdkBerlinCrunch, and @WiebkeBleidorn - addressed this question in a systematic review and coordinated data analysis. osf.io/preprints/psya… Results ⬇️

@DrRyanBoyd Decided against being Ryan the Whisper Whisperer ? :) (This is so awesome, what a gift to the field!)

Just out!📢NSSI thoughts, urges, and self-efficacy to resist are highly dynamic—self-injury increases in the afternoon and peaks in the evening. These findings highlight the need for real-time interventions and the value of EMA for assessing risk moments outside the therapy room

We are right now recruiting teens aged 13-17 years to join our Youth Advisory Board for the UMN social media study! All meetings will be conducted via zoom so we welcome out-of-state applicants too. Please help spread the word!

Nice study on a question I’ve been wondering about! Now let’s see if our preference for emotional comfort from humans vs. AI shifts over time…

I'm excited to share this work just published in @affectScience studying dimensions of childhood adversity, empathy, and antisocial behavior. Really interesting findings unpacked below! 1/5

🚨Call for Collaborators🚨 HiTOP 2025 is just around the corner, and I’m excited to propose a symposium on "Leveraging Self and Peer Ratings for Comprehensive HiTOP Spectra Assessment"! 🧠 If you're working with self & peer data to explore links between personality and psychopathology—and want to present alongside Dr. Colin DeYoung as our discussant—please DM me! ☺️ #HiTOP2025 #Psychopathology #Personality #PID5 #FFM

@EikoFried Serif?!? Monsters. :)

Do you care about font types, typography, and kerning? Then you probably won’t care about our official uni font type 🫣

@ErinWestgate @CDelawalla Jan Brett — beautiful illustrations.

@CDelawalla William Steig, when they’re a little older!

Hey—what are your children’s books? We have the classics (Eric Carle, Sandra Boynton). What else is out there that you LOVE?

🚨INVITATION TO COLLABORATE: We are in need of data from the HiTOP-Self Report measure within a general population for a project exploring psychopathology within cancer survivors versus a general population. If you have HiTOP-Self Report data from within a general population that you are willing to share, and if you are interested in collaborating, please reach out!

@EikoFried Doesn’t it depend on the construct?

Hi folks! I'm looking for information (or strong opinions) on unipolar vs bipolar psychometric items. E.g. asking in one item 'sad --- happy' vs having 2 items, 'not sad --- sad' and 'not happy --- happy'. Can be for affect, personality, symptoms, etc. Thanks!

I did a really enjoyable podcast interview on this study with Riva Stoudt for her podcast 'A Therapist Can't Say That'. Loved the chance to discuss these ideas with someone doing clinical work in the real world! intothewoodsportland.com/a-therapist-ca…

I’m considering PhD applications for the Personality, Mental Health, and AI lab for Fall 2025. Come join the clinical area at WashU Psych & Brain Sciences! oltmannsj.com

New article with actual value for clinical applications! doi.org/10.1192/bja.20…

HiTOP 2025 Conference call for abstracts is now open – Deadline November 08 2024 hitop-system.org/hitop-2025-con…

November 7th at 7pm EST / 6 pm CST I’ll be introducing some features of Positron for R @RLadiesSTL Join us for a look at @posit_pbc’s new (in public beta) data science ‘polyglot’ IDE!

Sharp & @JMill_er hope the articles contained in the recent special issue of Personality Disorders: Theory, Research, and Treatment move us closer to recognizing the Alt. Model for Personality Disorders in the main section of the DSM-5 bit.ly/3XOuqJI

Want to study psychopathology in daily life? Study its fluctuations from day to day, across different contexts? If so, you need good tools. I'm very pleased that our broadband measure of psychopathology is now in press! Let me tell you about it 🧵 1/7 osf.io/preprints/psya…
