📌 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.

We've published an update & redesign to our page at @OurWorldInData on Suicides, with some highlights:

• Suicide rates vary worldwide
• Suicide rates have declined in many countries
• Deaths by suicide are under-reported in many countries

And yet, it's still by far the authors' most cited paper and got one of them tenure at Stanford. https://twitter.com/StuartJRitchie/status/1642514012121210883

Remember the "hungry judges" study, which has now been included in two huge bestselling books by Daniel Kahneman (among many other places)?

Now we have another relevant study, and it reminds us that the original one was just too good to be true: https://inews.co.uk/news/do-judges-give-out-tougher-sentences-when-hungry-the-story-behind-a-study-too-good-to-be-true-2238347

The proportions reported in the article don't consider the variation within individual papers.

Reanalysing their data from OSF:

Individual articles range from 0-50% somewhat inaccurate or entirely false citations!

RT @ianhussey
Are citations in the psychology literature accurate? Did the work cited actually support the claim made in the citing work?

Across 3347 citations in 8 leading psych journals, 9.3% of citations were partially inaccurate & 9.5% were entirely false.

BUT:

Terrible to see the many reports about rising suicide rates among young people in the US.

I wanted to see whether this is also happening in other countries.
In many other countries it isn't happening, and rates are mostly constant or falling

A recent, careful study came out in the AER showing that the Facebook rollout to colleges hurt mental health. So I looked at the aggregate data to see if this showed up in overall trends and there’s nothing!

By 2008 FB is open to the public but no change in aggregate outcomes

People are terrible at placing themselves on the income distribution, almost everyone underestimates their relative income.

Considering the importance of peer review for the accumulation of knowledge, and individual career trajectories, it is baffling how little structure and standardised training exists. As such, this looks like a fantastic resource! https://twitter.com/SchiavoneSays/status/1638318180979408898

Interesting finding by @DelwenFranzen and her team: large variation in research waste between German universities.

- Wurzburg published 87% of clinical trials
- Aachen only 50% (!!!)

Have a look at the dashboard:

I've changed my mind, Bem was right, we can feel the future.

It's the only explanation for how many authors I have contacted with a data sharing request have "recently wiped their laptop and lost that data".

Data wiping reliably precedes data requests: precognition is real
