We all know that testing evidence is essential to advancing our understanding of #behaviorchange and the #decisionmaking process. However, this process is often easier said than done. One of the biggest challenges #researchers face is selecting and using reliable and valid #measures. Choosing the wrong measures or poorly constructed ones can affect the accuracy of your results and the validity of your conclusions from a #researchproject. @SOBC_RCC is making it easier to design projects or studies that incorporate #behavioralscience with an all-in-one measures repository. Led most recently by @edmondson_don, @pforscher, @birk_jeff, @c_talea, and @russpoldrack, this one-stop-measures repository contains hundreds of assessment tools, along with information about their reliability and validity, all of which have been vetted by experts in the field. Ready to give it a try? Access it here and tell us what you think: measures.scienceofbehaviorch…

Is the news stressing you out? Here’s what to do: 1) Notice your habits. When do you get the most worried? 2) Ground yourself in the present moment. How does your body feel? 3) Only check the news 1-2x/day. Substitute with an activity that calms you. npr.org/2020/10/23/927134772…
