My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. Hopefully) The Last Thing We Write About Warm Water and Loneliness. Our rejoinder to the Bargh and Shalev response to our replication studies has been accepted for publication after peer-review. The Bargh and Shalev response is available here. A pdf of our rejoinder is available here. Here are the highlights of our piece:. We still have no idea why 90% of the participants in their Study 1a responded that they took less than 1 showe...

Alpha and Correlated Item Residuals – The Trait-State Continuum

https://traitstate.wordpress.com/2015/06/04/alpha-and-correlated-item-residuals

My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. Alpha and Correlated Item Residuals. Subtitle: Is alpha lame? Building on Zimmerman, 1972. 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. I don’t see how what is inside the heads of the replicators in terms of their stance about Theory P or some other Theory X as relevant to this activity. 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...

My blog about research in soft psychology and random musings on whatever. Careless Responders and Factor Structures. Warning: This post will bore most people. Read at your own risk. I also linked to some articles behind pay walls. Sorry! I worked at the same institution as Neal Schmitt for about a decade and he once wrote a paper. In 1985 (with Daniel Stults) illustrating how careless respondents can contribute to artifact factors defined by negatively keyed items (see also Woods, 2006. I know there are ...

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.
