New paper in JPSP with dream team Erik Løhre, S. Prasad Chandrashekar, & Thorvald Hærem! Registered report replication + extension: desire for status is linked to greater overconfidence. Many thanks to Erik for initiating the idea and project! psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/ps… OA: osf.io/fyx9c_v1

Cognitive fatigue is assumed to affect moral judgment, but what about physical fatigue? Research with athletes and firefighters by Stefanczyk et al suggests it is unaffected: buff.ly/34KazhT via coauthor @mbialek82.bsky.social

Research by Milczarski et al into a potential foreign language effect on risk aversion suggests (a) there is no foreign language effect and (b) verbal probability expressions (“likely” v “70% chance”) eliminate risk aversion (!) buff.ly/N8Cvlhj via coauthor @mbialek82.bsky.social

For those keeping track of replication rates across fields: experimental asset market research is looking at a cool 21.4% replication rate. From @chrhuber.bsky.social & @flxhlzmstr.bsky.social & Michael Kirchler www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10... #metasky #metascisky

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

I feel a bit like this about open science. The reforms will likely lead to positive outcomes, even if we overestimate their ability to solve our problems (e.g., replication crisis) The open science movement got us to THINK about what we're doing. That's a positive spin-off if nothing else.

Santa awarded my for Christmas with an acceptance at #Cognition. In the paper, we report that groups are mor eutilitarain becuase they focus on consequences more, but just as much as solo deciders on norms and are similarly acion averse. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Do we cooperate because of institutions, or do institutions exist because we cooperate? In this @pnas.org paper led by @jliep.bsky.social, with @lfitouchi.bsky.social & N. Baumard, we develop a mathematical model that answers this question. 👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Do I know anyone who is in or from Bangladesh? I have a couple of cultural questions. It's for science!

Another paper challenges #dualProcessTheory about #ethics: doi.org/10.1111/cogs...#dualProcessTheory#ethics:- no effect of reflection test prime - reflection tests about #math didn't predict utilitarian responses - reflection tests about #logic predicted more utilitarian AND more deontological responses

Thinking about #ReverseVampires, here's what we can conclude: 1. They love sunshine. 2. They enjoy garlic. 3. Really good at crossing moving water. 4. Especially good at reflecting in mirrors. My CONCLUSION: The Reverse Vampires are just Italians. (📷: Jaak Nilson)

Methods and stats hive mind: I am aware of the Thomas et al. (2014) critique of relative weights analysis but vaguely recall another more recent paper taking a critical look at RWA. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?

I hope to never end up here at any stage of my academic career

Behind the first door of the 100% CI advent calendar is a new blog post! In which I hand out unsolicited writing advice -- with a focus on writing about technical topics in an accessible manner, but most of it is fairly general: www.the100.ci/2024/12/01/w...

Here is your reminder that one of the most cited papers published in the Journal of Management reports apparently fabricated results that the journal knows to be statistically impossible. It is the same paper that the journal gave an award to and refuses to correct or retract.

These two papers, taken together, really cause a rethinking of behavioral economies. Rather than having anomalous risk preferences; it looks like people have complexity aversion to "hard" decisions, especially on valuation, which drives behavioral anomalies. Herbert Simon ftw.

MILF = Manuscript I’d Like to Finish

Never fun to receive a grant rejection. But it's helpful to get useful feedback. All I need to improve is: - The quality of the applicant - My research vision - The research environment

New #preprint! We surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries to find out: Where do they come across information about #science? How do they #communicate about it? We also tested country factors like #AcademicFreedom and #PressFreedom and identified interesting patterns 🔎 ➡️ osf.io/preprints/os... 🧵 1/10

Looking for a paper that compares effectiveness of psychological interventions vs structural changes (incentives/legal solutions) in behavior change. Need for manuscript revision. Anyone familiar with it? Please Repost (aka reskeet?) for visibility

Proud to share: my former PhD student Rafał Muda received the 2023 Prime Minister's Award for Best Doctoral Thesis. www.gov.pl/web/premier/...

I just received the University President's Scientific Achievement prize. It is funny to be among all those people dressed in historical clothes and at the monumental venue.

Can you improve art by adding an impressive bullshitty description of it to impress others (and boost the value of a painting)? We studied real gallery visitors for a year, only to discover you can but the effect is so small it's practically meaningless. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/NBVAN...

Dan Ariely discussing the replicability of his work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q0f... (start at 2:24:14) Was preparing for discussing replicability of JDM and behavioral economics and how big names relate to credibility of scientific evidence and came across this from 2023. Fascinating.

I wrote a critical comment on a paper about income and happiness by Killingsworth, Kahneman, and Mellers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... The location of the happiness plateau was assumed not estimated, the pattern isn't robust, and we need to treat this as the thorny causal inference problem it is.

Ok, let's give this place a new chance. Hopefully, it offers something else than sports and politics that Twitter is trying to feed me with.

A very common misunderstanding of meta-analysis funnel plots is that they can visualize publication bias, when in fact they visualize *small study* bias. A contour-enhanced funnel plot is a better approach for visualizing the risk of publication bias osf.io/5skuv/

A nice article on our work showing that higher frequency bullshitters are more susceptible to falling for bullshit (in the specific, narrow ways scientists like to operationalize things, lol). So, yes, you CAN bullshit a bullshitter! 😁 #CogSci #SocialPsyc #PsychSky www.psypost.org/2021/12/new-...

"last year one of us decided to run an ad hoc workshop at a research centre in Oslo, to try to replicate papers from economics journals. Instead of the handful of locals who were expected to attend, 70 people from across Europe signed up. The message was clear: researchers want to replicate studies"

I'm looking for a postdoc. Working on debiasing with a focus on language. Located in Wrocław, but largely remotely is also an option. Pay's better than prof, enough to make a living in pl. Please repost hr.uwr.edu.pl/en/assistant...

Not surprised that academics chose to embrace the social media closest to a paywalled journal.

“Harvard is responsible for the conduct of its researchers. As such, it should ensure that people who catch its employees doing their jobs poorly […] are not financially penalized as a result” https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/9/25/pierson-sullivan-gino-whistleblowers/

If, like me, you prefer to read stuff rather than watch stuff, here's the associated paper with R code doi.org/10.1177/2515...

No SPSS license? But you still want to be able to open and review SPSS files in an SPSS-like environment? Try out PSPP. It’s bare bones, but free and does the trick! gnu.org/software/pspp/

Depressed patients improving under a given treatment (eg exercise, diet) alone doesn’t establish evidence that the treatment works, because 1) depression is episodic and most people get better over time without any treatment 2) people also improve when given placebos.

Dont forget yall: retweet the shit you like. It is genuinely criticial that you interact with things on here because there IS no algorithm. I know you have the habit of never touching anything from twitter but you need to abandon it and adopt liking and retweeting en masse
