Maybe your texts tell you to "BE A VOTER" like mine.

It all started because of a PNAS paper that claimed that the noun form it increased voter turnout (relative to the verb form ) by 11 to 14 percentage points.

It keeps not replicating, obviously.

Most recently doi.org/10.1017/bpp....

I agree. Unfortunately, the OSF re-design isn't a big step forward. Took me quite a while today until I understood where to find the pre-registrations in my project

I'm sorry OSF, but did you involve a UX designer when overhauling your user interface? 🤦

Really enjoyed this clear and concise presentation of the problem with studies that throw 10 different covariates into a multiple regression and interpret them causally. So obvious in hindsight that this is problematic, but I have definetly been guilty of this.

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about significance testing in psych. No, p-values *don’t* become useless at large N. This flawed point also used to be framed as "too much power". But power isn't the problem – it's 1) unbalanced error rates and 2) the (lack of a) SESOI. 1/ >
aaronjfisher.bsky.social Aaron Fisher @aaronjfisher.bsky.social · 11d
But here's, the thing, p values and significance become useless at such large sample sizes. When you're dividing the coefficient by the SE and the sample size is in the tens of thousands, EVERYTHING IS SIGNIFICANT. All you're testing is whether the coefficient is different than zero.

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

If incivility means breaking norms, & norms are person- and context-dependent, *does incivility even exist*?

In the stage-2 registered report we investigate what drives perceptions of incivility
