Thank you! It’s been a long process but honestly, pretty proud of our approach. Not a type of research I do anymore really, but the rigour is something I’ve enjoyed doing and now showcasing! Thank you!

(As many of you know I've also moved away from these methods these days, this paper goes into detail why in the discussion) The biggest thanks to Jess and Alex - and QJEP! - for being on this science adventure with me!

Amazing to be in a position where we don't contribute to the 'file drawer' problem - we tested a reasonable question and found the best answer to it. Just because it was a non-effect does not mean we shouldn't share it.

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

What did we find in the end? The largest, most robust study, failed to replicate the effect of interest in study one. We found some other things in the study but the more interesting thing was being able to test a reasonable hypotheses and then fail to replicate it in a journal space.

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

For the RegReport we sent studies One and Two for review and said we will conduct a third (with a large sample size conducted at both UWin and again DMU). Regardless of what the results are, will you publish this robust test? They agreed! (I’m a big RegRep fan!)

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

We decided to do a tie-breaker study. I was then at the University of Winchester and access to a new sample. With Alex Jones' (Swansea) Bayesianising and analytical lens we pitched a Stage One Registered Report to QJEP.

100

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

The findings didn't replicate (see paper for all the ways we tested this). So what do we do? Maybe it's a South/Midlands divide? Maybe demographics of the University? Or maybe it just isn't a robust finding?

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

A few years later I had the chance to meet Jess Hall (DMU) and began to collaborate. She agreed to run a replication study at DMU in Leicester. Same stimuli, same equipment, but we had the chance to expand our sample and stimulus set. So we went for it!

100

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

But this study had a pretty small sample size and limited stimulus people (only female targets). I wasn't confident to publish this yet.

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I found what I'd hoped - when people thought someone was more threatening they spent less time looking at a face, but spent time looking at the whole body (I was doing a PhD on the importance of studying walking in social perception so kind of liked this!)

100

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

During my PhD, I conducted a study where we tracked eye movements of participants looking at people walking. I was interested in how social perception affected our gaze behaviour - do we look more at faces or bodies if we're more threatened? (A reasonable hypothesis based on literature)

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

This our new Stage Two Registered Report twice internal failure to replicate... What does that all mean - for both this study and doing science?

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

New paper! - I was wrong! We checked and checked again we were definitely wrong. And I couldn't be happier that we are able to publish these findings at QJEP - Satchell, Hall & Jones 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

As we note at the end - people should trust these findings exactly as much as they should trust ‘social media addiction’ scales ‘validated’ in the same ways 👀 (as in, please don’t 😂)

030

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Yes! Our choices were to follow exactly what others do when designing the same tools to make our point about current approaches (we have the reviews on the appropriateness 😃).

Was great to chat to Lucy and Ellie about the things I get up to at the University of Winchester in their podcast! As always, got to talking about effective measurement and open science practices - and how these things help us understand applied issues. lnkd.in/eKHniwaC

Excited to receive my copy of the new Corr and Krupić personality textbook - where I contributed to the last two chapters. Focusing on blending the philosophy of why we collect data and the practical implications (and the problematic history of this!)

#StringFigureFacts #1: The first known literary reference to a string figure comes from Japan, from a haiku in ’Komachi Odori’ (1665): Kazenoteno Itodoritonaru Yanagikana The haiku evokes an image of a willow tree weaving a string figure (itotori, later "ayatori") in the wind. 🍃

When in Vienna… time to hit the Freud museum & café! Picked up some good books (and saw some questionable inclusions of other pop psych books on the shelves)

Don’t sound science enough does it? There’s a useful insight here though - We can make sense of a lot of weird measurement decisions and preference for abstract experiments in psych if we note how ‘sounding’ scientific has been seen as important… (Making a joke post serious, you’re welcome 🫡)

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

PS that uhh ‘supposed to’ is uhhh doing a lot of heavy lifting… See our satirical paper validating a nonsense construct of ‘friend addiction’ as a critique of ‘social media addiction’ scales: link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

100% behavioural tasks get away with a lot. If you want to develop a questionnaire, you (are by field norms supposed to) have a strict norming and validation process. But if make a game on a computer and call it ‘aggression’ or ‘subconscious’ behaviour, you don’t need to. 🤷‍♂️.

There wasn’t even a good mechanism as far as I could. An inbox that won’t answer replies, and no human involved with it at all… definitely warning their profit margin eh? 👀

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 29/04/2024

Springer Nature has a new proof editor and it’s slow, buggy, and seems to be automated. You can’t add text clarifications to editing comments and it can’t read tables, it replaced all ‘-‘ signs with blanks or ‘?’. Clearly adds value to remove the direction of effects…

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 04/03/2024

#Rstats help. Have a reviewer who is very specific and wants us to report tests for linearity, distribution of errors, and homoscedacity of errors for all our glmer and lmer models. 1. Anyone seen an efficient way this has been done? 2. Code for B-P like tests for lmer objects?

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/12/2023

Appreciate this might be to do with methodology - we thought maybe first thoughts in open responses weren’t in depth, but our second sample’s open responses agreed with with the first’s themes in checking…

100

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 08/12/2023

We’ve been doing some work to see if reliably identifiable themes in open text responses reflect personality traits. Didn’t find much for media piracy (Satchell at al., 2022) and here not again for cannabis and alcohol use, risks, benefits, and legalisation (and two more papers coming showing same)

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 20/11/2023

Great passer with @bxjaeger.bsky.social @alexjonesphd.bsky.social @schildchristoph.bsky.social & Lopez. The whole special issue is great and worth checking out!

Liam Satchell @liamsatchell.bsky.social · 20/11/2023

We end by identifying how this could get better - more 1) coding variation within complex stimuli rather than controlling, 2) letting participants tell us what they think rather than constraining them, 3) making sure we don’t blur ‘can’ and ‘do’ theories
