We urgently need a culture of multi-operationalization in psychological research Open
Analysis of different operationalizations shows that many scientific results may be an artifact of the operationalization process. A culture of multi-operationalization may be needed for psychological research to develop valid knowledge.

Attitude networks as intergroup realities: Using network‐modelling to research attitude‐identity relationships in polarized political contexts Open
We apply a newly developed attitude network‐modelling technique (Response‐Item Network, or ResIN) to study attitude–identity relationships in the context of hot–button issues that polarize the current US‐American electorate. The properties…

The psychometric house-of-mirrors: the effect of measurement distortions on agent-based models’ predictions Open
Agent-based models (ABMs) often rely on psychometric constructs such as ‘opinions’, ‘stubbornness’, ‘happiness’, etc. The measurement process for these constructs is quite different from the one used in physics as there is no standardized …
