      From gender bias to media bias? A thread on how our study looking at adult perceptions of children's pain got misconstrued. A reminder of the importance of taking media coverage with a grain of salt, reading original studies when possible, and guarding against confirmation bias. pic.twitter.com/m0sn8WKlnc

      Okay ... one more thing that's come up. As noted, we found female participants rated boy pain higher & this was speculatively interpreted as evidence of sexism. If we'd found that men rated boy pain higher, I proposed this, too, would likely be interpreted as evidence of sexism.

      And that made me wonder if - without some additional building-out of the theory - this raised a problem for some views of sexism in that they might be unfalsifiable (opposite evidence would be seen as equally theory supportive). But one tweeter suggested that the finding could

      have been 'opposite' along a different dimension: girl pain could have been rated higher than boy pain (by either men or women). True enough. Suppose we'd found that participants rated a girl as experiencing more pain than a boy given an identical display of pain. One possibility

      is that headlines would have read, "Girls' pain is taken more seriously than boys' pain, contra sexism." Or, the finding could still have been interpreted as evidence of sexism: "Girls are seen as oversensitive to pain & not as tough as boys." So my point was just that, in our

      (2) we would have to have set up our hypotheses in such a way that, if the data turned out such-and-so, this could count *against* our hypothesis. By contrast, if, no matter which way the data came out, we could have found a way to interpret this as being consistent with

      theory of sexism, might indeed have elements that are unfalsifiable in the present context. E.g., the coverage from Jezebel (https://jezebel.com/girls-pain-taken-less-seriously-than-boys-study-confir-1832233139 …) seemed to just assume that the findings "confirmed" deeply entrenched sexism. But a single finding can't confirm any such thing.pic.twitter.com/7PEJ8n4EJW

          I wonder if the socialization of girls to express their pain vs the socialization of boys to "tough it out" might have contributed to your study's results. We learn we're expected to complain if hurt, and that boys generally won't. By the time we are adults...
