I had to look up events to know when they occurred!
I’d say the signing of Schengen and the Heysel drama are things I remembered.
The year after, Chernobyl and not eating spinach impressed me as a kid.

Reliability cannot be “good” either, unless the items show adequate properties regarding dimensionality, invariance and monotonicity of response categories. Just running alpha does not prove reliability. And yes, most measures have not been properly analyzed/tested. #psychometrics
A key point raised is that while questionnaires often show good reliability, validity has either not been properly tested or has been found to be poor
this means we know that *something* is being consistently measured, but we don't really know what that something is

I thought the FPP was on the shelves already but they held it back because of Stapel. Not sure if true.
Re open data, yes Stapel. I chaired the data sharing committee in Tilburg and lots happened there
