Call: “Measuring the Mind”

Daniela Nica and Sandra Branzaru organize a hybrid workshop on “Measuring the Mind – Conceptual Issues in Psychology, Psychiatry and Cognitive Science” that will take place at the University of Bucharest from May 29 to 30, 2026.

Submissions for contributions can be submitted until April 15, 2026. The call reads:

Psychology, psychiatry, and cognitive science increasingly rely on sophisticated measurement technologies while remaining tied to inherited assumptions about what is being measured. Many constructs – emotion, memory, attention, intelligence, disorder – are still treated as if they were stable, homogeneous, mind‑independent natural kinds with latent quantitative essences, even as empirical work reveals pervasive heterogeneity, context‑sensitivity, and replication failure across domains such as affective neuroscience, psychopathology, and social cognition. At the same time, related debates in the philosophy of biology, metaphysics, and cognitive ontology emphasize conceptual relativity and the need to re‑engineer scientific categories in light of concept‑laden evidence.

This conference asks what follows for measurement and classification if psychological and psychiatric categories are better understood as populations of variable, situated instances or relational patterns in high‑dimensional spaces, rather than as tokens of fixed types. How should we think about constructs, latent variables, and diagnostic entities if variation is ontologically primary and averages are statistical abstractions? When do our instruments partially constitute the phenomena they purport to detect? To what extent do replication “failures” reveal construct instability or ontological mismatch rather than methodological error?

We invite contributions from philosophy of psychology and psychiatry, philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of biology, metaphysics and metametaphysics, as well as empirically oriented work in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience that engages these conceptual issues. Topics include, but are not limited to: cognitive and psychiatric ontology; natural kinds, homeostatic property clusters and relational or internal realism; measurement theory, psychometrics and the “quantitative imperative”; classification and re‑classification in psychiatry and cognitive science (e.g., RDoC, HiTOP); construct instability and the replication crisis; predictive processing and constructionist theories of mind and emotion; and the concept‑ladenness of evidence and data‑driven ontology re‑engineering.

Our aim is to articulate and critically assess conceptual frameworks that could underpin a “variation‑first” science of mind, in which explanation, generalization, and measurement are explicitly aligned with the heterogeneous, context‑bound phenomena they target.

The conference is organized by the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest, and is open to MA and PhD students, early PhDs and postdocs, as well as established researchers in philosophy of psychology, psychiatry, cognitive science, philosophy of biology, and related empirical fields.

A quotation from Thoreau

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 “Conclusion” (1854)

How Scrutiny and Iteration Made Behavioral Economics Better https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-scrutiny-iteration-made-behavioral-economics-better
"However, direct #replicability should not be confused with #generalizability or universality. While the basic patterns of behavior documented in the original experiments reliably show up in subsequent replications, their magnitudes can vary substantially across contexts. Loss aversion might be stronger in some settings than in others. Understanding this variation has become a central focus of contemporary behavioral economics research. Rather than viewing such #heterogeneity as a challenge to the field’s foundations, researchers increasingly see it as a source of insight into the underlying psychological mechanisms driving behavioral anomalies."

The Role of Firms and Occupations in Wage Inequality https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:vfsc25:325461&r=&r=eur
"… find that between-occupation job variance is roughly as important as within-occupation between-firm variation, and that between-occupation sorting is significantly more important than within-occupation between-firm sorting in our context.
… 21% of total log-wage variance can be attributed to between-occupation pay variance and sorting of workers between occupations, while 9% can be attributed to variance within occupations between firms and sorting between workers and firms within occupations.
… suggests that occupation-based factors, such as #heterogeneity in skill prices, are quantitatively more important than firm pay dispersion.
… in higher-wage occupations and larger labor markets firm-level heterogeneity is relatively more important, although the importance of firm-worker sorting does not vary.
… individual-level differences are significantly more important in both higher-wage occupations and larger labor markets."

… this average urban wage premium pertains to different segments of the local income distribution, we find that it is larger for workers with higher wages. Our analysis hereby suggests that firm pay premia (firm FEs) play a relatively larger role in explaining upper and top-level income rather than median and lower- level income.

… #meritocracy is particularly prominent in richer countries
… people’s belief about the source of #inequality is crucial for whether they consider inequality in their society to be fair, but we also establish that these beliefs are particularly important in countries where people endorse the meritocratic fairness views
… It appears plausible that the meritocratic fairness view is conducive to economic #growth

Labor share and market power in European firms https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:pra:mprapa:123442&r=&r=lma
"firms’ product and labor market power, as reflected in product markups and labor markdowns, enable firms to capture a larger share of economic output at the expense of workers.
… empirical analysis shows that markdowns are negative correlated with labor share, as firms reduce employment and suppress #wages below the marginal revenue of labor.
Product markups exhibit a dual effect: they can positively influence the labor share by increasing wages and employment when firms reinvest additional profits into production expansion. … markups indirectly reduce the labor share due to their positive link with labor markdowns. Firms with significant pricing power often suppress wages and limit hiring, diminishing the labor share.
… empirical results reveal the presence of a hump-shaped relationship between product markups and labor share. Initially, as product markups increase, the labor share rises, but this trend reverses when markups reach high levels. This nonlinearity underscores the dual nature of markups: while moderate markups have a direct positive effect on labor share, mitigating labor markdowns, high markups enable firms to exert substantial #monopsony power, diminishing the labor share.
The analysis reveals significant cross-country #heterogeneity in the effects of markups and markdowns on the labor share."
