📢 Call for big-team science! plz RT
Our stage 1 RR at @pci-regreports.bsky.social, "Assessing diversity & representativeness of BTS in psychology" will start soon!

We hope to include all available BTS in this list. 👇

Had a great, thought-provoking time sitting on the panel about how feminist research and metascience are aligned. Our big argument = metascience IS feminist. It’s asking fundamental questions about knowledge, power, and credibility. We just have never framed it like this explicitly #Metascience2025

🎉 After 2 years of work, our #OpenScience guide for researchers in developing countries is LIVE!

Check out our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

We map the opportunities 🌟 + barriers 🧱 facing Global South researchers.

Most weeks I recommend to our Leeds @ukrepro.bsky.social network an "Open Research Friday Reading". Why not share it here, too?

Today I shared "A Manifesto for a Globally DEI Open Science" by @sakshighai.bsky.social et al. - important read for any social scientist ☝️

It's crucial to keep calling out the #climate destruction driven by the wealthiest. We should remember, though, that those of us with privilege—though less—also need to change.

Grateful for the chance to share my thoughts on responsible use of LLMs in psychology research @spspnews.bsky.social #spsp2025. Here's a summary of my presentation for those who missed it. Thanks to @ashwinia.bsky.social for organizing this panel!

How should LLMs be used in psychology research? 🧵

A question for the #PsySciSky hive mind - with the exception of @sakshighai.bsky.social, who I interviewed last week, can you think of Psychologists doing research with / about rural populations?

There are twin threats to psychology: the well-known HARKing (Hypothesising After the Results are Known) and the newly coined MASKing (Making Assumptions based on Skewed Knowledge). New paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social in @commspsychol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Psychology takes a global view Global research collaborations are seeking larger, more representative samples in investigating shared urgent challenges.

You may have heard of Questionable Research Practices and "HARKing" as threats to replicability.

In a new paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social, we argue that a similar practices -- Questionable Generalizability Practices and "MASKing" -- undermine generalizability.

So excited to see this in print! A manifesto paving the way for responsible generalisation and co-authorship practices in open science - with an incredible team of scholars!

Very much inspired by the benchmark Munafò et al. manifesto for reproducible science

Do we have time for slow research? Led by Dr. Samia Akhter-Khan, our team delves into three crucial questions shaping the way we approach research in LMICs.

Excellent article by Akhter-Khan, @sakshighai.bsky.social and Mayston on psychology research in LMICs, uncovering truths about foreign others is not the main purpose of equitable research, www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Although this was not conceived as a piece of “developmental meta-research”, it fits with this theme because its focus is on how current research practice could better contribute to meeting the needs and priorities of people in low and middle income countries bsky.app/profile/saks...

We find that relying solely on the diversity of countries creates an "illusion of generalizability", leading authors to overestimate the extent to which research findings can be applied globally and highlight three ways in which this is amplified – sample, researcher & methodological diversity

We looked at one of the best studies of temporal discounting so far with over 13k participants, 61 countries, and 171 authors that claimed that there is "nothing WEIRD about intertemporal choice anomalies". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Big-team science does not guarantee generalizability - Nature Human Behaviour Nature Human Behaviour - Big-team science does not guarantee generalizability

Do big team science studies guarantee the global generalizability of findings?

At the risk of not overgeneralizing ourselves, we reanalysed one big team science study on temporal discounting.

AI fake nudes are booming. It’s ruining real teens’ lives. AI makes it easy to create fake nude photos of anyone. Data shows an unprecedented boom in 2023.

Artificial intelligence is fueling an unprecedented boom this year in fake pornographic images and videos.

It’s enabled by a rise in cheap and easy-to-use AI tools that can “undress” people in photographs or seamlessly swap a face into a pornographic video.

Victims have little recourse.
