What do researchers believe the replication rate of their field is? What do they think is an acceptable %? Lots of debate but not a lot of data; so we asked! 1,826 researchers in 11 fields said they thought ≈56% of studies in their field are replicable, <≈ 60% is a problem. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Always love when I can't get my files off osf. Who needs data and code anyway?

Autobiographical memories cued w/neutral words, ¼ of the time are about moral themes. Those themes revolve around being the actor of morally good acts, good agent memories are thought to have occurred more recently than our failures. From Dorthe Berntsen psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... #psych

Another notch in the Dead Internet Theory's belt: Now the majority of visits to websites comes from bots more than from humans. That is probably why every website is now throwing up captcha's to even visit. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-...

In 82,939 US/UK/Canadian adults, scores on perfectionism scales have been increasing since the late 80s. Largest component increasing is concern over making mistakes. From @thomascurran.bsky.social www.apa.org/pubs/journal... #psych

Referring to an economic policy as redistributing $ from wealthy to the poor lowers Republicans’ support. Instead, saying the policy increases $ for the poor or workers is better. From @davidbroska.bsky.social Jonne Kamphorst & @robbwiller.bsky.social #psych #polysci osf.io/preprints/so...

More preregistered cognitive dissonance without choice findings! Choosing for people makes them rationalize they like the task more. From @kurtmunz.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Deliver... #psych

The Australia teen social media ban is in full swing! 25% of teens are following it... And, teens view those who do follow the ban as less popular. Compliers report spending more quality time with friends and family. From Leonardo Bursztyn www.nber.org/system/files... #psych

Nostalgia doesn’t mean the future looks dim, that’s declinism. But inducing one causes increases in the other. Inducing declinism increases nostalgia & also decreases support for investing in AI tech. From Jianning Dang, @timwildschut.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych

Teaching DAGs sounds easy, until students actually have to make one themselves. A new tutorial lays out simple steps to make it clear and easy for students to understand. Draw process, selection, outcome, confounds. From Nathan J. Quimpo & Peter M. Steiner files.osf.io/v1/resources... #psych

A century of suicide shows its cyclical nature. Causes of death go up, causes of death go down. Suicide is much more cyclical. Overall declining But suicide has been increasing in men since the 1950s... must be all those bowling leagues… From Nina de Lacy www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #psych

k-12 tutoring interventions fadeout. But why? Meta-analysis of 42 studies with at-risk low SES students, effects fade not for methodological reasons, but because treatment group increases slower than the control group. From Jens Dietrichson www.researchgate.net/profile/Jens... #psych

LLM’s fail the false Muller-Lyer illusion, clearly it is because they don’t have carpentered corners! But seriously, traps like these can catch bots tin online studies. From @felipemaffonso.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jcr/advance-... #psych #metasci

We like to talk a lot about conducting more research in non WEIRD samples, but do we do it? No. 20 years of research, and even in 2024 our publications are still largely U.S. and Europe. From Alison Jane Martingano psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-... #psych #meta

Gen-Z is souring on AI Fun rundown on new Gallup data I got to talk a little bit about. In short, why shouldn't they? Companies are talking about not hiring early career people. Students using it to breeze through school. I use Ai everyday, and it is so dumb. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

'Bubble Hell' refers to online studies that are pages and pages of bubbles. They hate it. The term was coined by a redditor on the subreddit r/mturk on Mar 4, 2014. Later picked up by the co-founder of the subreddit Turkoptican, Six Silberman, used in his dissertation. Now an industry term. #psych

I actually hope I'm wrong here. We use the correlation (r) a lot. Test-retest reliability Prediction/memory accuracy Trait stability We should not; in a new simulation study, r is upwardly biased & doesn't tell you what you want. We show what does (Table 2). osf.io/preprints/ps... #psych #stats

Why do we think people who share 1similarity with us are more similar to us in other ways? We think we have an essence, & they share that same essence. But if flips if they come from a different political party (e.g. it is a one-off). From Charles Chu psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-... #psych

A threat to many fields of research wanting to conduct longitudinal evaluations is participants may remember their previous answers. Retest reliability, memory accuracy, long-term effects of interventions. We instead show people don't remember what they last said. doi.org/10.31234/osf... #psych

In the Andromeda galaxy, just one galaxy over, there USED to be a star. And now it is gone. Swallowed up by a Black hole. From Kishalay De www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #phdsky

We have written a simple, plain-language, no equations & minimal jargon tutorial for experimentalists on why you can't drop people who don't take your treatments or follow your instructions. with re-analyses & recommendations! with @samanthajamesbrown.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps... #psych

I love this kind of stuff. The oldest sewn clothing has been found. Shoes and hides sewn together, along with animal traps, found in Oregon. Made about 10,000 years ago. From Richard L. Rosencrance www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #phdsky

Best line about fadeout!

every once in a while I read a paper that changes me. If you do research involving between-Ss experiments or interpreting between-people correlations in any way (e.g. SEM) read this paper, weep, & don't ignore the implications. from Michael D Hunter pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #psych

Me thinking I like reading #philosophy until I get hit with a sentence like this. Seriously, who writes this, slaps it, and says that's good that's not going anywhere? P. S. this is a footnote calling to another footnote.

Here, we start the process towards global random sampling. We can't fully get there, but we can make steps. Our framework: Cluster random sampling, proportional weighting, BTS, nonresponse bias correction. osf.io/preprints/ps... with @miguelsilan.bsky.social @grinschglsandra.bsky.social #psych
