Disclosures

• E. Youngstrom consults with Signant Health about assessment and psychometrics
• Royalties from Guilford Press and �American Psychological Association
• Co-Founder and Executive Director of HGAPS.org

Learning objectives

1. Identify three advantages to using Wiki for disseminating information about psychology resources
2. Identify the different audiences and uses of �Wikiversity versus Wikipedia
3. State three advantages of linking OSF.io and Wiki
4. Be able to use Creative Commons licenses � -Precise, titrated sharing!

(Secret objective….)

Bring the best information about psychological science directly to the people who would benefit

Overview

• Frame: Big picture, and personal
• Origin story
• This is a personal mission
• Implications for D5 and psychology

Why Wiki?

-One of the best ways of having our ideas reach people

Creative Commons licensing -- giving it away better

Commitment: What are you taking away from this? What giving back?

​

​

Why work?

Fortune -- (if citations and impact get us tenure….)

Fame -- Altmetrics, views… more citations

Filial love & altruism -- information only helps if people can find, understand, apply it

​

What is your rank order? �This talk will amplify two of the three (three with a stretch!)

D5: We measure better!

Micro

Macro

D5 snapshot

History: One of the founding divisions

Thousands of members

Roots: Vedas, Aristotle, Galen…

Impact: Personality theories, cognitive abilities, statistical and qualitative methods….

Tremendous breadth of roles and perspectives

• Assessment, Measurement, Qualitative (and a lot more!)

​

We measure better!

Latent variables, constructs -- things that matter:

Quality of Life, Subjective well being, Education

Psychometric methods, classical test theory & IRT

Qualitative methods

...cf. Chemistry!

​

And we punch way above our weight!

​

~117,000 APA Members (all included)

Also ~106,000 licensed psychologists in USA

~35,000 psychology professors in USA

~1,000,000 psychologists around world

​

… <2% are D5 members

(and not all of “our people” are licensed, �are professors...�...but still an outsized influence on field!)

Unmet need

1 psychologist per

3127 people in USA (331 million / 106,000 psychologists)

7,875 people in world (7.87 billion / 1 million psychologists)

1 psychiatrist per 10.870 people in the USA �(331 million/ 30,450 psychiatrists)

Why is Wikipedia so challenging?

Helps to have coding skills

Editors not selected for people skills

(think flame wars)

Don’t need to be content expert to edit

Suspicious of experts

• Big business self-advertising
• Narcissism trap (know own stuff best)

Most influential editors are putting in 80-120 hours/wk

• More time, more technical skills, more clout

(Ignoring that neither people nor psychologists are uniformly distributed)

Recap of story so far...

D5 is awesome!

• History, &
• Influence, &
• Ideas & Skills

But

• Most people don’t know about us
• There aren’t enough of us to go around

Therefore….

​

We need ways to share better

(there are even more ways to share better!)

• Huge amount of information
• “Anyone” can help

Surprising reasons

• Strong version control
• Easy to update
• It’s where �the world is going
• Humans
• Also Google, artificial intelligence…

50 to 200 references

Expertise distills the information by 1000x

How Psychology �looks to Wikipedia

Bad news! Most of them are not great...

Good news! Lots of pages about Psychology topics! N > 12,500 pages

Okay, let’s fix it! �(Eric & Mian-Li, ~2016)

Thoughts for D5 vis Wikipedia

Why bother?

Biggest reach

Altruism:

We measure what matters

Tips:

• Join a team!
• Make it a hobby
• Connect it to hobby
• Make a project or campaign
• Get consultation
• Mental frame: Peer review
• Opinionated from outside areas (~grants!)

3. What is this Wikiversity of which you speak?

Wikiversity is a �“sister project”

• Same computers, software
• Same Free!

Intended to be teaching platform

• Okay to be more technical
• Better fit for academics

Much less traffic

Less intrusive editors

Some intriguing possibilities

Platform for teaching

Graduate exercises

Technical skills

• ROC Party
• Clinical Assessment

Technical Manual in Cloud

Free measures often don’t have tech manuals...

OSF.io as way to future proof + Share Credit

Jules Angst

• Wrote one of the best free scales for hypomania
• Translated into more than 30 languages
• 3+ revisions, �multiple short versions

… He’s 94 years old… (gulp!)

OSF.io as way to create a library in cloud

• Organized

1. Creative Commons

76

Copyright

• Intended to protect ownership rights of creator
• Covers writing, artistic works
• Vs. Processes and devices covered under patent
• Different laws for different countries

​

77

Sea changes

• Internationalization
• Long history of stealing from each other �& expropriation
• Technology
• Printing press
• Digitization
• What used to be illegal and difficult and expensive now is just illegal (cheap and easy)
• Napster wars, digital rights management (iTunes as breakthrough)
• Open access
• Initially perceived as fringe, predatory … Now mandatory in many scenarios

78

Without a license, don’t know legal use

(or whom to thank!)

Who made it?

Are we allowed to use it?

Can’t put it on Wiki…

(gray zone about our website)

79

Which works best for academics?

80

More restrictive

Public Domain

Licenses

Order matters

• CC-BY first:
• Fine to cite in peer reviewed articles, books, upload on preprint server
• It’s free for publisher to use
• Doesn’t force them to change their business model
• (CC BY-SA could force them to give away book/journal!)
• Traditional publication first:
• Now publisher owns it, and we have to ask permission (and may get charged!)

81

Eureka!�We can have our IP cake and eat it, too

82

CC licensing does not prevent copyright

Possible to have both on same product!

​

CC license does not restrict copyright owner –

-- it is granting a license to other users

​

Solves practical problems of finding author,

obtaining permission

How to do it (hi tech version)

Use the Creative Commons license wizard

https://creativecommons.org/choose/

• Helps pick license
• Gives logo
• Embeds code (“watermark”)
• Prevents removing attribution
• Lets computer searches find object by license
• Easier to find the free stuff and re-mix!

Conclusion

D5: We are small but mighty!

We measure better!

Tremendous breadth & applicability

(umbrella vs. diamond)

The five ideas are techniques for:

• Sharing better
• Raising our visibility
• Helping more people

Ways to share better

Parting thoughts

2020 & 2021 have been humbling

A year goes fast

Learned a huge amount about D5

Much that I hope you can share with the world

And We already are doing more of this than we realized
