Sur les applications de rencontre, peut-on dire que l’on croit aux théories du complot pour pécho ? Selon une série d’études aux USA, partager ses croyances dans des théories du complot réduit drastiquement les chances d’avoir un match. Le seul cas d’exception est que certaines

N. Bostrom est connu pour avoir proposé de trier les embryons sur un score polygénique de QI et présente ça comme une analyse de faisabilité, avec l'éthique pour "plus tard". Mon désaccord : il n'y a pas de "plus tard". Les choix éthiques sont déjà pris et enfouis dans les mesures qu'il emploie.

"Psychologists often see themselves as in the business of simply producing 'effects'. But what is scientifically at stake if a certain effect exists or does not exist? This is often not made clear." New preprint by Zoltan Dienes: doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Abstract Severe theory testing is greatly facilitated by concisely laying bare before the study is run the essence of the scientific process. (See for example the Study Design Template of Peer Community In Registered Reports.) Testing a theory involves testing a nexus of claims each of which plays an inferential role in deciding whether the evidence counts for or against a substantial theory. Each claim should be explicitly stated in a way that shows what is at stake in testing that claim. The substantial theory is the most general claim that could have evidence count against it - and ideally should be explanatory (having an internal structure that is not free to vary). Psychologists have not been very good at explicitly stating what claim is actually at scientific stake. It should be made clear what theory is being tested by each stated prediction. Predictions should be statistically modelled with a specified test that allows evidence both for or against the prediction. The study should be shown to have a size that could show the theory wrong. How the test will be used to draw conclusions for or against each theory should be specified. This whole structure should be stated so concisely and systematically there is no verbiage to hide behind - the skeleton of the scientific process laid naked so that its integrity can be easily evaluated. The structure can be debated, then the inferential chain nailed down as data collection commences. Researchers can change their mind later - but in full transparency of what is happening.

New review of methods to address demand characteristics by @ocorneille.bsky.social, Chloé Bernard, and @peterlush.bsky.social doi.org/10.3758/s134...
Demand artifacts stem from participants’ beliefs about treatment effects and motivations to respond in accordance with these beliefs. These artifacts typically build on subtle cues that exert extraneous influences unbeknownst to researchers, through processes that are not part of their stated theory. Demand artifacts threaten the internal and external validity of studies, and they have been supported across a wide range of psychological domains (e.g., clinical, cognitive, and social psychology, psychology of perception) and beyond (e.g., consumer research, experimental economics, psychosomatic medicine, neurosciences). This article reviews prominent methods used to address them. Our discussion is structured around Corneille and Lush's (2023) framework of demand effects, which distinguishes between participants’ hypothesis formation, motivation, and implementation strategies. We conclude this review by discussing three fundamental questions of broad interest: when should we care about demand artifacts, what is the best approach for addressing them, and how can we usefully build on demand artifacts?
