ZPID Trier: Junior professorship (W1-equivalent) Psychological Metascience (with tenure-track to W2 LBesG-equivalent) (f/m/d) leibniz-psychology.onlyfy.jobs/job/10kku5n7 #Stellenangebot

A 2x2 table with the four cells: I - “Default Model” x “Frequentist” II - “Default Model” x “Bayesian” III - “Bespoke Model” x “Frequentist” IV - “Bespoke Model” x “Bayesian”

So much statistics discourse orbits around Bayes verses frequentist debates, but in practice Bayes verses frequentist is often a false dichotomy. Just as important as the inferential strategy is the underlying model, and how that model is specified. 🧵

In many cases II's default settings are chosen so that the result closely aligns with I. Not sure why we should be happy if Bayesian results align with frequentist ones...

Amadeu Antonio: Todesopfer der "Baseballschlägerjahre" Am 24.11.1990 wird Amadeu Antonio in Eberswalde Opfer eines rassistischen Angriffs. Sein Tod erschüttert das Land und zeigt die Gefahr rechter Gewalt.

Amadeu Antonio wurde 1990 von einem brutalen Neonazimob ermordet während die Polizei zusah. „Die Baseballschlägerjahre sind nie ganz weg gewesen und in vielen Regionen kommen sie auch wieder", erklärt unser Vorstand @timoreinfrank.bsky.social was es braucht, damit sich die Geschichte nie wiederholt.

I'll be fine. #teambetty

Inhibiting and facilitating conditions of the h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ smile: a n̶o̶n̶obtrusive test of the facial feedback hypothesis (Strack et al., 1988)

Ok, way better than your first suggestion!

Rosenthal (1979). The file drawer problem and tolerance for null results.

Two skinny white cats sitting so that it looks like one cat with two heads.

New hobby: finding the right cat meme for a famous psychology paper. Example: Cronbach's 1957 "The two disciplines of scientific psychology"

I think you should make your entire bluesky account about hyping public transport. 🚋⛴️🚏 Greetings from the bus - it's not very fancy but almost always on time!

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Authority at the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Authority is looking for an applied statistician with expertise in Bayesian statistics or causal inference

Yes please! But with proofs ;)

formalizing this process is fraught. This requires a bottom up cultural change starting with doctoral training. Top down impositions such as citation diversity statements come with a lot of other risks.

In serious fall mood over here. 🍁🍂

Chestnuts, pumpkins, walks in the forest, please!

Frank the cat covered by a yellow blanket. He looks cozy but a little concerned.

Sometimes my cat sounds like someone forgot to turn off the vibration alarm on their phone...

Call for collaborators! 🧵

The TL;DR: we seek collaborators on a #ManyLabs #RegisteredReport about what causes rapid forgetting.

In-principle accepted Stage 1: osf.io/ahjn5

Expressions of interest: cardiffunipsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Further details in the 🧵:

It is a common theme in academia to forget that faculty also get paid to do research and write papers. Getting paid doesn't mean no intellectual contribution to a paper, otherwise unpaid interns would be the only authors on papers.

Join our interdisciplinary team that combines computational linguistics with cognitive neuroscience! Our center is located in the beautiful Trentino region.

Is that what they call a life hack?

🤯

Why is it that everyone on the internet seems to be so damn comfortable with prior/posterior plots using ggplot that do not use the same y-axis density values. Drives me nuts. Sunday rant over.

Adopt Registered Reports at Psychological Methods Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Help us show there is support for offering registered reports at one of Psychology's leading method's journal! chng.it/TwwnVBScVb

Three of my collaborators have COVID RIGHT NOW 😷 😷 😷

Exactly. Still his favorite shoes!

My kid came home recently and told me he is wearing girls shoes. I countered with examples of different kids he really likes or admires and who wear all kinds of different types of shoes. So there can't be boys and girls shoes. He accepted it and now they are his princess shoes. 👸
