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.

Hi Olivia, i think you may have mistaken my intent. I have seen these posts and actually went to adelaide to speak to staff there about their change. I was merely commenting on my personal frustrations with my own attempts, not making any form of general claim.

Would perhaps something like this help convince them? Guest, O. & Rougier, N. P. (2016). Dialogue: What is Computational Reproducibility?. IEEE CIS Newsletter on Cognitive and Developmental Systems. 13 (2). http://oliviaguest.com/doc/guest_rougier_2016.pdf …

Let's just say I'm not universally admired and trying to convince some "important" people to read a paper that will convince them I'm right seems like a strategy that's not destined for success. Mostly because I'm selling it.

Can we try just leaving copies of important papers on the floor or near printers?

The only way anybody "listens" to me seems to be if they repeat back what I said to me as if I never said it.

I'm moving onto my default strategy of getting people to do what I think they ought for reasons other than i proposed, or because I've convinced 3rd parties to advocate it for their own sake.
