There you have it:

"Together, these dynamics suppress replication and cumulative verification, distort the visible scientific record, and misdirect expert attention away from epistemically stabilizing review." […]

Psychologists working on the #ReplicationCrisis

Great news for all the tech bros that have been putting on the same shirt every day - you can wear some colour now! Not so great news for psychological science... #ReplicationCrisis #Psychology

Oktoberfest waiters were said to perform worse due to their expertise.

New preregistered replication, 400+ participants.

Result? No effect.

Even Oktoberfest is not immune to the replication crisis. 🍺

A core issue is the prevalence of irreproducible research, especially in fields like management science. This "replication crisis" erodes public trust and wastes resources, questioning the very foundation of scientific progress. #ReplicationCrisis 2/5

Ideological bias in the production of research findings There is a robust statistical relation between ideology and research findings when researchers test a policy-relevant hypothesis.

158 researchers analysed the same #data on immigration, and got totally different results. Why? Their political views shaped their methodological choices. Even peer reviewers rated the most ideological analyses lower. Science isn’t as neutral as we think. doi.org/10.1126/scia... #ReplicationCrisis

Some solutions already: preregistration, sharing data/code, larger collaborative studies, and rewarding replication itself. But implementation is slow because incentives rarely match ideals.

I’m curious: Any ideas what new or unconventional approaches could solve the #ReplicationCrisis ?

Research retractions have exploded in recent times.

13,000 papers were pulled in 2023—a 10× jump since 2002. But here’s the kicker: AI is now fueling both sides of the arms race: powering paper mills and the tools exposing them.

Mentions the falling rates, #Covid19 #Pandemic and should be pointed out that #ClimateChange is also having an effect that will get worse

#ReplicationCrisis .. comes up

The reason why the #scientific #community aggressively rejects things like #spirituality & #alchemy & real #religion is so they can hide all the evidence and make it appear they have original thoughts in hopes wrll treat them like gods.

Is fraud consuming? Perhaps not. Corrosive may be a better descriptor, as well-intended studies harnessing fraudulent work then become fraudulent themselves, to a degree - second-hand fraudulence, if you will. Replication studies are arguably the remedy to this, but the #ReplicationCrisis rages on.

What Is "Nobel Disease", And Why Do So Many Prizewinners Go On To Develop It? One Prizewinner went on to believe he was visited by a talking, glowing, motorcycling, raccoon.

This is the authoritarian ridicule and gaslighting from #scientific #academia - the same gatekeepers that've been mentally abusing us since the 1960's into believing their ridgid narrative. #jefferyepstine & #robertmaxwell fingerprints stealing our collective truth

#replicationcrisis

Metastereotypes as Cognitive Structures Metastereotypes must be present to start the ball rolling in the process that is referred to as stereotype threat. In other words, a person must first experience the cognition that another social group has a stereotype about his or her own social group. Just as described in the stereotype threat literature (and in this commentary), certain contextual factors can elicit and make salient a particular metastereotype.

The article compellingly details how the core findings of #TerrorManagementTheory "flatlined" in multiple preregistered replications. This piece serves as a reminder of why rigorous replication is essential for genuine scientific progress in the field.

#socialpsych #psychology #ReplicationCrisis

A key takeaway for anyone interested in the #ReplicationCrisis (like me, writing my thesis) is that theories ultimately collapse not due to ambition or complexity, but because they "can't survive rigorous testing" and large-scale replication attempts.

Psydere is in a library. The caption says "Me: I'm going to replicate this study! The effect size:". This is followed by Psydere disappearing.

this is definitely not based on personal experience

2.1/2 It's a chronic issue to get reviewers, however, it seems to be that no matter how much one highlights the strength (or flaws tbh) of a finding (novel or even confirmatory #replicationcrisis), another obviously less carrying reviewer can affect the process so that the authors must be confused..

Critical realism, psychology, and the crisis of replication: A reply to Haig; Derksen & Morawski; and Trafimow - Robert Archer, 2024 The commentaries provided by Haig; Derksen and Morawski; and Trafimow vary considerably in how they address critical realism and its implications for replicatio...

In this article, I clarify misunderstandings of #CriticalRealism and defend its relevance to psychology’s #ReplicationCrisis. By challenging methodologism and proposing exploratory stratified contextualism, I offer a more ontologically grounded approach to #psychology. doi.org/10.1177/0959...

5/ ☠️This helps explain why many replications failed ☠️

➡️Recent moral licensing studies were online, where reputational cues are weak or absent 💻❌

➡️We need to be careful when moving social effects online!

⚠️Looked like the #ReplicationCrisis, but really it was methods! ⚠️

#Reproducibility - you know, that thing that gives #science #research any value at all - is also lacking in entomology, which is very important in the field of #parasitolgy. (Think lice, fleas, and Trypanosoma cruzi, etc.)
