This is great. "Corr≠cause" and "wild overselling" crowd where are you when we really need you? See the title? "Effects"?!? Three correlational studies, none longitudinal! (mini-thread).https://twitter.com/mjbsp/status/1034051652418977792 …

Emil, I crafted a reply channeling @TitaniaMcGrath. But I could probably get fired for tweeting it. So I will refrain and, instead, let her speak for herself:

Lee, I'm noticing a tendency in these types of articles that is somewhat similar to one of your criticisms of the stereotype inaccuracy literature: assuming 'pervasive discrimination' without actually establishing the base-rate. For example:pic.twitter.com/IhdSlR2rl9
But is hiring discrimination against LGBT minorities 'pervasive'? That depends on the definition of 'pervasive', which the authors fail to clarify. FWIW, here's some data on this question. You be the judge.pic.twitter.com/2p5xOJ8Kat
I should add that if the above qualifies as 'pervasive', one must proceed to clarify what the non-pervasive base rate would be.
Looks like the Black Hole phenomena again. How can they declare ANYTHING pervasive w/o a single citation?pic.twitter.com/IpNEO9sAGp
To be fair, they did include a citation. The problem (in addition to it being an audit study; see Heckam (1998) https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.12.2.101 …) is that the findings therein do not unambiguously support the 'pervasiveness' of anti-lgbt employment discrimination.pic.twitter.com/6lM5yRmFKb
And therein lies another familiar problem: the referencing of literature in support of a claim that doesn't support the claim ;p
Right. That is exactly the other manifestation of The Black Hole Problem.
