Matthew Killingsworth
Happiness researcher, first author of income-happiness-conflict-resolved and the person on the other side of the disagreement it settles. His experience-sampling app collects mood reports in the moment, which is the dataset the 2023 reanalysis runs on.
Worth naming for a reason beyond authorship: he is the case of a junior researcher publishing a result that contradicted Kahneman's, then being invited into the reanalysis rather than argued at. The spoke keeps citing the replication crisis as a problem of incentives; this is the counter-instance in its own corpus.
