    Gender equal countries aggravate sex differences in personality to an even larger degree than previously thought, making this one of the best replicated findings in psychology. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ijop.12529 …pic.twitter.com/4wFEeP3rEd

        if you consider this to be one of the best replicated findings in psych you must have a really low opinion of the field

        It already has a handful of successful replications with high numbers of participants. Given the trend from the reproducibility crisis in the field, this should count as high.

        Don’t believe the hype. This is a cross-cluster comparison with N = 22 countries… Basically, with such a small number of clusters, country effects are completely unreliable (especially to estimate the effect size).pic.twitter.com/xAFEBjMx5M

        Another large-scale international study confirms: Sex differences in personality are marked and even increase in countries with greater gender equality. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tim_Kaiser/publication/326606965_Gender_equality_and_sex_differences_in_personality_evidence_from_a_large_multi-national_sample/links/5b589179458515c4b244a186/Gender-equality-and-sex-differences-in-personality-evidence-from-a-large-multi-national-sample.pdf … pic.twitter.com/XHsQcOE3WX

        C'mon, "aggravate"? ... "strengthen" or something less evaluative would've been nice...

        Isn’t “aggravate” a loaded word? It implies sex differences are bad. Use “stimulate” or “activate” instead.

        Interesting that the result had to be dressed up as 'surprising' and 'curious.'
