Hankins illustrated issues with alpha and the GHQ-12 in a paper he recommended ( Hankins, 2008. Accordingly, I modified some Mplus syntax using Brown (2015). And Raykov (2001) as a template to compute a more appropriate reliability estimate for the RSE for my preferred model. Output that includes the syntax is here. Using this approach, I est...

My View on the Connection between Theory and Direct Replication – The Trait-State Continuum
https://traitstate.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/my-view-on-the-connection-between-theory-and-direct-replication
My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. My View on the Connection between Theory and Direct Replication. I loved Simine’s blog post on flukiness. And I don’t want to hijack the comments section of her blog with my own diatribe. So here it goes.

However, I am totally into scenarios that approximate the notion of a cri...

A Partial Defense of the Pete Rose Rule – The Trait-State Continuum
https://traitstate.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/a-partial-defense-of-the-pete-rose-rule
My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. A Partial Defense of the Pete Rose Rule. I tweeted this yesterday: Let’s adopt a Pete Rose Rule for fakers = banned for life. Nothing questionable about fraud. Jobs and funds are too scarce for 2. My initial thought was that people who have been shown by a preponderance of the evidence to have passed faked datasets as legitimate should be banned from receiving grants and publishing papers for life. [ Pete Rose. To my mind, faking d...

How Do You Feel When Something Fails To Replicate? – The Trait-State Continuum
https://traitstate.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/how-do-you-feel-when-something-fails-to-replicate
My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. How Do You Feel When Something Fails To Replicate? Short Answer: I don’t know, I don’t care. We have limited insight into what goes on inside the minds of others. More importantly, feelings have no bearing on the validity of any result. I am a big fan of this line from Kimble (1994, p. 257):. How you feel about a finding has no bearing on its truth. When they encounter failures to replicate. This is not my reaction.
