I’m back on Threads again. Want to give it another try? I’ve found Bluesky on the quiet side, I won’t support Twitter/X, and supposedly last month Threads had more activity than Twitter/X. Academic Threads seems pretty quiet still, but … if you join maybe we can change that?

Harsh but… Qual researchers: qualitative research isn’t meant to be generalizable, and concepts like reliability and replication are positivist (or something) Me confidently: you want me to put stock in unreliable measurement of non-generalizable information that will never be replicated?

Hard agree. In both academics and politics it often feels like folks disagree with their projection of what you’re saying. Often the disagreement with their projection is vehement.

Two key trends in this small & exciting study: 1) Replicability may be improving, 2) Replicability of a study was unrelated to use of transparency indicators. This pattern echoes Klonsky (2025), which suggests the most critical reform is knowing “if we publish fragile findings, we will be found out”

Not sure where this is from, but assuming it’s right, there are clear implications for countering the replication crisis and “false positive” psychology: Insufficient sample sizes are a primary culprit, and should be a primary target of reforms.

1/2 Really appreciate this issue being centered. I prefer a reframe. NOT: Initial studies need replication. RATHER: Confidence in a conclusion increases to the extent it is supported by converging findings from multiple studies by multiple investigators across multiple samples and measures/methods.

Very cool issue on intensive longitudinal data, including a piece by @aidangcw.bsky.social and others on minimum sample size for estimating various parameters. Sometimes when we move beyond traditional self-report we neglect psychometrics and publish lots of noise. This work can help prevent that.

I think robustness checks should be a standard part of every Results section. I also agree they should be 'thoughtful', not 'brute force' multiverse. But it shouldn't only be authors who choose the robustness checks -- also the reviewers pre-publication, and the field post-publication.

I think it’s underappreciated in psychology that we establish generalizability of an effect not through some near-perfect ‘representative’ sample — but to the extent it consistently occurs across many different unrepresentative samples that vary demographically/culturally/etc.

There really are a ton of fascinating pieces in this issue! Topics include metascience, constructs & measurement, and LLMs. Particularly intrigued by the one on using LLMs for psych assessment — for curiosity I periodically have an LLM assess me in various psych domains, and it’s surprisingly good 😳

Agree. Odds ratios are a great effect size when you want to: make a small effect look meaningful, report a metric that defies intuitive understanding, or use a metric that will be hard to integrate with other effect sizes in a metanalysis. In short, they are stupid.
