Hadn't seen one yet, so started a Relationship Science Starter Pack. ❤️ Know someone who should be in here? Let me know as we rebuild our community! go.bsky.app/fWTMro

Here's a political psychology starter pack. For scholars of public opinion and persuasion in the realm of politics. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Academics: how do your journal preferences compare to others? "Publish or Comparish" is an online game to find out (and contribute to research): publishcomparish.herokuapp.com?r=4bvQReYtjW... #science #academia #higherEd #publishing #psychology #dataScience #ethics #philosophyOfScience #xPhi

Is there an open-access survey platform that's like Qualtrics, but is free? Anything besides google forms? I'm putting together a list of research tools that increase access to the research process for people around the world (R, Jamovi, Zotero, etc.)

I can't support Twitter anymore. I was going to hold out until after the election, but not with shit like this. I am shifting over to here on Bluesky. You may see some personal posts sprinkled in with my photos from here on out. Thanks for being a much nicer place to be. I love y'all. 💜

Have you heard of the @forrt.bsky.social Replications Database led by @aufdroeseler.bsky.social? This amazing resource aggregates information about 3350 replications of 1093 original studies, allowing for easy search & meta-research on replicability. forrt-replications.shinyapps.io/fred_explorer/

I made a Starter Pack for people working at the intersection of psychology and law. Let me know if you want to be included! #PsychLaw #Psychology #Law #SocialPsych #CogPsych #ForensicPsych #ClinicalPsych #LegalPsych #AcademicSky #StarterPack #AcademicChatter #CLJLab go.bsky.app/KS4zG4s

Turns out, there are lots of us here! The first social psychology starter pack is now full and Mark just started a second one. Ping him if you want in!

Starter Pack for Social Psychology! Apologies if I made mistakes including/excluding people. I tended to go off BlueSky profile info! Just let me know if you want in or out! 😊 #SocialPsyc #Psychology 🧪

Okay, I've tried to pull together people doing (cross-)cultural research that is Psychology adjacent... (probably 50% anthropologists at the minute - let me know who I need to add or take out!) go.bsky.app/TtpHfij

Come do a postdoc with me in beautiful Canterbury, England and do cool stuff about the moral psychology of trust in AI 🤖 jobs.kent.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

Today, my term as director of the Psychological Science Accelerator — one of the largest collaborative communities in psychology — ends. Working w/ @psysciacc.bsky.social was very hard work. But it was incredibly meaningful. 🧵on the past 3 years and the future of big team science

The @quantitude.bsky.social episode on probability inspired me to create a visual demo of the Monty Hall problem.   What’s the Monty Hall problem? It’s a probability scenario based on a 1960s gameshow. What’s fascinating is that the solution contradicts people’s intuitions about chance.   /1

"Recherche scientifique et sexisme" sur France Inter ce matin. Excellentes interventions de Aude Bernheim & Alexandra Palt. Rempli de concepts de psychologie sociale - j'espère que France Inter reviendra dessus en invitant un.e expert.e de la discipline !

PhD or Post-doc Position on Intergroup Criticism at the University of Salzburg Why do we reject outsider’s criticism while we are quite open towards the same criticism from within the group? #PhDSky #SocialPsyc #Psychology #PsychJobs

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

Interested in doing a PhD in social psychology of inequality? Apply to work with the brilliant (and kind) Matt Easterbrook!

New preprint! How often do editors/reviewers actually compare preregistrations to the reporting in the article? Almost never. This figure sums up all of the results. Not good.

Info to share with any colleagues still having an account there.

At a recent lab meeting, a question came up about frequency and amount of publication bonuses for academics depending on area of research, country and type/level of institution. Where I work, no such thing. Curious to know what it's actually like elsewhere. #PsychSciSky #Socialpsych #AcademicSky

The organizers of the SPSP LGBTIQ+ pre-conference and a diversity session are raising funds to enable co-organizers from marginalized global regions (including Africa, Asia, and Latin America) to attend SPSP in person. I'm not an SPSP member, but I've donated! Please share and donate if you can.

Social/political psychology friends, consider applying to this professorship position in conflict research and socialization at Bielefeld University and working with us in the IKG (Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence)! www.uni-bielefeld.de/uni/karriere...

Prejudice Against Social Science "Group membership in the more prestigious hard sciences is related to a stronger tendency to downplay the intellectual contribution of social science disciplines compared to other hard science disciplines." #MetaSci #PhilSci #AcademicSky 🧪

= Recruiting peer reviewers for mass replications project = I'm running replications & extensions of classics in JDM & social psychology in this year's RPg methods class. Students write Registered Reports aimed for PCIRR. First drafts are ready, join and help us improve! 🧵👇

A great initiative is happening: the launch of the African Reproducibility Network (AREN). Please take a moment to register in advance using the link below: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Make your open materials actually accessible! The need for this recommendation is so frustrating. The frequency of journals and authors "open washing" by making open science claims but having a bunch of broken links is arguably worse than not having transparency at all. #metascience

I'm so happy to be selected as a finalist for the Einstein Foundation Early Career Award for Promoting Quality in Research with @forrt.bsky.social folks 🥳🙌🎉 @helenahartmann.bsky.social @leticiarmicheli.bsky.social @aufdroeseler.bsky.social @bethaniley.com berlinscienceweek.com/event/early-...

It's not just p-values that get hacked. We added a 3rd large dataset to our preprint: APA PsycTests. 67512 Cronbach's alphas from 60491 scales again show excesses at the .70 rule of thumb threshold. osf.io/preprints/psya… @malte.the100.ci @ruben.the100.ci @taymalsalti.bsky.social & Frank Bosco

Is there an empirical word to explain establishing a pre-causal relationship, but from a blame-perspective? For example, during the 2020 election cycle, Trump often stated, “if I lose this election, then it is because Democrats stole/rigged it.” I am trying to find a literature on this.

Check this out! Evidence on the difference that open methods & high power make for replication rates ⏬⏬⏬

So nobody has actually replicated McGuire's original psychological inoculation experiment from the '60s. A team just did in 2023 (60 years on) b/c he was ahead of his time & deposited materials. Turns out to be a robust & reliable finding in social psychology! econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/10.1027/...

In our new preprint led by Bernt Glaser, we introduce the ESDist R package for calculating field-specific effect size distributions for better understanding the magnitude of study results and for planning new studies using power analysis. Let me walk you through it... osf.io/preprints/ps...

New article in Nature Human Behavior co-led by Aaron Nichols! In a Registered Report, we ran a field study to test whether images of organizational diversity impact the quality and quantity of applicants from majority and minority groups. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
