I really like @randalljellis.bsky.social's conversations for being about things that you would not read in a paper and I was honored to be one of his guests. We talked about replications, publishing, research assesment, @r2journal.bsky.social, @forrt.bsky.social, power posing, and many more things.

⚽ Can humans beat AI at forecasting the World Cup? @rezlescu.bsky.social and I are launching Forecast 2026, a live research study comparing real-life, real-time human predictions about World Cup matches with those of AI models. Join our study at: forecast2026.com

Representing possible alternatives lies at the heart of moral judgment. As LLMs become embedded in our reasoning processes, they change the set of alternatives we bring to mind. 💭 Our #CogSci2026 paper shows that AI might be making us judge people harsher. ⚖️ osf.io/preprints/ps...

Dear colleagues - we want to better understand perceptions of data fraud and its detection and need your support! Are you currently a #researcher in #psych (or related fields) working with #data?

Nice bluesky tool!

Next Wednesday (Feb 11th) Dr @thecomplexbrain.bsky.social will join to guide us on how to uncover cognitive processes from open-text box data (full details: surl.li/mqtofs). All welcome (in person)!

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

Don't you f**king dare.

Researchers often present participants with stimuli that are assumed to reliably and exclusively evoke one, and only one, emotion category. This study shows that this is rarely the case for some widely used stimuli. doi.org/10.1037/emo0...

I built a basic shiny app to check doi's (with help of LLM, Claude Opus). The use case is for when students submit work with fabricated references (I used to randomly check, this will systematically check). Note it comes with no warranties,... . tvpollet.github.io/2026-01-30-D...

Highly recommend Replication Games! Key takeaways: 1. Great way to learn about other psych methods 2. Improve on stats 3. More enjoyable with others 4. Realised my own code needs improving after being on the other side of a paper (replicating) Thanks @fialalenka.bsky.social @rujoanna.bsky.social

The Iowa Gambling Task is an extreme example of Jingle Fallacy and schmeasurement. In 100 articles we found 244 different ways of scoring it, 177 were never reused. Correlations between them range -.99 to .99. At the same time, we show meta-analyses combine these results as if they’re equivalent.

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

This paper in Management Science has been cited more than 6,000 times. Wall Street execs, top govt officials, and even a former U.S. Vice President have all referenced it. It’s fatally flawed, and the scholarly community refuses to do anything about it. statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/01/22/a...

Most popular decision-making models assume that cognitive processes are static over time. In our new paper in Psych Review, we offer a simple extension to evidence accumulation models that lets researchers account for systematic changes in parameters across time 📈 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Misinformation research has a causality problem: lab experiments are limited; observational studies confounded. We used causal inference on 9.9M tweets, quantifying effects in the wild while blocking backdoor paths. Does misinfo get higher engagement? Are following discussions more emotional? 🧵

Further robust evidence suggesting green nudges at the individual level are unlikely to make a difference. As we recently suggested, it is time to abandon the prevailing success focus and rather think of this body of evidence as pointing to the many structural constraints people are facing, and
