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/ >
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.

I want to comment on a piece of research that came to my attention yesterday that I think is a reflection of endemic problems in our field. The study was published in a top-tier journal and was covered by the national press. It had a very large sample (N>30,000) and several yearly time points.

Who’s with me? #PeerReview ensures the integrity of scientific knowledge.
Science isn’t social media, and it’s dangerous to treat it as such. For this reason, I believe preprints serve an anti-science agenda & threaten our fields.

You can choose between learning how to integrate AI in you day-to-day research (Workshop 1) and learning about how to accomodate different analysis pathways in one research project (Workshop 2).
