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? Perfect - please respond to & share this short study (7min): sosci.rlp.net/detection/?r... Thank you!! 🫶

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...

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

Really nice paper by @neillewisjr.bsky.social doi.org/10.1037/amp0...

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

Need to backup your Qualtrics? I needed this urgently given a revocation of my Qualtrics account with my former affiliation. Found William Ryan's R code, but it didn't work for me, so I made some tweaks, and it works now. Hope it's helpful to others: github.com/giladfeldman...

Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x

Just a reminder that this is happening tomorrow :) Feel free to reach out to me or better yet @joebarnby.com for a link!

Illuminating illustration of why folks need to be careful in discussions of the ‘replication crisis’ in science. Lack of replication may arise due to ‘hidden variables’ that, when revealed, are key to understanding the phenomenon under study. 🧪

In our now published letter in @pnas.org, we raise two wider issues for behavioral science: 1) Intentions are poor predictors of behavior 2) Effects on intentions need not generalize to effects on behavior We join calls for researchers to measure actual behavior: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Hearing a lot lately that since the UK emits only 1% of greenhouse gases that we shouldn’t bother cutting emissions. Truth is that over 90% of nations in the Paris Agreement can make that same claim. We are not special. All countries must play an ambitious role, & no time to lose
