Here's a political psychology starter pack. For scholars of public opinion and persuasion in the realm of politics. bsky.app/starter-pack...

One participants' initial results.

The biggest circles are the ones "you'd publish" in and the smaller circles are the ones "other would" publish in.

One participants journal rankings.

That participants' rankings compared to thousands of other academics' rankings.

Academics: how do your journal preferences compare to others?

"Publish or Comparish" is an online game to find out (and contribute to research):

Is there an open-access survey platform that's like Qualtrics, but is free? Anything besides google forms? I'm putting together a list of research tools that increase access to the research process for people around the world (R, Jamovi, Zotero, etc.)

I can't support Twitter anymore. I was going to hold out until after the election, but not with shit like this. I am shifting over to here on Bluesky. You may see some personal posts sprinkled in with my photos from here on out. Thanks for being a much nicer place to be. I love y'all. 💜

Have you heard of the @forrt.bsky.social Replications Database led by @aufdroeseler.bsky.social?

This amazing resource aggregates information about 3350 replications of 1093 original studies, allowing for easy search & meta-research on replicability.

Today, my term as director of the Psychological Science Accelerator — one of the largest collaborative communities in psychology — ends.

Working w/ @psysciacc.bsky.social was very hard work. But it was incredibly meaningful.

🧵on the past 3 years and the future of big team science

The @quantitude.bsky.social episode on probability inspired me to create a visual demo of the Monty Hall problem.
 
What’s the Monty Hall problem? It’s a probability scenario based on a 1960s gameshow. What’s fascinating is that the solution contradicts people’s intuitions about chance.

PhD or Post-doc Position on Intergroup Criticism at the University of Salzburg

Why do we reject outsider’s criticism while we are quite open towards the same criticism from within the group?

A plot showing prestige (impact factor) on vertical axis and fees charged by journals on horizontal axis.

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

Thanks for sharing! Inspiring thoughts that I will take with me going forwards in my own approach to teaching.

New preprint! How often do editors/reviewers actually compare preregistrations to the reporting in the article? Almost never. This figure sums up all of the results. Not good.
