Scientific progress in health psychology is hindered by pervasive issues ranging from the conceptualisation and measurement of our constructs to the formalisation of our theories and organising frameworks. This limited podcast series hosted by Olga Perski and Christoph Bamberg aims to 1) raise awareness of key issues facing the field of health psychology and 2) discuss potential solutions and insights with experts from the newly formed EHPS SIG in Conceptualisation, Formalisation and Measurement and beyond.

    Constructs, Validity and the Narrative Response Model with Gjalt-Jorn Peters

    In our second episode, we continue our conversation on Constructs with Gjalt-Jorn, GJ, Peters. We then move on to the measurement of these constructs and the difficulties in assessing the validity of our measurements. GJ introduces us to the idea of Narrative Response Models as a tool to link constructs to measurement instruments and assess their validity. If you are unsatisfied with current ways to assess validity and want to think more deeply about the connection between what we want to measure and how we measure it, this episode is for you!  Learn more about the Conceptualization, Formalization and Measurement interest group here: https://cfm.opens.science/ Here are some resources for your further study: GJ’s website: https://www.behaviorchange.eu/ GJ’s preprint on Narrative Response Models: https://doi.org/px2z  DCT website: https://open.lnu.se/index.php/metapsychology/article/view/3638 Denny Borsboom, Angelique Cramer, Rogier Kievit, Annemarie Zand Scholten, Sanja Franic (2009).

    Defining Our Constructs: Clarity, Jingle–Jangle, and the DCT, with Annick De Paepe

    In our first guest episode, we talk with Annick De Paepe about why vague construct definitions stall science and how to fix this. Topics include jingle–jangle pitfalls, pragmatic realism (and why multiple context-specific definitions can coexist), the Decentralised Construct Taxonomy, and a practical 4-step method for crafting definitions—illustrated with HAPA constructs (action planning, coping planning, self-efficacy, action control). We hope that you leave with concrete steps to write and cite clearer definitions and how to link them to measurement.
