@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Nah. Just a social psychologists who knows where the skeletons are hidden and who has the skillsets to check under the hood to see how the sausage, whoops, I mean "consensus" is made.
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych The Sordid History of "Consensus" in Social Psychology
A Thread
1/n ending in END
A Priori: When IS social science credible?
This is when:
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Notice the absence of "Majority Vote." Scientific facts/truths are not established by "consensus."
Claims that "X should be believed because consensus" are social conformity moves, and should be a HUGE red flag that maybe "They do not have the evidence."
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Social sciences had a consensus that, if you remove stereotype threat, it would eliminate, or at least reduce, demographic differences in achievement test scores. They were wrong. FAILED pre-registered replications.
WHOOPSIE!
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych There was a consensus that "implicit biases" captured "unconscious racism" -- a claim you can still easily find today.

WHOOPSIE!
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych There was a consensus for the "power of the situation"- the idea that situations were far more predictive of behavior than individual differences. It was wrong. From this paper:
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych There was a consensus that, in the democratic west, there just were no leftwing authoritarians. It was wrong.
WHOOPSIE!
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych There was a consensus that it was really only or mostly conservatives who held prejudices; liberals were open minded egalitarians. It was wrong.
WHOOPSIE!
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Many of the errors are consistent with leftist/liberal worldviews. Which should not be surprising, given the makeup of the social sciences. Dem:Repub ratios at top colleges. There is a "consensus" about oppression&social justice independent of study results!
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Why could that possibly be? I can't think of a single reason.
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych So, the next time a "consensus" emerges from social science on some politicized topic -- please forgive my skepticism. Ability to cite a sheer "volume" of reports will not convince me. Reach at least the 2nd level from top here.
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych END, with some delicious quotes from the great Psychological Methodologist and Philosopher of Science, Paul Meehl:

New report w/@ncri_io out.
Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political VIolence.
Short 🧵Image
Link to full report, which is not that long and should be pretty readable for most people:

Lots of data, but for X, this will do. About half of those on the left in a national survey expressed at least some support for murdering Musk and Trump. networkcontagion.us/wp-content/upl…Image
Correlation table. Shows support for political violence is psychologically highly structured. Support for one type of violence strongly corrs with support for other violence AND with leftwing authoritarianism (don't tell John Jost, he thinks LWA does not exist). Image

You are comparing academics to pop-right writers.
A thread of academics on center/center-right/libertarian books that are at least as high quality as left critiques of the right (but beware of rigorous mortis selectivus: No, Virginia, identifying an actual flaw in one of these books does not make it "worse" than the left critiques of the right; that requires a full-on comparison of strengths and weaknesses).
1/nImage
@MattPolProf Wonderful new book. Debunks nonsense about a slew of progressive cause celebre's (Trayvon Martin, Amy Cooper, etc.) and "science!" nonsense like implicit bias and stereotype threat. Image
@MattPolProf Excellent book on the rise of authoritarianism on the U.S. left. Image

In honor of this stupidity, I thread here an incomplete list of the White administrators and faculty at elite U's that have been forced out for:
1. Ethics violations
2. No ethics violation at all.
🧵
Magill, UPenn Pres, just a month ago.
Bad performance maybe, but no ethics violation.
nytimes.com/2023/12/09/us/…
Thomas Jefferson University President Mark Tykocinski. No ethics violation.
His sin? Liking the wrong tweets.

Its worth remembering that, whether or not they "defended" firings, they denied that "cancel culture" was a thing and *justified* punishing targets & *implemented* firings, suspensions & retracting papers) with variations of "look how evil that person is."
🧵w/receipts.
First, the firings. When possible, I purposely chose some of the most obvious glorification of the firings. Like here:
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
David Shor, fired for Tweeting a peer reviewed sociology article showing that peaceful protests are more effective than violent ones at persuading people.

Dear Aidan,
Please explain how this ad is NOT in violation of U.S. and Washington DC (where APA, the society sponsoring this journal, is housed) laws prohibiting discrimination based on race.
🧵 ending in END.
The ad, shown in full above, includes:
"In service of APA's commitment to EDI... APA Publishing's fellowship program seeks to elevate leadership opportunities for ECP's (early career psychologists) from communities that have been historically underrepresented..." It explains:
"Such individuals include, but are not limited to, psychologists who are Black, Indigenous, or other people of color and ethnicities..."
