What relevance does the replication crisis have for non-academic research, such as the methods used to evaluate social programs? In a new paper with Ben McNamee and Michael Lenczner, we argue that the answer could be quite a lot Article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... OA: osf.io/6hevp

Nice to see The Economist spotlighting our research and emphasising that we are “trying to paint a complete picture with both hands tied behind their back”. Understanding new technologies requires not just good quality and independent data, but long term and sustainable investment.

Refreshing piece by Amy Fleming in The Guardian, where I joined scholars to unpack misconceptions that disempower parents & young people around tech. Evidence doesn’t support fear—our approach shouldn’t either. Let’s pause panic & do better for families in 2025! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Indeed! How do we escape this cycle of silliness? In our paper we propose a constructive way forward. Pivoting from fear-based reactions to a proactive multi-stakeholder framework. Researchers, families, and young people cannot face the burden of being let down by policy and industry again.

If researchers are going to do right by families and young people on the impact of AI on mental health, we need to get our act together. We need to learn from the mistakes we've made on screens, social media, and smart phones. Quite happy to see our @oiioxford.bsky.social team's efforts published!

My first time acting as a recommender for the ERROR project. Huge props to the authors @erichehman.bsky.social et al. for exposing themselves to this detailed post-pub peer review and to Will Lowe @conjugateprior.org for his detailed review and reproduction.

Great to see this initiative providing these insights! Fingers crossed programmes like these don't depend on a few brave souls putting their work forward for scrutiny. I'd like to see this integrated into how funders evaluate the lifecycle of all research they support in the public interest.

Sammen med 33 kolleger står jeg bag dagens kronik i Jyllands-Posten, hvor vi argumenterer for, at et forbud mod sociale medier for unge under 18 risikerer at gøre mere skade end gavn. Forslaget om forbuddet lanceres i et borgerforslag, der skal behandles i Folketinget, formentlig en gang til foråret

Well this seems bad, a flood of lawsuits filed based on weak evidence, which in turn is driving how we talk about social harms… A lot of money, time, and energy is about to be wasted because moral entrepreneurs hate social media more than they actually care about evidence and protecting kids.

Generally happy to see this new journal from the APS team (www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...) but the name confuses me: "Advances in Psychological Science Open" Open what? Open doors? Open for taxpayer money donations for typesetting? e.g. RSOS is RS Open Science.

Warning labels for social media is the most "doing something because we're stupid, have no ideas, but feel we must do something" solution, so it's no surprise that it's Rob Bonta's best idea. Not only would it be unconstitutional, it would also likely do harm.
