more nuggets from Gilbert and Fiske's handbook of social psychology. This from Wilson. At least they mention Bargh, but not sure this is good advice. LOL openpublishing.princeton.edu/read/the-art...

This is what psychologists consider advanced statistical skills. LOL One line of code in an SEM model. SWB by LS PA NA; Too difficult for the average psychologist. No wonder we are not making progress.

From a chapter in a book edited by Gilbert and Fiske. It is like Skinner talking about cognitivism. LOL openpublishing.princeton.edu/read/changin...

The book of abstracts from our Replication Research Symposium is now available: zenodo.org/records/1548... I had a blast inviting dozens of people whose work I admire to Münster and discuss with them my favourite research topic. Thank you!

A new scandal to entertain us this summer. What the failure of a superstar student reveals about economics www.economist.com/finance-and-... From The Economist

Pay attention to this ! Bells whistles flashing lights

Rodrígues, A. (1982). Replication: A neglected type of research in social psychology. Revista Interamericana de Psicología, 16(2), 91–109. Presents results of a program of replications of studies originated in the US carried out from 1969 to 1981 with Brazilian Ss. psycnet.apa.org/record/1985-...

It is time for the working class to take over the means of publication. #MetaScience #DiamondOpenAccess

Shameful bullish. What's done incalculable damage is a decade of pernicious falsehoods about immigration, while people who should know better refuse to counter the lies of the increasingly normalised far right. Let's tackle those lies:

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants 2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

Does ChatGPT help with students' learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking? We re-analyzed a recently published meta-analysis and found that the original conclusion is almost entirely driven by publication bias.

It is the week of the Replication Research Symposium! We have over 60 registrations (offline + online), about 20 contributions, and wonderful things to announce! Check out our book of abstracts or register for online participation: indico.uni-muenster.de/event/3176/

Priming research is so dead that when you post that priming research is dead, you get only two views. Talk about flogging a dead horse. replicationindex.com/2025/05/08/p...

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

President Donald Trump’s meme coin is already a thing that shouldn’t exist, much less as a vehicle for foreign entities to funnel money to the sitting president, yet here we are.

MAGA: Trump will never die. TRUMP: Never say never. The PEOPLE: Never can never come too soon.

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

ChatGPT is culturally biased. Ask it for any rankings and everybody is a superstar. However, you can change that. I asked for grumpy German evaluations.

#Metascience #Preregistration #Zcurve #EEG Open Science meets z-curve EEG research offers to many degrees of freedom for preregistration to curb unconscious p-hacking. "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vdstq...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up. @schumer.senate.gov

If JPSP publishes a z-curve analysis, but doesn't interpret it properly, does it have an impact? Chances are that this article will be cited as "The theory is ok, but studies are underpowered" I think the real conclusion is "this is a pile of crap" replicationindex.com/2025/04/27/r...

#MetaScience #MetaPsy 10 years of z-curve Tried to publish z-curve in Psych Methods in Psych Methods. Rejected because 'we are moving away from NHST" Jamie McCoster Thankfully we have Meta-Psychology to publish without bias and open reviews. replicationindex.com/2016/11/18/p...

What a beautiful z-curve, and in JPSP no less. Times are changing since I presented z-curve at UBC years ago. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Blast from the past. 10 years ago, the editor of Psych Science at the time recommended to abandon significance testing. Fortunately, this method revolution did not happen. replicationindex.com/2015/05/21/a...

After reading humanistic/eudaimonic psychology about happiness too long. My take: Personal growth is happiness for unhappy people. I don't need to grow (anymore). I am happy the way I am. :)

Make p-hacking great again.

These billboards line the streets around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

There is good science and bad science, and we can distinguish between the two. So, criticism of bad practices is not criticism of science.

Invitation to be a co-author on a caravan article on Subjective Wellbeing (SWB). Can we find some consensus about SWB, a keyword with thousands of citations, but a word with no scientific meaning? Here is a draft. Comment, contribute and get co-authorship. replicationindex.com/2025/04/17/w...

Want to feel bad. Ask ChatGPT to write a review of your manuscript as if it were Reviewer 2. 😭 replicationindex.com/2025/04/17/s...

I finally know what kind of social scientist I am. I am a psychosociologist, related to the bio-psycho-social model minus the bio. I have actually published in psychology and sociology journals. Happiness = f(Psy,Soc). P.S. I am also psycho. LOL

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Just discovered this excellent paper on mediation analysis in Psych Methods. The focus defining various effects; I really appreciate how the authors contrast the "traditional" approach with "causal" mediation analysis. Great job picking up readers where they are! www.researchgate.net/publication/...

#metascience #metapsy Why don't you scare them a bit by showing them that their practices are revealed in their results? Let them p-hack and we just adjust their alpha accordingly from .05 to .005 and all their work is nullified. replicationindex.com/2021/01/19/p...
