When you find a few typos in your manuscript proof 😬
ALSO: Get yourself co-authors that carefully go through proofs and find typos you totally missed
If you're really fortunate, these co-authors will also check the REFERENCE LIST for typos too
And they also discover that DASHES are inconsistent lengths throughout the manuscript

“Underpowered to detect what?” should be the first question to anyone who says a “study” is underpowered journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

And here's your annual reminder that a "study" cannot be underpowered, but rather, a *design and test combination* can be underpowered for detecting hypothetical effect sizes of interest towardsdatascience.com/why-you-should…
If you want to determine the range of hypothetical effect sizes a that given field can reliably detect (and reject), here's a demo with #Rstats code sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My guide to calculating study-level statistical power for meta-analyses using the 'metameta' #Rstats package and web app is out now in AMPPS 🔓 doi.org/10.1177/251524…

Here's how this tool can be used for your next meta-analysis OR for re-analysing published meta-analyses 🧵
There's been a lot of talk recently about the quality of studies that are included in meta-analyses—how useful is a meta-analysis if it's just made up of studies with low evidential value?
But determining the evidential value of studies can be hard. Common approaches for looking at study quality or risk of bias tend to be quite subjective. You're not likely to get the same conclusions from different authors. These tasks can also be quite time consuming.

Lots of replies and quote retweets to this paper along the lines of, “LoL PSyChoLoGy”, so here are two thoughts on this…

1. I’m glad the field is generally mature enough to actually recognize there’s a problem. Not all fields (or psychology subfields) can say this
When I was an undergraduate psychology student there was no discussion of this—all the studies we were taught just worked 🪄
Reproducibility concerns only started becoming a more mainstream idea during my PhD, but this still wasn’t discussed much.

“Nearly 100% of published studies… confirm the initial hypothesis. This is an amazing accomplishment given the complexity of the human mind and human behaviour. Somehow, as psychological scientists, we always find the expected result; we always win!” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Image
One thing I want to add: the psychological sciences need to broadly adopt practices that help us determine when we're wrong. The standard NHST p-value approach cannot be used to provide support for absence of an effect. This paper provides two solutions academic.oup.com/psychsocgeront…
Strong auxiliary assumptions are also required for falsifying hypotheses

Here are the answers for yesterday’s mini-quiz and a little info on each of these psych studies 🧵
1. The bottomless soup bowl study 🍜🍜🍜🍜

Participants who ate soup from bowls that were refillable, unbeknownst to them, ate 73% more soup than those eating from normal bowls pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15761167/

Here is Brian Wansink with the refillable bowl ⬇️ Image
This study has been cited over 700 times and won an Ig Nobel prize, but the numbers reported in the paper are… suspicious jamesheathers.medium.com/sprite-case-st… and there are doubts this study ever actually happened statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/08/20/did…

New preprint 🎉

Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) expression patterns in the brain across development osf.io/j3b5d/

Here we identify OXTR gene expression patterns across the lifespan along with gene-gene co-expression patterns and potential health implications

[THREAD]
So, let's begin with some background.

As well as being an oxytocin researcher I'm also a meta-scientist, which means that a lot of my work on improving research methods is focused on improving oxytocin research (that's what got me into meta-science in the first place)
Earlier this year, we published a paper, led by @fuyu00, in which we proposed that three things are required to improving the precision of intranasal oxytocin research: Improved methods, reproducibility, and theory.
