Reproducibility Woes Plague Economics and Political Science

New studies show many findings in economics and political science cannot be repeated by other researchers. This affects trust in published research.

Only about half of published papers in social sciences, including economics and political science, can be independently repeated by other researchers. This is a big problem for science.

Economics and Political Science Studies Hard to Repeat, New Research Shows

New studies show many findings in economics and political science cannot be repeated by other researchers. This affects trust in published research.

@daedalus Sometimes, it works out by accident. #replicationcrisis

There you have it:

"Together, these dynamics suppress replication and cumulative verification, distort the visible scientific record, and misdirect expert attention away from epistemically stabilizing review."

Oktoberfest waiters were said to perform worse due to their expertise.

New preregistered replication, 400+ participants.

Result? No effect.

Even Oktoberfest is not immune to the replication crisis. 🍺

Even Oktoberfest is not immune to the replication crisis

A classic study claimed expertise can impair performance. A large preregistered replication at Oktoberfest finds no effect.

From experience to meaning...
Today I gave a presentation at work about how we should change the ways we do #science in order to combat the #replicationcrisis. I think it went well, even though I ended up speaking about twice the time I was meant to, and with such a pathos that I now have a throat ache.
@petersuber #ReplicationCrisis clearly has humbled the scientific community.

🧠💥 Oh, the irony! Cognitive psychology: the science of understanding minds that couldn't even understand itself! 🚫🔄 Turns out, "replication crisis" is just a fancy way of saying, "Oops, we goofed!" 🤦‍♂️ #ScientificFacepalm

Does anyone know of an intro #psychology #textbook that deals in an intelligent, non-avoidant way with the replication crisis?
