New paper out now! We (w/ @rmcelreath.bsky.social and @gregork.bsky.social) start from the observation that among adolescents in Leipzig, the gender gap in life satisfaction has doubled over time and ask: why?> link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Why Did the Gender Gap in Adolescent Life Satisfaction Grow? Evaluating Methodological and Demographic Explanations

The city of Leipzig in Germany conducts large-scale school surveys of adolescents in secondary schools. While in 2010 and 2015 girls were somewhat less satisfied than boys, in 2023 this gender gap had doubled. Why? When asking such a reverse causal question, answers often focus on broad narratives, such as the psychological impact of social media. Here, we illustrate how to probe alternative explanations, such as demographic changes and methodological issues. First, we rule out that the observed pattern is a simple scaling artifact. Second, we find that the widening of the gender gap is much more pronounced among students with a migration background. This could plausibly be explained by a shift in the composition of the underlying population, with a strong increase in the proportion of Syrian students, and a relative decrease of Vietnamese students. Third, part of the increasing gender gap could potentially be attributed to survey mode: In 2023, for the first time, the survey was conducted on tablets—and unexpectedly, girls (but not boys) reported significantly lower satisfaction when surveyed on tablet rather than on paper. Lastly, beyond these patterns, we still find significantly widening gender gaps in satisfaction with leisure time activities and relationships to friends. Thus, there may be a substantive increase in the gender gap in satisfaction in those two domains that is not readily attributable to changes in demographics and survey mode.

Plot showing mean life satisfaction among female and male adolescents over time. In general, boys show higher levels than girls; from 2010 to 2015 the lines for the two genders are pretty much parallel. In 2023, both boys and girls decline -- but girls much more so, effectively doubling the gender gap.

#TodayinHistory #dataviz #OTD 📊 📅Sep 10, 1885 Francis Galton introduced the idea of regression (toward the mean) (In his presidential lecture to the Anthropology Section of the British Association, perhaps the most influential such in statistical history)

Galton's figure plotting the height of children vs. the average height of their parents, titled "Rate of Regression in Hereditary stature".
Two lines are labeled: Mid-parents and Children. Labels in the plot say: When Mid-Parents are taller than mediocraty, their children tend to be shorter than they.

Interesting... I was about to ask about Outlook alternatives for large institutional use in terms of security and user-friendliness. Sounds like a cool institute! Ours prioritises shiny campuses in former colonies and entertaining staff with endless redundancy rounds.

As an Eastern-European, I reject this level of cultural appropriation! All Americans have done is turn everything grotesquely large. Where I come from, it's disrespectful to refuse - and not to offer, in fact - bribes of any shape and size.

"The social replication of replication: Moving replication through epistemic communities" Sven Ulpts et al.'s new preprint: doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Since claims about a ‘replication crisis’ started to circulate, the concept and practice of replication have gained new momentum. Some communities have started to promote replication indiscriminately as a practice and criterion for research quality irrespective of the diverse research communities’ various conditions and ways of knowledge production. Others have identified a replication drive, which involves moving replication into various research communities. This drive is enacted by incentivizing or demanding replication and related Open Science practices, and forms part of a culture change strategy towards increased replicability. Here, we propose the two-dimensional social replication of replication framework. It describes the process of moving replication across epistemic communities and enables us to understand first how the diverse epistemic communities across the research landscape relate to replication as a concept, practice and evaluative criterion and, second, which changes it undergoes along the way. The framework’s two dimensions are adaptation and adoption. Moving replication into different research communities without sufficient adaptation may lead to a potentially problematic and inappropriate social replication of replication. We thus argue that sustainable and appropriate social replication of replication requires adaptation, or more precisely a process of co-adaptation between replication and a community’s already established technologies of accountability.

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives.

We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.
