Do you happen to work with data from the Integrated World Values/European Values Study? If so beware: there is a rather influential coding error in the variable on religious denomination (F025). Go and check e.g. Spain and Germany and compare to F025_EVS and F025_WVS @gesis-dataservices.bsky.social

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸

How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds

Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings
