Piff et al. (2012) fails to replicate. This is the idea that higher SES people are more likely to behave unethically. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Minah-Jung-4/publication/366903573_Social_status_and_unethical_behavior_Two_replications_of_the_field_studies_in_Piff_et_al_2012/links/63d03b17d9fb5967c2ff766e/Social-status-and-unethical-behavior-Two-replications-of-the-field-studies-in-Piff-et-al-2012.pdf

Including this new replication, Marketing/Consumer Behavior replications have been successful 11.4% of the time. https://openmkt.org/research/replications-of-marketing-studies/

Failure to replicate the "brain drain" effect. This is the idea that the mere presence of a smartphone makes people perform worse on tasks requiring concentration. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001691822002323

Great use of Finnish register by @CarolineUggla at #EHBEA2023. Testing Bateman’s principles in a context of low marriage rates but prevalent long-term cohabitation. Would be good to use more use of big demographic data in the evo behavioural sciences

Recommendations for #menstrual #cycle studies from @rubenarslan - avoid saliva assays (use serum if you want hormones), get frequent measures, use probability of ovulation (not fixed phase), allow for lagged effects of Oe/P. Big daily diary samples have lots of power.

More proof politics is personal.

When a Congressperson’s sons (but not daughters) were of an age that they could be drafted, their pro-conscription voting during war drops 7-11%… but it goes back to normal once their kid is too old to be drafted.

This would be an amazing job for a methods-y psych person (or a psych-y methods person?). Seems like a great university, in a country that is doing great things in metascience and open science, plus you’d get to be colleagues with @annaveer! https://twitter.com/annaveer/status/1646089773021265920

One of my favorite charts of all time (by @salonium):

“Before 2000 – when pre-registration of studies was not required – most candidate drugs to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease showed large benefits.

But most trials published after 2000 showed no benefit.”

So what went wrong? The authors apparently used the test data to select features. Obvious mistake. A reminder for everyone into ML: never use the test set for *anything* but testing. Only practical way to do so in medicine? Lock away the test set till algorithm is registered.

📌 Suicide rates among young people are also changing over time, but these trends vary between countries.

In some countries, suicide rates are rising among young people. But in many other countries, they are stable or declining.
