      Meanwhile, we see publication bias *for* studies demonstrating stereotype threat https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/685257134922006528 … and linking videogames to aggression https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/878031781198417923 … Psychology tells us a lot... about how psychologists want the world to be!

          I don’t put all the blame on psychologists. There is immense pressure to get published in ‘respected’ journals who have full discretion on which papers they accept. Topics favoured by these journals obviously have a lot of influence when academics choose a research topic.

          when you want to be anm activist, leave academia. You're making it rot by producing junk AND you don't get to make it real...

          "Psychology tells us a lot... about how psychologists want the world to be!" Great quote, might as well make it People tells us a lot about how they want the world to be! It is just some can hide their biases better than others!

          No. Peterson has talked extensively about the Matthew principle and about how we should look for solutions to help people who can't do well on society... Just not Marxist solutions. It certainly didn't work here in Vemezuela.

          I've joked with a friend a few times that we should make a nature documentary on the sociology of sociologists.
