I dont think thats a realistic concern if you just browse the home page. It's a funny headline, but not super diagnostic

Fun paper in Journal Club today, from 1954

Participants were not given the questions but had to answer in standard multiple choice, agree/disagree, True/False, etc.

I guess in 1954 the review process was a lot more expedient.

To any lawyers who may see this.

Such good user interface for interacting wth .PDF

You say what you are doing: reading, editing etc.
Related tools are available.

I got sick (again) of Adobe, winner so far: pdf.easeus.com

I mean it in classical social psych type of way.

The way Lee Ross would have used it.

You think a phenomenon is true, and run a memorable experiment to demonstrate it.

e.g., from Ross 2018 J Persp article:

It's surprising that alpha<1 here.

There is a famous article titled:
"How to show 9 is bigger than 221"...

It critiques between-subject comparisons.

Not enough people know the result is artifactual.
You only get it when using a 1-10 scale (!)
So people say "well, 9 is 9 big".

Change scale, no effect.

Is this definition as bad it seems to me?

At a recent marketing conference I gave the talk "Catching up to Psychology in Credibility". Slide from that talk:

I think this is less satisfactory because you need to navigate your way to each item to see the description. If you have list of lists as output, or large objects, that can become tough.

Or is there an easy way to see all descriptions for list objects in an orderly fashion?

I have started doing something when writing R functions I wished other people did for their functions.

The function's output is a list where the last object is a 'table of contents' for all other items in the list.

A bit of an evergreen.

When power is x%, the share of p&lt;.01 among p&lt;.05 results is approximately x%

R Code:
ncp=seq(0,4,.01)
power05 =(1-pt(qt(.975,df=5000),df=5000,ncp=ncp)) power01 = (1-t(qt(.995,df=5000),df=5000,ncp=ncp)) share01 = power01/power05
