I've got one, but one of the response options (three grammatical genders) was always hypothesised to become more preferred due to the intervention. So I code the responses as expected v not expected for the analysis.

Beats me. Could just be a knee-jerk reaction to consider any definition whatsoever narrow.

I've heard some people say that this precise definition is a very narrow one - whereas I can't think of a broader one.

Cheers, but this doesn't really fit snugly into any of the categories. :)

PsyArxiv doesn't accept new submission for the time being, so if anyone could suggest a preprint server that doesn't require me to jump through a bunch of hoops, please let me know. :)

Den ena norskkurs jag tog för tjugo år sedan räcker tyvärr inte till - även om jag tycker om att läsä norsk litteratur 😬

Yeah, and with glm in particular, things can get pretty weird when adding or removing predictors in this way.

I agree. I'm doing the analysis the authors think they did and find different results than they did. I don't think these analyses are *good*.

They make me frown, too! The context here is that the authors wanted to show that their results are 'robust' even when controlling for per-capita GDP etc. In actual fact, they controlled for GDP (not per-capita) instead, so I merely redid the analysis they wanted to do but didn't.

Positive trend between monolingualism and accelerated ageing.
Negative trend between per capita GDP and accelerated ageing.
A recent study purports to have found that multilingualism protects against accelerated ageing. I've taken a closer look at it, and it doesn't look good.

My hunch: it's not the # of those samples that are effective, but what effectively the sample size is. (Large nr. of people vs. Nr. of large people.)
