I am an associate professor at Tilburg University's Department of Social Psychology. I have a website at https://vuorre.com. All posts are posts.
If you receive an academic grant, the outcome usually takes the shape of a series of scientific papers. But these don't always completely cover the question "so what have you learned?" In my latest blog for the Meta-Research Center, I attempt to answer this question. 🧵

Really nice website. Another great example of what can be done with open data.
Mimrock@mimrock.bsky.social · 2w agoSo, I made this. Apparently I write long posts here.
PSA If you're going to include a link to your / your project's website in a permanent repository (e.g. a grant website), make sure to buy the domain for at least 10 years so it is not hijacked by an AI adult entertainment company after your project's over. The link will still be there...
This is unexpectedly awesome: Zenodo allows reserving a DOI before depositing the materials, so you can include the DOI in the materials themselves. This is very helpful because you can include the identifier in the metadata itself.
We would like to thank 31 currently active PsyArXiv moderators and the leadership team who volunteer their time and energy to ensure that important psychological research is made available to the research community as quickly as possible. buff.ly/htX5xM0

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2w agoOh, that didn't take much digging. They asked people to solve stupid fraction problems. One group got to ask AI, the other group didn't. Then they took the AI away from the AI group. Those people started fucking off. The non-AI group didn't magically know it was time to start fucking off.
Send your best work to PCI Psychology (psych.peercommunityin.org) where it will receive high quality & open peer review free of commercial interference. We review a variety of article types from a wide range of psychological topics (psych.peercommunityin.org/help/help_ge...).
Peer Community In@peercommunityin.bsky.social · 3w ago1247 preprints have now received a recommendation from one of the 21 thematic PCI! Behind every recommendation is a community of researchers contributing their expertise. Could your preprint be next? 👉 Submit your research to PCI: peercommunityin.org/submit-a-pre...
"As programming increasingly becomes a caffeinated bender with magical bots, this measured pace and emphasis on communal thinking likely holds an important lesson." Love this piece on the development of Zotero. newsletter.dancohen.org/archive/the-...

So check out this PR from @gordonwoodhull.bsky.social over at Quarto 2. Is that import/export from Word preserving comments? Why yes, yes it is indeed 😮 github.com/quarto-dev/q...
Their pre-registration says they'll use n=848, and they therefore don't do a power analysis. But then in the actual replication they're down to n=224. They then say "This doesn't replicate" because p=0.19. But its directionally similar and they have one-quarter of the sample!
Looks awesome

Good talk. There's a lot of (over)thinking of this at the moment. Zenodo just works. (Until it doesn't when we and our bots ruin that as well.) Collaborate on GitHub and refer to zenodo.
moin syed@syeducation.bsky.social · 4w agoGave a talk in my dept. on the OSF transition. I wrote up a rough script of the session, which could be of interest to others. I synthesize existing resources and provide my own perspectives. Comments and corrections welcome! zenodo.org/records/2306...
I do like a good revolution, but here the thoughtful application of established methods seems a more fruitful approach.

"Replication crisis" reforms like preregistration & pre-analysis plans were developed to control false positives in experimental research. Does that work in observational studies? Our new paper in Sociological Methods & Research argues for a different approach. 🧵 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Super thread on science comms and how a study can 'evolve' over time. As she says "be careful with PRs"
Lisa Starr@lisastarr.bsky.social · last mo.Fun story. As I was a grad student I published a 1st-author paper on co-rumination in J of Adolescence that got discussed in the NYT (side note, the reporter interviewed me but only named my advisor in the story). Our PR office wanted to build on it for more press, so they wrote up a press release…
New paper! Despite qualitative researchers claiming that generalizability is not a goal, their published work does indeed contain generalizable claims. We document this and provide recommendations for how all researchers can better calibrate their generalizability claims. doi.org/10.1177/2515...
Papers I would like to explore: - Against SESOI: More arbitrary thresholds = More arbitrary science - Against value-driven science: open, team, or interdisciplinary science doesn't make your study more valid - Abandon "best practices" and explain your reasoning instead
1. We used a multidimensional cultural distance measure to quantify how culturally different the 41 groups were to the US where the typical hierarchy was first documented. The closer a sample was to the US culturally, the more similar its hierarchy of moral concern.
