Advancing measurement in psychology
Dr. Flake’s research focuses on strengthening the validity, reliability, and transparency of measurement practices in psychology. Her work seeks to ensure that psychological constructs are defined and measured clearly, so that research findings can be interpreted, replicated, and built upon across studies. Through this work, she contributes to improving both the scientific rigour and the theoretical precision of psychological research.
At UBC, Dr. Flake leads the Flake Lab, which develops and disseminates open-science tools, tutorials, and frameworks to help researchers design, evaluate, and communicate psychological measurement more effectively.
Congratulations once again to Dr. Jessica Flake on this well-deserved recognition!
