🚨Publication alert🚨 Housing discrimination undermines a fundamental right and generates distortions that limit collective prosperity. Today we are happy to publish in Social Forces an article on this phenomenon using experimental methods! Two highlights ⬇️ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

"The researchers [...] conclude that the recent decline in fertility likely reflects a reordering of adult priorities where parenthood plays a diminished role in life planning, and that these shifts are likely shaped by broad cultural, normative, and structural shifts." www.nber.org/digest/20251...

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 🧵

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸 How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data. www.science.org/content/arti...

Aus dem Beitrag: "Bei PLOS ONE waren nur 0,25 Prozent der Editor*innen für über 30 Prozent aller zurückgezogenen Artikel verantwortlich. Diese „flagged editors“ bildeten dichte Netzwerke, schoben sich gegenseitig Manuskripte zu und umgingen so die unabhängige Kontrolle."

Life satisfaction mostly declines with age. Previous findings (esp. the famous U-shaped age-SWB trajectory) were artifacts of misspecified models. doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

At @i4replication.bsky.social it is our ambition to foster a replication culture in the social sciences – and we hence welcome if our approaches are replicated as well: Replication Games on using LLM in experiments, in Valencia and Oxford. talkingtomachines.org/projects/ime...

Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination. Still, beyond "true ability", well-off (low-performing) kids get higher teacher ratings: doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...
