I have read this Response to my Comment and have written a Rejoinder, showing three things: 1. The multiverse is many correlated tests. 2. The randomization inference is wrong. 3. The trichotomous moderator reaffirms my point. I also enumerate 7 misleading claims, now in print in the APSR.

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

Reviewer notes: Odds ratios are really odd

When psychological researchers investigate binary outcomes, they routinely report odds ratios to quantify the strength of an effect or an association. This is quite understandable given that psycholog...

🔔🔔 Russian polls have shown ~75% support for the war in Ukraine since February 2022, essentially flat. New working paper with Kirill Chmel and @nikitasavin.bsky.social shows that number is stable partly because it stopped measuring what people actually think. 🧵 ssrn.com/abstract=711...

Exciting new contributions on scientific mobility and collaboration! The literature on scientific mobility and collaboration has long been paradoxical about whether scholars form collaboration ties before moving to an institution, or if they start collaborating after relocating.

Since paper here is nested in journal, those 2 sources of variance can be IMO combined to represent between paper variability. And even w/ this, we get a generalizability score (reliability) of 0.31 for 2 judges and 0.40 for 3 judges. You'd need 11 (!) judges to get a reliability > 0.7! 1/

🏛️ These patterns extend beyond electoral politics. We find similar ideological biases within intelligence agencies and the police, suggesting that institutional responses to extremism are also shaped by partisanship. (5/7)

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >

Interesting paper on how publication metrics distort research effort. The author exploits a reform in Thailand in 2019, which nudges researchers to publish in Q1 rank journals. Bunching at the cutoff shows that researchers follow incentives, at the expense of quality docs.iza.org/dp18680.pdf
