I’ve written a textbook on improving your statistical inferences. It consists of the content I teach in workshops, and combines material from my MOOC’s, blog, and published work. It’s a free open educational resource: You can read it here: https://t.co/FdQIS63fVd

PLEASE RT!

We are recruiting volunteer analysts to estimate the analytical robustness of social science by re-analyzing findings from 100 papers.

We need hundreds of analysts who can become co-authors and get paid.

Happy holidays and happy end of the semester from MILES Lab! We loved being able to get together for lunch in person today. @learning100525 @sanheetashankar @QiyuanZheng2 @RayLuongQuant @ChristiaansElla @krisarob

Measurement theory class 21' rolls out Pickle Fanaticism Scale V2, shortened and improved with some other measures included, the validation process continues.
Less than 10 minutes to help my students learn!
PLS share, especially with your pregnant friends.

[Lindsay Alley @l_j_alley]

We're collecting more data for our course! Please take 10 minutes to help us understand pickle fanaticism and teach measurement theory

[JK Flake 📈📏 @JkayFlake]

Help! We are teaching measurement theory this semester and developing an in-class scale on pickle fanaticism. Do a good deed for the day and help us measure pickle attitudes for educational purposes!

[Lindsay Alley @l_j_alley]

Please fill out our pickle fanaticism scale! @JkayFlake and I put this together so our measurement theory students would have real data to play with for their assignments. Please help us collect it! Respond and share! https://t.co/VGjXV23bMI

I'm very happy to announce that our measurement invariance tutorial is out! Huge thank you to my supervisor @JkayFlake for her constant support throughout the process!

[JK Flake 📈📏 @JkayFlake]

Proud mentor moment - @RayLuongQuant's ambitious project to integrate open science practices with measurement models is out! We demonstrate two approaches for measurement invariance, how to choose between them, execute them, and be transparent along the way, + a pre-reg template.

[Dr. Kristy A. Robinson @krisarob]

Today is good: kicked off a new collaborative project with @JkayFlake + students @RayLuongQuant and Cole Johnson. Will share more details later, but here's a keyword teaser: #motivational climate, perception, and #measurement. SO EXCITED. @AERA_MotSIG #teamwork

@metzpsych APS has an annual Student Grant Competition (https://t.co/qS0I2CvqT9). They also maintain a giant student funding database (https://t.co/WAdlxmLPUj). Also, when I was at UTSC, they started a Psi Chi chapter. Maybe you and your students could collab with someone there?

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

@MelissaGWolf @rewberl Agreed!

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

🎉My 1st ever 1st authored paper is out! It’s about using r/SampleSize for research. r/SampleSize is a Reddit community of over 165,000 members who voluntarily complete online surveys. But is it a viable option for your project? A takeaway thread 1/7

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

@rewberl Yes! We noted that even offering compensation limits how generalizable our sample is to “true” volunteers, though only 50% entered the raffle. Given this, some results like internal motivations may be even greater for “true” volunteers—an interesting thought for future research!

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

@DanielBrennan__ The gender distribution between males and females was actually quite even in our sample (47.65% each)! This seems to have happened with the few previously published r/SampleSize studies as well. Non-binary gender identities were a minority (4.70%).

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

@joshdeleeuw @JessieSunPsych We had a final n = 277 recruited over 27 days (194 incomplete/underage excluded). Note that factors we didn't explore, like study content and design, could affect collection rates! Shatz (2017) also provides great general tips for recruitment on Reddit: https://t.co/Ok4neuqakK

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

@suddaland I suspect younger participants are members too, but I'm not sure how many there are! I've seen r/SampleSize surveys that were open to all age groups, though you need to be 13+ to use Reddit. Our study only targeted 18+, but we did have underage participants that were excluded.

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

If you’re a student, instructor, or ECR with limited resources, consider using r/SampleSize! The article, materials, and data are all openly available. Big thank you to my former supervisor, @AnnaLomanowska, without whom this study wouldn’t have been possible! 7/7

[Raymond Luong @RayLuongQuant]

r/SampleSize is constantly growing, so our single small-scale study isn’t definitive, and there’s a lot we still don’t know. We hope as more people use r/SampleSize, we can continually evaluate the pool on an ongoing basis. To do this, we need demographics and open data! 6/7
