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:

Evidence that BPD is treatable, and no modality is better than another. Love it.

Pinch me… there are no words for how grateful and excited I am to announce that I’ll be an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology Research Program at the University of Minnesota starting this fall! Absolute dream come true.

The @HiTOP_system is based on a qualitative review of the literature...do you ever wonder what a QUANTITATIVE synthesis of evidence for the structure of psychopathology would look like? We did (@aidangcw)! I can't wait to share what we found:

I'm a doctor!! So profoundly grateful for all the support along the way. I especially can't believe how lucky I am to have @aidangcw as a mentor.

That's Dr. @WhitneyRingwald to you all! Very proud to say that she passed her dissertation defense today with flying colors! Stay tuned for more outstanding work from this exceptional scholar. Couldn't feel more fortunate than to have had her as part of the lab for the last 5yrs.

There’s a HUGE gap in personality development research–it's focused on the Big 5, but personality is hierarchical! So we know little about processes at higher-order (metatrait) or lower-order (facet) levels. So we studied it! & the results are SO COOL! psyarxiv.com/ft3cq/

Our HiTOP meta-analysis is now in press at Psych Medicine! @aidangcw @MiriForbes We quantitatively synthesized the literature on structural models of psychopathology to see how closely it relates to HiTOP. Turns out, pretty darn close + we also learned a lot of new things…

Giving a pain rating to a doctor is an ordeal when you’re knowledgeable about scale design. ….What does each unit represent? Am I comparing to my own pain range or age-matched norm? Should I say ‘10’ to communicate pain or reserve the endpoints for an unknowable extremity?

Beyond excited and grateful to share that my @NIAAAnews F31 was funded! I will be using machine learning and passive sensing to study the behavioral pathways linking Big Five personality traits to binge drinking!

To be clear, e.g., it’s an objective measure of heart rate/blood pressure/galvanic skin response NOT an objective measure of stress/fear/anxiety just as self-reports are an objective measure of what the participant reported.

I've been getting that reference wrong for years, how embarrassing.

Personality traits and skills both matter for life outcomes–but what we TEND to do (traits) isn't the same as what we’re CAPABLE of doing (skills). Think e.g., the socially adept introvert. So do (mis)matches between traits and skills also matter?👇👇👇 psyarxiv.com/d2z5b/

NEW PAPER‼️ Drinking patterns in young adults are highly heterogenous, which has stalled progress in ID-ing mechanisms and knowing who is at risk for harmful alcohol use. Here, we gain new insights into drinking by using a method that matches the complexity of these processes.
