Reposted by Thorsten M. ErleJulia M. Rohrer @dingdingpeng.the100.ci · 19/05/2025We’re back to the “hundreds of psychological studies cannot all be wrong, educate yourself”-stage of discourse. I recommend that onlookers to this discourse pick some of the cited studies & see how compelling they find them, wrt causal identification & strength of statistical evidence.> 913122
Reposted by Thorsten M. ErleJulia M. Rohrer @dingdingpeng.the100.ci · 19/05/2025Also, *please* don’t compare this to the climate change (denial) discourse. I’m strongly opposed against such rhetorical moves that try to cash in on the hard-earned trust that *other* scientific fields have built up. 2604
Thorsten M. Erle @tmerle.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Highly recommend this thread. Not only because of its analysis of the current study, but it got me thinking about how rigor and consensus building play(ed) out in the smartphone vs. the climate change debate. Scientists should consider which side they ultimately want to fall on and why. 020
Thorsten M. Erle @tmerle.bsky.social · 30/04/2025It baffles me that when we see these aggregated trainwrecks everyone goes "this looks unbelievable...", yet for individual manuscripts every second review I see is "the evidence is not consistent enough, probably bad science, reject". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 010

Thorsten M. Erle @tmerle.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Interesting piece... One the one hand, I because I am curious myself and because it is often also hard to forsee what will ultimately be useful for society in (psych) science. On the other hand, this quite elitist stance probably contributes/contributed to the current anti-science/funding climate. 220

Thorsten M. Erle @tmerle.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Resonates quite well with my experience reviewing neuroscience papers. That being said, the predictive power of theories in psychology/neuroscience is currently also generally poor, so the role of observationalism should not be underestimated in the current iteration of how we conduct our science. 011

Thorsten M. Erle @tmerle.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Alright, I finally took the plunge and deleted some more problematic social media. I want to give this one a real chance and try to be more active for a while at least. But I still find this place a tad quiet and would appreciate good, active follows for science/psychology-related content. 181
