New post just promoted to Essential Read under Replication Crisis at Psych Today***:
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
***They either censor/edit my stuff or love it. More love than censorship, so I can't complain too much.

BUT: 1/2
If you click the image, under key points, it says this:
"An experimental manipulation in the study altered many dependent variables, making it unclear if the results are due to mindset differences."
That is NOT me, an editor added it. It is AMUSINGLY wrong.
(need 1 more tw)
2/3
AND I CANNOT REVISE IT. (email to editorial staff is out). A manip that altered many DV's would be good. BUT its wrong. The experimental conditions manipulated a ton of things all at once, making it hard to attribute results to mindset (or anything else).
Read post for details.
3pm update. They fixed it.

Shall we "follow the science"? A short thread of sources on Things That Do Not Work* to Increase Social Justice:
Trigger Warnings
Diversity Trainings
Implicit Bias Trainings.
*=Tests of their effectiveness fail to show any.

Trigger Warnings Do Not Work.
and likely cause more harm than they prevent (which is not hard, because they prevent hardly any harm).

Remember when Jeffrey Sachs argued that:
1. There is no free speech crisis on campus
& (sic)
2. The (nonexistent) free speech crisis was over?
No? (see below).
Thread 1/n
W/(dare I say it?) data that "disrupts" that narrative or (dare I say it?) a "close look at the evidence."
First, let's dispense with the "crisis" narrative. The term is both subjective and extreme. Has climate change turned the world into a flaming pit of Hell? Is Covid the worst plague humanity has ever seen?

No? So we're all good, right?
Sachs has also claimed "its not my fault, I did not provide the titles, the editors did it!" This is true, but so what? Why did the editors give it those titles? Because they believed the titles captured the thematic points of the articles.

Why Some Social Scientists (& Natural Scientists Who Dabble in Social Sci) Who Embrace Empiricism, Skepticism, Falsification, & Ruling Out Alternative Explanations in Their Scholarship Jettison All That For Social Justice
Thread
1/n
DISCLAIMER: This thread is NOT about social scientists who prioritize activism/social justice/"disrupting" whatever they want to disrupt over truth. I write about that all the time (screenshots shown). This thread is NOT about those people.
This thread is about the others, such as:
1. Professors of Medicine denouncing papers reviewing evidence showing affirmative action is ineffective.

Can't make this up. Given that "microaggressions" are defined exclusively or heavily in terms of subjective perceptions held by alleged targets, Haverford can punish people based on accusations alone (if microaggression=perception then accusation=guilt).

"But Lee, this is just another one of your wild takes," I can hear them denouncing me already. Let's see.
How did Nadal (the researcher, not the tennis player) measure "microaggressions"?
Did he assess the behavior of racists? No.
Did he assess behavior of anyone? No.
He assessed people's perceptions of what constituted microaggressions. Here are items from his questionnaire:

@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.

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."
