I am happy to announce the publication of our new work on the impact of arbitrary analytical choices on type I and type II error rates. We simulated reaction time data in a conflict task and analyzed the notable CSE effect in a multiverse manner. Worrying results: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Can large language models stand in for human participants? Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research. One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want. THREAD 🧵

Our preprint on our translations of CRediT into 36 languages. We've come a long way with this project! osf.io/preprints/me... If you know of non-English academic journals that don't have a policy on saying who did what, get in touch - CRediT may be part of the answer.

We often hear from reviewers: "what about demand effects?" So we developed a method to eliminate them. Something weird happened during testing: We couldn’t detect demand effects in the first place! (1/8)

This fall I will have a blind student in my coding class for the first time. Do any other instructors or visually impaired coders have advice beyond making sure my book has useful alt-text for the images? #rstats #accessibility Class book: psyteachr.github.io/reprores-v5/

New Limp Bizkit!! 😍 Don’t @ me bro

I wrote about this problem in The Death of Expertise. (My solution, despite years of good evals, was to have other faculty observe my class and give me feedback, even when I was senior and tenured.) by @rosehorowitch.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

For my workflows I expect the dictionary approach to be how this new feature finds its way to my plots. Satisfying.

PsyArXiv's amazing team of 100+ moderators has now approved all preprints that meet the requirements outlined in the updated PsyArXiv policies (is.gd/paxpolicy). Thank you to everyone who volunteered, this was a true community effort! #PsychSciSky

As a parent of a trans kid, the only ideology I know of is that people want to be allowed to be themselves and stay alive. It’s pretty minimalist as far as ideologies go. Shit is so dangerous right now.

Same here just a little bit ago! CVS in MA just set me up with vaccines for COVID-19, flu, and - bonus! - RSV (to keep it interesting). And coupons obviously work-- that $10 store coupon forced me to buy Halloween candy (it's not even October FFS) and magnesium (cuz my body is annoying). 🥳

One super useful #rstats package: pushoverr (cran.r-project.org/web/packages...) Send push notifications to your phone or computer from R with: `pushover(message = ‘your code is done’)` @pushover.net has a 30 day free trial and then a one time $5 charge for a perpetual license.

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area. If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can. Support your neighbors!

Really proud of what I've got so far for my Grad Stats course. I wanted to create something that could be easily looked back on or referred to. A lot of students are uncomfortable with R (and most of the stats), so I'm trying to create an open and supportive environment. dharaden.github.io/psyc640/

I see parallels between this emotion regulation research in clinical settings and in educational settings. At some point, more effort != success. Then, people need support and new strategies, not encouragement to exert more. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
