Happy to have played a very minor role in this recent work on analytical robustness by @balazsaczel.bsky.social @briannosek.bsky.social and many other colleagues: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Investigating the analytical robustness of the social and behavioural sciences - Nature
When 100 social and behavioural science claims were examined, 34% of reanalyses closely matched the original results, with 74% reaching the same conclusion, revealing limited robustness of single...

Will I remember this?
Individuals with high levels of compulsivity tend to forego using reminders to help them during memory tasks.

Transdiagnostic compulsivity is associated with reduced reminder setting, only partially attributable to overconfidence
Highly compulsive individuals set fewer reminders, partly due to inflated confidence and partly due to compulsivity itself, revealing how individual differences shape the strategic reminder use in dai...

The reluctance to use external reminders among compulsive individuals implies a potential risk for inadequate memory support, with potential implications for clinical conditions such as OCD. (6/8)

This suggests that while compulsive individuals may be overconfident, their metacognitive control remains intact, challenging existing assumptions. (5/8)

Contrary to previous research, our data indicates no disrupted confidence-reminder link between compulsive and non-compulsive individuals. (4/8)

Our findings reveal that more compulsive individuals show a decreased preference for setting external reminders, a behaviour only partially explained by their overconfidence. (3/8)

Our study, involving 600 participants, builds on the prior finding that people tend to set more reminders when they are less confident. We asked whether transdiagnostic compulsivity would influence this relationship. (2/8)

Our new study published in eLife (collaboration with @clairegillan.bsky.social, @celinef.bsky.social and @samgilbert.bsky.social) explores the complex relationship between metacognition, compulsivity and the utilization of external reminders. (1/8)
