The argument seems to be, I'm paraphrasing, "psych people can't deal with complex stuff" which really boils down to "I can't teach them complex stuff". Taken at face value the argument is psych researchers are not clever — reality of course is not aligned really with that view.

I should underline that those proposing "psych people just can't code/whatever" are the most opportunistic in their negative take on students & whoever else in the field. They would never accept the same about themselves if stated bluntly: "you couldn't learn to code/do stats".

Yup, this is what I've heard from faculty as well, along with the argument of "if we teach them coding, what will we have to take out???" And "coding is great, but for nerds like us researchers". Cc

A lot of my difficulty is in pushing the value proposition. I'm struggling to convince some of the value of computational reproducibility, and the other benefits just don't occur to them.

Yes, staff are sharing their stories of changing their courses to include programming modules.

I don't want to speak for
@lingtax but from my point of view the challenge is not in creating the modules or fitting in the content. As you've highlighted there are a lot of excellent people who act as role models in that regard. I'm convinced it's important and worthwhile1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes -

The challenge I have is that I don't run our undergrad research methods program so need to be able to convince my colleagues the same. In the meantime I teach R to all of our research students and bide my time.

That sounds tough.
