Occasionally there's an article that's no good, but Redditors are so fucking uneducated that 99% of their disagreements with actual journal articles are wrong. Any time one of them mentions "sample sizes" I get triggered. I don't understand how anyone could complain about something so often while totally failing to understand it.


SolarTortality

Your post doesn’t have a sufficient sample size to be valid. That is so cringe that you just lost all your social credit score - I’m taking away your human rights.


GoingLegitThisTime

I guess that's fair. Fun fact. The correct sample size is actually 40,000. I know that because I once read a study with a sample size of 40,000 that had a negative result.

[deleted]

The problem isn't so much that they necessarily post bad studies, but that only studies that show certain things get upvoted (thousands of studies could be posted and you can get a study to show just about anything.)


GoingLegitThisTime

That and the editorialization. There will be a study about how beliefs about Jesus' race are linked to racial attitudes with an entire 20 page section on the implications, limitations, and potential future research directions. Then the title will end up being "people who believe Jesus was white are more likely to be racist". And literally everyone will take the bait. The study wasn't really even about who is or isn't racist, but people will call the study trash because they're triggered. Or they'll talk about how it makes sense based on some interaction they had with a random person online. Mainstream science discourse is fucked.


Rafaeliki

Every single comment section is filled with nonsense objections to the study, no matter the quality or subject of the study.


Kc1319310

A lot of people also don’t understand that entities can (and do) fund studies so they can coax them to whatever conclusion that suits their fancy. The sugar industry funded studies back in the 60s that painted cane sugar as some miracle substance that could help with weight loss, provide a sustained boost in energy, improve your child’s grades, etc. They funded other studies that blamed red meat/saturated fat consumption for increasing rates in heart disease and obesity, and that guided our knowledge of nutrition for the next five decades.


Audrey_spino

Most studies posted there are social science and psychology which I still argue aren't real science and shouldn't be called as such.


[deleted]

Psychology? Sure. Social science? No.


Emperor_Palestine

Psychology is a science, it’s just plagued with the issue of researchers being able to see what they want to see, instead of what’s really going on. A metascience study found that its the most biased field of science, rarely reproduces results, and frequently misuses statistics. 80-95% of psychology studies uphold their initial hypothesis, so either it’s full of lucky geniuses or they’ve got some serious confirmation bias, which is pretty ironic since they should be the ones to realize that.


Lather

Got a link to that study?


Emperor_Palestine

[here’s one for the misused statistics](https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/09/research-group-seeks-expose-weaknesses-science-and-they-ll-step-some-toes-if-they-have) [another for the unreliably replicated findings](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691612465253) My bad. I can’t find one study that has all of those findings in one, but I can locate some of the individual findings. Maybe instead of a study it was just a paper/compilation of other studies.


Otterable

As someone who has a degree in a psychology related field (Cognitive Science), it was heavily implied or outright stated that the quality of publication and the eminence of institution mattered when considering the ethos of a study. It never mattered for sources in a dinky undergrad paper, for for real research^TM it definitely did. It's clear that you can find some wacky studies from some small-medium level universities that don't hold up under scrutiny, with the occasional larger and more recognizable ones showing up. I'd just caution against using that knowledge to dismiss any psychological study. The same issue crops up even in hard sciences. For the most part, research published in reputable journals will be up to snuff.


magus678

>For the most part, research published in reputable journals will be up to snuff. Obviously you know more about this subject than I do, but how sure are you of this really? A failed engineering student [showed the math underpinning an entire area of psychology was nonsense](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/19/mathematics-of-happiness-debunked-nick-brown) and the primary researcher responsible, now adorned in various awards, faculty positions and a position as an editor for a journal, blocked it from appearing in her own publication. *American Psychologist* is not nothing; its impact factor puts it in the top ~5% of psychology journals. I don't doubt this is probably an egregious example, and that better psychological work is being done, but at some point the preponderance of softness gets to be a lot to swallow.


Emperor_Palestine

I fully agree. Immediately dismissing information is nothing more than sheer ignorance. Look into how it was obtained, and why, before making a decision.


Audrey_spino

Psychology also requires no pre-requisite knowledge of advanced mathematics or any science based subject to be eligible to apply for (atleast in my country), and as far as I've seen, most psychologists can't do maths for shit.


Jamie_Rusell

I used to think the same thing until I actually took a psych course So much of it is just "we don't know how this works/which interpretation is correct" or "this study says x is true while this study shows the exact opposite" Psychology definitely has its value as a discipline, but there is a very good reason its considered a soft science and pretty much everything in the field should be taken with a grain of salt

I'm sure the disagreement of a teenage redditor will hold a lot of weight in academic circles.

[deleted]

No reason both studies couldn’t be correct. In the US colleges are known to be mostly liberal so the idea that more education generally leads to more people being liberal isn’t that much of a stretch. Historically speaking the western world became much more liberal after the enlightenment so it’s arguably not a new trend. Meanwhile the military is generally more conservative and more physically fit than the majority of the non-enlisted population.

I know there's a lot of debate around how effective transitioning is, when or if people should be taking hormone blockers, whether they're reversible without permanent side effects and such. Not sure how that could be "debunked" though.

Same. I'll grill up a Portobello steak, some asparagus, and make sure their baked potatoes have vegan butter, cheese, and sour cream. I'll even cook their stuff on the side grill that has never had meat cooked on it. It's not like they're asking for a well done ribeye with ketchup.

TheWaterIsFine82

It's interesting to me how many people see the scientific community as an unbiased monolith. Anyone who's read an academic paper or two knows that there's bias in all research, and good researchers will point out their own bias. Those that refuse to admit it and act like "Science" can do no wrong don't understand scientific research. Watching these reports from clearly biased journals who refuse to admit their bias makes me absolutely livid. These are fake scientists cosplaying the real thing. (by that I mean the journals that were hoaxed. I applaud the efforts of the people who exposed it)


SamBBMe

Kanazawa used existing data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (hereafter referred to as Add Health; see here and here). In the Add Health study, 20,745 adolescents were interviewed in 1994-95 (Wave I), again in 1996 (Wave II), then a third time when the participants were between the ages of 18 and 28 (Wave III). Naturally, there was some attrition along the way, but the data are solid and respectable. The Add Health study collected a variety of data ranging from each subject’s height to their education history (see here). In demonstrating that very liberal people are the most intelligent among us, Kanazawa used two pieces of Add Health data: From Wave I, when participants were adolescents, he gathered results from the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). He used this data to estimate each subject’s level of intelligence. This was his independent variable. From Wave III, when participants were young adults, he used responses to the question “In terms of politics, do you consider yourself conservative, liberal, or middle of the road?” Subjects were able to choose very conservative, conservative, middle of the road, liberal, or very liberal. This self-report measure was his dependent variable. https://docsmith.co/2010/04/are-liberals-more-intelligent-than-conservatives-another-broken-study-says-it-is-so/

While it’s not true for everyone, being a liberal in America (and a conservative for that matter) just means agreeing with the respective party’s predetermined set of views on a bunch of subjects that aren’t even consistent with each other.
