- Reposted by Amanda RotellaAn issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

We (@anniria.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci) built a search engine to check what already exists and help identify redundancies; indexing 74,000 scales from ~31,500 instruments in APA PsycTests. 🧵1/3

- 1/ 🌟Paper *just* accepted @ PSPB!🌟 Does moral licensing (doing a good thing, then a less good thing) really exist?? ➡️ Many failed replications. Why? ➡️ Using #metaanalysis, we put the effect to the test 🧵👇 Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... #SocialPsychology #Bayesian #Theory
- 2/ We advance that methods changes (moving lab studies online) have masked the effect because the effect is social! ➡️Explains failed online experiments ➡️ We test if the effect is interpersonal (social effect based on reputation) vs intrapsychic self-image)

- Reposted by Amanda RotellaI’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/
- Reposted by Amanda RotellaI'm increasingly uncomfortable with publishing my work open access using a CC-BY licence, as required by many goverment funders. Unlike CC-BY-NC, this permits the work to be fed into thieving large language models for commercial gain. Am I the only one who's unhappy with this? #AcademicChatter

- Between the US having been the powerhouse for academic conferences and research (with funding), and financial struggles of so many institutions across boarders (UK/Canada ++) the research landscape will not be the same. What will it look like going forward??

- Interesting -- imagining first- vs. third-person perspectives had NO effect on prosocial behaviours. ⛔ ...Adding to the growing body of null findings for intrapsychic effects, with high-powered pre-registered studies. #SocialPsyc link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- 🚨Whoa 🤯 Contrary to what I would expect - new study analyzed 11,537 NSF-funded social science researchers and found **no effect of funding on the quantity or quality of their research** over five years. [1/3] #FundingBias #AcademicResearch link.springer.com/article/10.1...
