me too fam

I'm very grateful to have received a VICI grant. I'll work on the meaningful interpretation of effect sizes in psychology. It's an amazing opportunity to be able to create a team to work on this challenge in the next five years. www.nwo.nl/onderzoekspr...

I’ve given multiple talks on Many Analysts projects that one could consider “critical”, among them one that contained this rather spicy slide critical of critics of this type of project.>

When I published that blog, I didn't know I'd become social psych's Judas. Turns out questioning our field's methods is a great way to lose friends! I spent years plunged in a despondency. Ten years later, I'm still skeptical, just grayer and at peace. Come join my midlife crisis.

Hallo! Wir sind dann auch hier. Senk u for following Deutsche Bahn.

Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers—in theory. But they don’t. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @cathleenogrady.bsky.social)

Adding a single principle to utilitarianism ("ok, but no galaxy brain stuff, alright?") and thereby perfecting moral philosophy

this is the face of a man who is about to end the bird flu epidemic by eating every infected bird

Causal inference iceberg! What's missing?

I have some exciting personal news to share: On April 1st, I'll join @ikmz.bsky.social at University of Zurich for a professorship labelled Media Psychology and Methods! I'm quite excited and very much looking forward to this new chapter and incredible opportunity!

Ich habe die kleine Anfrage der Union für @taz.de länger eingeordnet. (Und bin dankbar, dass mir die Redaktion "kokaingetrieben" und "lauchig" nicht wegredigiert hat, im Gegenteil) taz.de/CDU-delegiti...

I have written a new blog. Scientists at MD Anderson have been spending NIH funds on absurd paranormal experiments on mice, trying to cure cancer with magic. Please read and share 🙂 forbetterscience.com/2025/02/26/t...

A new one to me. Someone offering authorship of a paper in return for posting comments on @pubpeer.com.

Impressive new study by @ianhussey.bsky.social and colleagues: "An Aberrant Abundance of Cronbach’s Alpha Values at .70" journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Short thoughts: this is a banger of a replication report(s). Like many on EST, I read it open-mouthed before bed last night. Want to focus on one, very simple point: before any of this phenomenal replication detective work - the experimental effects were very, very, very large

Wow, this should be super interesting. Wait, no, that's his book from 2022. Sorry!

sounds good but i'm more of a Trends in Theoretical Sciences person

New paper in Psych Methods with @muhuahuang.bsky.social, in which we show that EFA structures that CFA models will fit well to many underlying EFA-like structures, i.e., models with many cross-loadings. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-..., osf.io/q2jw8

**d = 1.12** I wonder what kind of stimuli lead to such differences... Seems like an indicator that many detection studies use trivially obvious examples of fake news (?)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we'll be offering each attendee at least one free t-test.

New guest post! Excluding "careless" responses is a routine practice in many contexts. But if careless responding itself is an outcome of the variables of interest, that may actually cause trouble.

what if data cleaning, but too much www.the100.ci/2025/02/18/c...

Does smartphone use make people feel lonelier? Or does loneliness predict smartphone use? We combined experience sampling data with smartphone usage data to examine the bidirectional association between well-being and smartphone use over time. Published in @apajournals.bsky.social Emotion! 🧵 👇

New blog post! Sometimes, when reviewing a manuscript, it's really unclear to me what precisely the authors are trying to do -- which makes it hard to evaluate the work properly. So, here's some advice for how to ensure that readers don't get lost. www.the100.ci/2025/02/17/r...

This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

EU legislation requiring clothes be reused and recycled may be based on a numerical error in a 2017 NGO report where $460 billion was added instead of subtracted. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sus...
