Thread IV: The Social Sciences are a Mess, Including But Not Restricted to Psych Science, and It Includes But Goes Well Beyond The Replication Crisis (in general, and not just for things political-see other threads for those).
My very 1st PsychToday blog: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
No, they don't. My blog is from 2012 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Paper on right just came out.
You (could have) heard it here first.
This one is spot on, but its also dangerous.
It is NOT an argument to believe in conspiracy theories or data analysis by your libertarian uncle who knows a little stat.
Its more like "treat scientists' with deep skepticism." psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Why skepticism about psych science? Here are a SLEW of resources, of veritable bibliography of SCIENTIFIC sources critiquing scientific findings and processes. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
If you have read the recent Perspectives on Psych Science special issue on microaggressions, you KNOW this is true: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
I cannot tell you how many times I have been told:
Not to call my colleagues hypocrites
I would have so much more influence if only I had a better "tone"
It is me, not they, who are biased.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…

If you follow science reformers, you know answers include:
sampling, generalizing, theorizing, statistics, and applying academic findings to the real world. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
An actual undergrad syllabus for exposing students to these sorts of issues. When I have done this, they have loved this course. #livedexperience (and high course evals). psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
In this SHORT thread, I link my four recent threads that thematically organized my Psych Today blogs. There are >120 and this is not all, but its a lot of the best.
Thread III: My Psych Today Blogs debunking histrionic academic rhetoric&claims about race/sex/ethnic bias, stereotypes & prejudice, including but not restricted to stereotype threat, microaggressions&implicit bias.

The Discrimination Paradox
This discovery is what began my exposure to how bad political biases in academia really are. The data are overwhelming. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Thread II: My Psych Today blogs on political bias and lack of intellectual/political diversity in academia.
This connects directly to Thread I, on the social psych of censorship. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Back in the day, I had *some* hope of changing the hyperpartisanship massive political skew and bias in academia. Silly me. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
THREAD I: My Psych Today Posts Related to the Social Psych of Censorship and Intellectual Intolerance
(this means denunciations, demonization, and attempts to sanction people for their ideas, not just "criticize" them). psychologytoday.com/us/node/115920…
New Blog Post now live: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…

Implications for policy and discourse excerpts to the right. 1/3
