      Some thoughts on recent psychology study upheavals https://www.vox.com/2018/6/13/17449118/stanford-prison-experiment-fraud-psychology-replication … Mostly this: "In science, the first demonstration of an idea often becomes the lasting one — both in pop culture and academia. But this isn’t how science is supposed to work at all! "

      It's also important to note and remember: Psychological science didn't end in 1980. There are plenty of people working, hard and carefully, on questions implicated in the prison experiment / Milgram electroshock test etc

      Findings today tend not to be as dramatic or shocking as these old tests (or perhaps, more accurately, stunts). But we can definitely still learn about things like why one human would see another as lesserhttps://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/3/7/14456154/dehumanization-psychology-explained …

      Also to note on the prison experiment, specifically. It was never really a great piece of science, with good data. It was more like a demonstration. Or, perhaps, an early version of a reality show. I think its impact is more in pop-science than in academia. (But I might be wrong)

      But even with studies that are more scientific, we shouldn't be so shocked when the early work looks different upon reexamination. It's how the sausage of science is made.

      And it's heartening to know there's a whole lot of social scientists thinking deeply about reforms -- So that the studies of today aren't met with such whiplash 30 years from now (though some certainly will!)

      This work of science reform is hard. I'm just thinking about all the spilled ink over debating the merits of p-values, the most common use of statistics in science. And it makes my head hurthttps://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/7/31/16021654/p-values-statistical-significance-redefine-0005 …

          Reading yr #ReplicationCrisis catalog. 👏 Beyond p-scores, replication, and not burying null results, anyone considering “pre hoc” hacks to incentive structure? Idea: Have researchers submit detailed experimental designs to a supra-IRB (or mobile app, whatever) for their field...

          Once approved, Study A is assigned to Team B to carry out; as they await results, Team A is likewise matched via qualifications and est timeframe to conduct Study C, and so on. Team A gets first dibs on writing up Study A’s raw data...

          But Team B is given room alongside any published paper to provide its own take—whether a one-line certification of the findings, minor methodological concerns/clarifications, or a total rejection of A’s interpretation as statistical sleight-of-hand or worse...

          Sure academics will balk at losing control, but they also effectively double their chances of publishing, not perishing. Most important, cleaving empirical fact-finding from theory/design/interpretation finally brings society’s basic scientific method to social scientists...

          It’s obvious for the same reason reputable journalists aren’t their own editors, smart developers hire separate architects and engineering firms, and lawyers who represent themselves have a fool—or, if the law’s as toothless as peer review, an incipient charlatan—for a client.
