Psych Science (the journal) is broader than you might think! Do you do descriptive research? Or research w/ underrepresented populations or cultural frameworks? Or research on AI/LLMs for psych? Or research testing lab findings in the real world? We have a special issue for that!

Send your best work to Psychological Science! Four special issue calls: 1. Descriptive Research in Psychological Science www.psychologicalscience.org/publications... 2. Advancing Psychological Science Using Large Language Models www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

It's hard to definitively prove fraud, but this is a shockingly clear case. I cannot fathom a plausible alternative explanation. Dan Ariely faked data. P.S. You simply must read the actual post. It is absolutely riveting. Amazing work from the @datacolada.bsky.social crew. And, also, great writing

This was such a fun episode! Kudos to @andymasley.bsky.social for making a dry (yes pun intended) topic so interesting. We also spent the first half talking about effective altruism and its critics and a bit at the end talking about self driving cars. Plus I finish a bottle of whiskey 🥃🥴

Michael Inzlicht@minzlicht.bsky.social · last mo.

New episode of @fourbeerspod.bsky.social We had @andymasley.bsky.social on to the show to discuss AI and the environment. We got into data centers, effective altruism and TESCREAL, and whether you should trust a researcher based on who funds them. This was a real fun one! www.fourbeers.com/133

The show is taking a little break for the holidays. No new episode this month, but keep an eye out for a fresh one in early January!

New episode! @minzlicht.bsky.social is back and fired up about citation diversity staments. We discuss the much-criticised Nature Reviews Psychology editorial encouraging authors to include them in their articles, as well as Mickey's very problematic beer tastes. share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very cool discussion between @yoelinbar.net and @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social on when to quit theories, usually either too soon or too late Super relevant for criminology, where it’s rare to see any crim theory truly put to rest www.fourbeers.com/122

When to Quit (with Paul Bloom)

FINALLY got to chat with @yoelinbar.net about everything Jews-and-DEI. thecjn.ca/news/campus/...
