psymetadata: An R Package Containing Open Datasets from Meta-Analyses in Psychology
We present 22 open-source datasets from meta-analyses in psychology. These data span areas such as social, developmental, and cognitive psychology, among others. These datasets are useful for two main purposes: (1) for demonstrative use in the teaching of meta-analysis techniques and (2) the illustration of novel statistical methods in journal articles. Additionally, they can be used to elicit informative priors for a Bayesian meta-analysis. All datasets are available through the R packagepsymetadata.

Systematic Categorisation of 3,091 Smartphone Applications From a Large-Scale Smartphone Sensing Dataset
Practically all user activities on a smartphone depend on self-contained software applications, so-called apps. Due to the large number and diversity of available apps, the analysis of app usage behaviour in social science research requires elaborate pre-processing of app data. Therefore, we present a categorisation scheme and a dataset of 3,091 manually categorised apps used by a representative quota sample within a large-scale smartphone sensing study conducted in Germany over several months in 2020. For the categorisation, we report values for inter-rater agreement between two independent raters. We provide the freely a...

Cognitive Dynamics of a Single Subject: 1428 Stroop Tests and Other Measures in a Mindfulness Meditation Context Over 2.5 Years
Recent discussions on threats of group-to-individual generalisability in psychology have prompted the need for individual-level data that is of sufficient length, in order to study within-individual psychological processes. In the current study, a single participant monitored their own cognitive dynamics daily before and after a 20-minute meditation session delivered by a mobile application. Over the course of 900 days, the participant performed Stroop tests and self-reported variables regarding cognitions (e.g. mood, clarity, calm, tiredness) as well as context (e.g. sleep, fasting, coffee, self-regulation). Published on ...

Developments in Open Data Norms
Open data has been transformative for the scientific and public understanding of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, bringing into sharp focus the clear benefits of increasing transparency and accountability within psychological research. Despite the knowledge that individual gatekeeping of data is antithetical to the goals of the scientific community, research norms across Psychology are changing too slowly. This editorial reviews the recent developments made in open data practices and norms, the upcoming demands of openness, and marks the changes made to the Journal of Open Psychology Data to further support progress towards a...

Personality Trait Descriptors: 2,818 Trait Descriptive Adjectives Characterized by Familiarity, Frequency of Use, and Prior Use in Psycholexical Research
This dataset contains 2,818 trait descriptive adjectives in English and information about the extent to which each term is known among a large and approximately representative sample of U.S. adults. The list of personality-related terms includes all 1,710 adjectives previously studied by Goldberg (1982) and draws on prior work by Allport and Odbert (1936) and Norman (1967). The extent to which terms were known by respondents was based on the administration of vocabulary questions about each term-definition pair online to a sample of English-speaking U.S. residents with approximately average literacy levels. The open data a...

Psychological Response Data on the Traumatic Nature of 600 Written Events
We present a dataset containing participants ’ ratings (n = 250) of 600 written descriptions of events ranging from benign ( ‘witnessed a leaf falling from a tree’) to potentially distressing and/or injurious (‘was stabbed by a close friend’). Participants were randomly assigned to rate a subset of events on a 7-point Likert scale from “Not at all traumatic” to “Extremely traumatic”. Participants were also assessed in terms of demographic characteristics (gender, race, ethnicity, previous trauma exposure, psychiatric diagnosis, religiosity, political orientation, age). The data are suitable for various pu...

Psychology Data from an Exploration of the Effect of Anticipatory Stress on Disgust vs. Non-Disgust Related Moral Judgments
In this lab-based experiment (N = 185, Tilburg University students) we tested the effect of anticipatory stress on moral condemnation. The data covers severity ratings for vignettes of two content types: vignettes with an inherent disgust-eliciting element (e.g., eating human flesh) and without (e.g., lying on a resume), filled out on computers using the survey platform Qualtrics. Participants in the anticipatory stress condition rated the vignettes as more morally wrong, and disgust-eliciting vignettes were rated as more morally wrong. No moderation by disgust content was found. Private Body Consciousness (PBC) was positi...
