This is important. People still do this a lot, and it ends up being a back-door method of inferring an interaction (e.g., “effect was significant in women but not men”)
“changes in statistical significance are often not themselves statistically significant. … even large changes in significance levels can correspond to small, nonsignificant changes in the underlying quantities.”

The Difference Between “Significant” and “Not Significant” is not Itself Statistically Significant
It is common to summarize statistical comparisons by declarations of statistical significance or nonsignificance. Here we discuss one problem with such declarations, namely that changes in statisti...

I was raised super duper Christian evangelical Republican conservative, homeschooled pastor’s son, went to Liberty University, didn’t start moving left politically until middle of my PhD program and I can confidently say I NEVER questioned if the nazis we’re, in fact, the bad guys
this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

If you're into Doctor Who you know why I'm reposting this. If not, think of your favorite show, imagine it's been running off and on for 60 years and there are missing episodes that you haven't seen but they might still exist and this group seems like they can actually find them. Cautious hooray!

Pretty excited about this one. In this paper, we discuss the replication/credibility crisis, the factors that contribute to it, and clinical psychology's slow (really slow) progress in dealing with it. We offer a competency-based fraemwork for improving our training of future scholars.

If you're using (regular) cross-lagged panel models, this study suggests you also have to accept that causal effects are almost everywhere: Everything causes everything else. If you don't think this is true, you probably shouldn't use that model, because that's the result the model will give you.
We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...
