Now out in @NatureHumBehav A systematic review and meta-analysis of discrepancies between logged and self-reported digital media use

We show that media use self-reports are only moderately correlated with log measures & question their validity

I’ve been on Twitter (never X to me) for 13 years. It feels like the end of a beautiful, unexpected & life-changing party. I’ve long missed the vitality, vibrancy, magnanimity & true warmth that were the hallmarks of the early years. But even though my bags have been packed…

This was an interesting exercise to experience. Take 30 papers and try your best to access the data, run the code, execute any commands, and make it work...recording what did/didn't work, what was/wasn't available, and how long it took.

Research has failed to provide the necessary evidence to support evidence-based policy. We need to ask better questions, present better models, collect better data... in this vacuum fear and anecdote have run rampant. We need to do better. See -> for more x.com/DGPs_MediaPsych/status…

Seeing that @Giaa_band will be playing in The Netherlands next year prompted me to reconnect my Spotify account to last.fm...It's such an amazing time capsule of a totally different time in my life where music was so central.

🚨 New preprint! @dougaparry, @mjemmer, and I investigated the times, gratifications, locations, and activities alongside smartphone and app use in Germany 📱. To do so, we used a combination of surveys, MESM, logging, and data donations.
