How are climate activist groups Fridays for Future Germany and Letzte Generation portrayed in the media?

We used ChatGPT and frequency analysis to analyse all news articles in major German newspapers to answer this question.

How do scientists and academics engage with climate change beyond research? What barriers to engagement do they perceive?

In a new preprint, we investigate this using a survey of 9,220 scientists from all fields & career stages: osf.io/preprints/psya… Maien Sachisthal jonas haslbeck

How can computational models help us to improve treatments for mental disorder? In our latest preprint (psyarxiv.com/tyn9z) jonas haslbeck, Don Robinaugh and I explore how these models can be used to simulate in-vivo trials of new and existing treatments 1/n

What is stationarity and why is it important for time series analysis? Should you detrend your data before analysing it? How can you identify and model non-stationarity?

In our new preprint jonas haslbeck L. Waldorp and I tackle these questions and others psyarxiv.com/z7ja2

Lourens Waldorp, Sacha Epskamp | @sachaepskamp.bsky.social and I wrote a paper on testing for group differences in multilevel VAR models, which includes implementations and simulations for a parametric and a nonparametric permutation test, and a tutorial using the R-package mnet. psyarxiv.com/dhp8s/

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our (Fabian Dablander jonas haslbeck ) new preprint psyarxiv.com/x52ns, we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4

In a new paper with jonas haslbeck, we propose a Markov Random Field (MRF) model for networks of ordinal variables, develop a new Bayesian methodology to evaluate its structure, and package the methodology in a new R package (link below).

Collaboration with Shell delays the energy transition and undermines academic freedom. We must do our part to revoke the industry's social license to operate. Time is short.

The Dutch government spends billions subsidizing fossil fuels, which is unacceptable in a climate emergency.

Dozens of scientists are today at Extinction Rebellion Nederland’s action protesting this moral and economic madness. We must move out of the labs and into the streets. Time is short.

How to explain degrowth, feat ChatGPT. 🧵

We have an open PhD position in our Theory Construction Methodology project: vacatures.uva.nl/job-invite/111…

This Saturday 14/1 I will join activists in Lützerath to defend the village and stop the coalmine. Join us at 12.00 to protect life, and put people over profit!

The science is clear, the most affected people are clear: no more fossil fuels!

The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?'

So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them.

Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!

In a new paper with Oisín Ryan & Fabian Dablander we find that ESM measures of emotions show a high prevalence of multimodality and skewness in 7 open datasets. We discuss the implications for theory, measurement, and time series modeling.

Interested in whether different groups of people have different network structures? How to match your analysis to your research question? Worried about selection bias?

Then this paper might be interesting for you! 👇

All the people criticising Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion Global haven’t explained how they are going to protect their families from this

Scientists in Amsterdam, Netherlands, wrote quotes from the IPCC report and engaged with the public to get the message out that we need action NOW! #ScientistRebellion

We are on track for about 2.7°C of warming by 2100. But what does that actually mean?

In a new in-depth blog post, I discuss the climate impacts that are already here today and those that lie ahead if we continue on our current path. fabiandablander.com/Climate-Impact…
