- Reposted by Ilari IlmakunnasCatch up on our Inequalities Seminar with Professor Markus Jäntti ⏯️ Using Swedish data, he shows that mobility looks very different depending on which parent you compare (mother, father, or both), which children you look at (sons, daughters, or everyone), and what kind of income you measure. 👇️
- Reposted by Ilari IlmakunnasFirst post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

- Erittäin hyvä ja informatiivinen kirjoitus 👍
- Tämä on erittäin tärkeä pointti. En ole myöskään varma, että onko tuollainen ennusteiden "väärinkäyttö" lopulta edes käyttäjien tarkoituksen mukaista. Mikäli pienituloisuusaste lopulta on vaikka muuttumaton tai jopa matalampi, mikä on pienituloisuusargumenttien painoarvo vastaisuudessa?

- Reposted by Ilari IlmakunnasSo there you have it, twin study estimates were greatly inflated, and molecular data sets the record straight. I walk through possible counter-arguments, but ultimately the uncomfortable truth is that genes contribute to traits much less than we always thought.
- Reposted by Ilari IlmakunnasI wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵

- Reposted by Ilari IlmakunnasThere 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/ >

- Reposted by Ilari Ilmakunnas👉 New comment out 👀 Garritzmann, Häusermann and Palier argue that the key problem of the ongoing debate is that scholars and politicians refer to social investment as if it was one single type of policy, whereas there are quite different variants of this paradigm. doi.org/10.1177/0001...

- "Social investments, in contrast, are usually still treated as one big box and as one supposedly coherent policy approach, which defies the complexity of reality and renders discussions unproductive"
