i'll allow myself a contrived rhetoric for this once

academics: p-hacking should be criminalized. p-hackers should be jailed.

also academics: what if these men weren't pedos themselves but selflessly befriended and took money from one for the benefit of their labs?

A new paper by George Borjas—who served this past year in the Trump White House designing some of its anti-immigration policies—claims to display evidence of ideological bias among researchers who study immigration.

“Sometimes you don’t survive whole. You only survive in part. But the *grandeur* of life is that attempt. It’s not about the solution. It’s about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances.”

No economic conservatism, Chris? I replicate(d) these findings, but I always find economic conservatism as a main predictor of authoritarianism.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.

Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

"We show that most men express low-to-moderate levels of distinct dimensions of toxic masculinity including sexism, narcissism, and sexual prejudice. Only a small proportion of men displayed traditional forms of toxic masculinity."

Minority Power

"Marginalized groups develop sophisticated alternative conceptualizations of power as collective resistance, cultural preservation and mutual aid that enable transformation despite structural disadvantages."

#SocialPsyc

This article synthesizes cutting-edge research from our special issue examining power across groups, communities and nations to advance a fundamental reconceptualization that reveals power's inherent plurality, dynamism and cultural embeddedness. Drawing on evidence from a diverse set of countries and innovative methodologies, we demonstrate that traditional definitions of power as asymmetric resource control fail to capture its real-world complexity. The collected research reveals three critical insights. First, power operates through multiple, intersecting mechanisms—from ideological frameworks like hegemonic masculinity to seemingly benevolent helping behaviours that maintain hierarchies. Second, power's meaning and operation vary dramatically across cultural contexts, with the power-status relationship ranging from nearly synonymous in some societies to entirely disconnected in others. Third, marginalized groups develop sophisticated alternative conceptualizations of power as collective resistance, cultural preservation and mutual aid that enable transformation despite structural disadvantages. These findings necessitate theoretical frameworks that accommodate power's plurality while identifying general principles, examining dynamic processes rather than static attributes and integrating multiple levels of analysis. We argue for moving beyond imposed definitions to understand how diverse groups conceptualize their own agency, examining not just domination but resistance and developing interventions that promote more equitable power distributions.

Critique argues post-publication peer review "often focuses on minor details" and "risks damaging trust in both the research itself and the peer review process" found to contain:

- Undisclosed COIs (EiC is author)
- 8/9 authors have retractions or related scandals

Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications.

How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔
