1638202997770698753 | @ianhussey @JohnSakaluk @maltoesermalte @betsylevyp The author's statement implies that they don't understand either (a) how little thought participants put into responding to survey questions or (b) how much of the context available to the researcher is not available to the participant. | 0 |
1638201297970003970 | @JohnSakaluk @maltoesermalte @AaronCharlton @betsylevyp Maybe it's worth saying that my point is basically the authors' own point. I guess they see it as making this interesting, whereas I see it as making it not interesting. https://t.co/8SLiKwUPPI | 0 |
1638197877070520320 | @ianhussey @maltoesermalte @AaronCharlton Yeah, or check out others. Recent from same lab: https://t.co/dbQHc70OSL. Recent (and triple badger) from a different group (incl. @betsylevyp): https://t.co/2mthYnETPD] Of the two, I think the second packs a bigger punch with more convincing data/designs. | 0 |

As human mind changes every moment and we need to go according to their hopes and expecting targets. | 0 |
1636738426920738817 | @RafMBatista @lakens @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas And I'll add a third point -- everything should be reported in an appendix, so that the reader can re-evaluate and make up their own mind. | 0 |
1636738242643886081 | @RafMBatista @lakens @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas Second is the distinction between horizontal and vertical differentiation. When there is a clear quality difference, we should use the better methods. But when methods differ in potential for different kinds of errors, we should sample broadly and representatively, if possible. | 0 |
1636737854440108035 | @RafMBatista @lakens @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas I think there are two parts here. First, it depends a lot on the generalizability goals of the research. Narrow "existence proof" claims typically involve non-representative sampling of measures/stimuli. Of course, generalizability may later be assumed, which is bad. | 0 |
1636667523029508099 | @danielmabuse @RafMBatista @OlegUrminsky @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas In the end we will never know if in this specific instance your biases got the better of you, or if you stumbled across the truth. It also does not matter. Science (for some) is about a method that restricts fooling ourselves. Selective testing does not guarantee this. | 0 |
1636667125342298113 | @RafMBatista @OlegUrminsky @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas Any scientist is free to do exactly what you described (and sometimes, they have no other option). But they did not severely test their claims. This is something some value in science (and have good reason to value). Selective reporting is threatens severity. | 0 |

1636665636645380096 | I get that this is a charitable interpretation of what happens in empirical research, but I'm especially curious about selective reporting *given* non-random selection of measures & paradigms cc: @OlegUrminsky @lakens @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas | 2 |

1636666952558034945 | @RafMBatista @OlegUrminsky @lakens @uri_sohn @jpsimmon @m_sendhil @betsylevyp @alexoimas I would say that as long as it is in your interest to report some weights rather than others, you will selectively report the weights that are in your favour, even if you "believe" you are being objective. | 1 |
