I have an ORCID, but rarely use it unless required. It's not clear to me what the benefits are for scholars. What do you see as primary reasons to use? (Honest question)

Hi Maria, One of the positions says that it is in psychology. How broadly defined is that? Is it still focused in cognitive psych?

Great work, Erin!

Break your writing tasks down into teeny tiny parts. That way when you're sitting down to work, you're not writing a whole paper or book, you're writing a specific paragraph or section.

last year the NYT had a story about class and college admissions. I posted this graphic about the thing we talk about and the thing we don't even have a name for.

Last night Michelle Obama offered a name! "The affirmative action of generational wealth"

I wasn't talking about open science advocates. I said "some people" by whom I meant many of the people whom I regularly encounter (students, colleagues). My understanding was that you were writing about the limitations of preregistration and I didn't see that limitation represented in the comments

I totally agree with this perspective and do not think that it undermines the value of preregistration n general. But, it shouldn't reduce our skepticism of findings that are too good to be true, just because they are preregistered.

Some people see preregistration as a panacea for many/most of the problems in science. I don't think it would stop a Stapel-type person. So, while I think it is generally beneficial for most scholars, it is limited when it comes to fraud

A limitation of preregistration is that it doesn't prevent malicious actors from publishing questionable research. A motivated scholar could submit multiple preregistrations and only report the one that best matches their results. We still need to be vigilant when we see results that are surprising.

How am I supposed to get any grading done when they just added the entire series of Moonlighting to Hulu?

*taps microphone* Hello there! SPSP is branching out to Bluesky as we look for new ways to communicate with members and promote personality and social psychology.

Stay tuned for updates starting tomorrow and make sure to follow our Student Committee at @spspsc.bsky.social!

For those of you who at schools with graduate programs in psychology, do you require the GRE? If not, what criteria do you primarily rely on when accepting grad students? GPA? Post-Bac research experience? Rec letters?

Before you get mad at bad regression in psychology, you should know that the majority of US states and towns based their minimum required parking laws on these graphs. The result was the sprawling concrete hellscapes that dominate the US today. Some analyses had just 2 data points! #statsky

Also, Harvard wants to publicly post a minimally redacted version of its 1,200-page investigation into the four studies of Dr. Gino's. Her team was on board — then backed out, according to Harvard. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I tell them that if the study involves a p-value, then there is a probability that the finding is wrong (e.g., a Type I error). Thus we shouldn't use a word like 'prove'
