Moving to Diversity: Residential Mobility, Changes in Ethnic Diversity, and Concerns About Immigration
Authors: Lancee Bram , Schaeffer Merlin
Published: July 2018

Studies on ethnic diversity and social cohesion are predominantly cross-sectional. Relying on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and applying a differences-in-differences design, this paper investigates how the event of moving to a more or less diverse neighbourhood affects people’s opinions about immigration up. This longitudinal design not only excludes reverse causality, but also renders unobserved heterogeneity a very unlikely alternative explanation. We show that individuals who move to a more diverse neighborhood are about 13% more likely to become very concerned about immigration. This effect remains even three years after the move. Because individuals who move to equal or lower diversity neighborhoods do not change their attitudes, it is not the event of moving as such that makes people more negative towards out-groups. Moreover, this study is the first to investigate whether previous experiences with diversity eliminate any threat effects of moving to a more diverse place. Interestingly, our results lend only partial support for this hypothesis, since those who to the top 15 per cent most diverse neighborhoods generally do not change their views. We consider whether this particular null-effect might be due to ‘threat immunity’ of such movers. Our sensitivity analyses questions this objection and instead suggests that populations often thought to be immune to threat seem to respond similarly.

Status: PostprintVarious results of researches report that daisy Creeping Daisy (Wedelia trilobata), Goat weed (Ageratum conyzoides), Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) and Bittervine (Mikania micrantha) have alellopathic potency to innhibit germination, growth and plant yield.. There were few researches on allelopathic potential of Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine on mustard. Therefore, an experiment to evaluate the the allelopathic effects of those weeds on growth and yield of mustard at different concentrations is necessary to be conducted. The purpose of the research was to determine the allelopathic effects of Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine on the germination of mustard. The Experiment was conducted from November 2008 until January 2009 at Agronomy Laboratory, University of Bengkulu using Randomized Complete Design (RCD). The experiment consisted of four weed species namely Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine and five allelopathic concentrations 10, 20,30, 40 and 50 g/L. The results showed that Siam weed suppressed mustard germination more than other weeds. Allelopathic of Siam weed suppressed shoot length and root length of mustard seedling as much as 42.63% and 45.15% respectively. Shoot and root fresh weight and shoot dry weight of mustard seedling were suppressed as much as 28,23%,56,16% and 56,7% respectively The concentration of 50 g/L extracts from Goat weed andSiam weed was the most toxic to the germination of mustard.
La psicoterapia en la transformación de la praxis moral y las actitudes hacia la paz
Authors: Garcia Mikel Garcia
Published: July 2018

Aunque existe evidencia de que la psicoterapia transforma al paciente, no existe suficiente información sobre cambios en su praxis moral ni en sus actitudes hacia la paz. Este artículo informa de una investigación cuyo objetivo principal fue conocer esa realidad. Otro objetivo era explorar asociaciones entre datos recogidos. Diseño: marco epistemológico de realismo crítico con un análisis cualitativo -Grounded Theory-, y cuantitativo para la acción participativa. Una primera fase inductiva analizando respuestas cualitativas para llegar a construir una teoría. Una segunda fase deductiva para verificarla con hipótesis nulas iniciales para el análisis de datos cuantitativos. Método: La muestra se captó principalmente por internet. Datos recogidos mediante cuestionarios: sociodemográficos; de personalidad mediante el MCMI; de dilemas éticos; de disposición a la paz. Los dilemas, con respuestas dicotómicas y descriptivas, y el cuestionario de paz se diseñaron para la investigación. Muestra válida: 85 sujetos. Análisis: Cualitativo mediante el programa Atlas.ti, y cuantitativo mediante el programa SPSS. El análisis cualitativo genera teoría: La imagen de la víctima es una personificación del modo en que un sujeto se imagina a sí mismo sufriendo. Se formulan hipótesis nulas a verificar cuantitativamente. H0: Realizar como paciente una psicoterapia no cambia la disposición moral. H01: Tampoco aumenta la disposición a la paz. Resultados: a) se rechazan las hipótesis nulas. Hacer psicoterapia cambia las elecciones morales incrementando las utilitaristas y aumenta la disposición a la paz; b) a más edad más utilitarismo; c) las personalidades compulsivas con sentimiento de culpa hacen elecciones deontologistas. Discusión: La moral deontológica tiene una función contenedora de acciones morales asociales. Conclusiones: La articulación cuantitativo cualitativo, poco frecuente en las investigaciones, ha evidenciado potencial generador de significado. Es importante un trabajo de elaboración moral antes del alta de los pacientes. La investigación es incompleta y anticipa áreas a tener en cuenta en futuros trabajos.
Predicting Educational Attainment: Does Grit Compensate for Low Levels of Cognitive Ability?
Authors: Light Audrey , Nencka Peter
Published: July 2018

This study examined the role of cognitive ability in moderating grit’s predictive effect on educational outcomes. Using a large, representative sample of young adults, we estimated multivariate regression models for the probability of graduating from high school, enrolling in college, earning any college degree, and earning a college degree. For each outcome, the effect of grit (and, alternatively, consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) was allowed to differ for students in each quartile of the cognitive ability distribution. We found that the predicted effect of grit—which is dominated by the effect of perseverance—is almost entirely concentrated among students at both the high and low ends of the cognitive ability distribution. We also found that grit’s predictive power increases with each successive educational outcome for high-ability students, but not for low-ability students. The findings are consistent with the notion that high-ability students adopt self-regulated learning processes that exploit their grit, especially as educational tasks become more challenging. For low-ability students, it appears that grit plays a compensatory role. Relatively few low-ability students attain each educational outcome, but those who do appear to benefit from the effective substitution of grit for cognitive ability.
Uncovering the power of personality to shape income

Published: July 2018

The notion of person-environment fit implies that personal and contextual factors interact in influencing important life outcomes. Using data from 8,458 employed individuals, we examined the combined effects of individuals' actual personality traits and expert-rated personality job demands on earnings. Results using response surface analysis indicated that the fit between individuals’ actual personality and job-demanded personality is a predictor of income. Conclusions of this combined analysis were partly opposite to conclusions reached using conventional regression methods. Individuals can earn additional income up to multiple monthly salaries per year if they hold a job that fits their personality. Thus, at least for some traits, economic success does not only depend on having a "successful personality" but partly on finding the best niche for one's personality. We discuss the findings with regard to labor market policies and individual job selection strategies.
Delayed processing of global shape information in developmental prosopagnosia
Authors: Gerlach Christian , Klargaard Solja K. , Petersen Anders , Starrfelt Randi
Published: July 2018

There is accumulating evidence suggesting that the central deficit in developmental prosopagnosia (DP), a disorder characterized by profound and lifelong difficulties with face recognition, concerns impaired holistic processing. Some of this evidence comes from studies using Navon’s paradigm where individuals with DP show a greater local or reduced global bias compared with controls. However, it has not been established what gives rise to this altered processing bias. Is it a reduced global precedence effect, changes in susceptibility to interference effects or both? By analyzing the performance of 10 individuals with DP in Navon’s paradigm we find evidence of a reduced global precedence effect: The DPs are slower than controls to process global but not local shape information. Importantly, and in contrast to previous studies, we demonstrate that the DPs perform normally in a comprehensive test of visual attention, showing normal: visual short-term memory capacity, speed of visual processing, efficiency of top-down selectivity, and allocation of attentional resources. Hence, we conclude that the reduced global precedence effect reflects a perceptual rather than an attentional deficit. We further show that this reduced global precedence effect correlates both with the DPs’ face recognition abilities, as well as their ability to recognize degraded (non-face) objects. We suggest that the DPs’ impaired performance in all three domains (Navon, face and object recognition) may be related to the same dysfunction; delayed derivation of global relative to local shape information.
Preprint: Using named entities for computer-automated verbal deception detection
Authors: Kleinberg Bennett , Mozes Maximilian , Arntz Arnoud , Verschuere Bruno
Published: July 2018

There is an increasing demand for automated verbal deception detection systems. We propose named entity recognition (NER; i.e., the automatic identification and extraction of information from text) based on three established theoretical principles: (i) truth-tellers provide accounts that are richer in detail, (ii) contain more contextual references (specific persons, locations, and times), and (iii) liars tend to withhold potentially checkable information. We test whether NER captures these theoretical concepts and can automatically identify truthful vs. deceptive hotel reviews. We extracted the proportion of unique named entities and compared its discriminative ability to a lexicon word count approach (LIWC) and a competing measure of sentence specificity (speciteller). Named entities discriminated truthful from deceptive hotel reviews and outperformed the lexicon approach by LIWC and sentence specificity by speciteller in diagnostic efficiency. This investigation suggests that named entities may be a useful addition to existing automated verbal deception detection approaches.
A Network Model of Resilience Factors for Adolescents with and without Exposure to Childhood Adversity

THIS IS A PRE-PRINT OF AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN “SCIENTIFIC REPORTS (8: 15774)”. THE FINAL AUTHENTICATED VERSION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-34130-2Resilience factors (RFs) help prevent mental health problems after childhood adversity (CA). RFs are known to be related, but it is currently unknown how their interrelations facilitate mental health. Here, we used network analysis to examine the interrelations between ten RFs in 14-year-old adolescents exposed (‘CA’; n=638) and not exposed to CA (‘no-CA’; n=501). We found that the degree to which RFs are assumed to enhance each other is higher in the no-CA compared to the CA group. Upon correction for general distress levels, the global RF connectivity also differed between the two groups. More specifically, in the no-CA network almost all RFs were positively interrelated and thus may enhance each other, whereas in the CA network some RFs were negatively interrelated and thus may hamper each other. Moreover, the CA group showed more direct connections between the RFs and current distress. Therefore, CA seems to influence how RFs relate to each other and to current distress, potentially leading to a dysfunctional RF system. Translational research could explore whether intervening on negative RF interrelations so that they turn positive and RFs can enhance each other, may alter ‘RF-mental distress’ relations, resulting in a lower risk for subsequent mental health problems.
A SYSTEMS THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF THE QUANTITATIVE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ECONOMETRICS AND EDUCATION.
Authors: sitaramam vetury , Vetury-Iyer Pallavi
Published: July 2018

Income/expenditures, individual expenditures such as education, and performance in schools all relate to systems with defined inputs and outputs and have been formally modeled in accordance with a systems theoretic approach. The Engel’s curves of expenditures on commodities from the Indian National Sample Survey Organization data was hyperbolic limited by a perceived ‘time constant’ associated with commodities while the preferences themselves are ordered hierarchically. School participation (dropouts) as a function of parental income based on available Brazilian data also shows a hierarchical hyperbolic relationship, thereby proving the nature of hierarchy in a naturally ordinal commodity - education. Since the socio-economic influences skew school performance in year-end examinations that demand cramming, retention over the years was tested in a school with a small cross section of 9th grade students uniformly distributed for their previous year’s school grades. The startling finding was that retention was drastically falling with years of schooling towards more recent years, which cannot be detected by the usual school tests, and depends on the subjects as taught. The remedial measures based on a large scale testing and confirmation of results would considerably benefit by a continuation of systems approach.
Can infants learn phonology in the lab? A meta-analytic answer
Authors: Cristia Alejandrina
Published: July 2018

Two of the key tasks facing the language-learning infant lie at the level of phonology: establishing which sounds are contrastive in the native inventory, and determining what their possible syllabic positions and permissible combinations (phonotactics) are. In 2002-2003, two theoretical proposals, one bearing on how infants can learn sounds (Maye, Werker, and Gerken, 2002) and the other on phonotactics (Chambers, Onishi, and Fisher, 2003), were put forward on the pages of _Cognition_, each supported by two laboratory experiments, wherein a group of infants was briefly exposed to a set of pseudo-words, and plausible phonological generalizations were tested in a subsequent phase. These two papers have received considerable attention from the general scientific community, and inspired a flurry of follow-up work. In the context of questions regarding the replicability of psychological science, the present work uses a meta-analytic approach to appraise extant empirical evidence for infant phonological learning in the laboratory. It is found that neither seminal finding (on learning sounds and learning phonotactics) holds up when close methodological replications are integrated, although less close methodological replications do provide some evidence in favor of the sound learning strand of work. Implications for authors and readers of this literature are drawn out. It would be desirable that additional mechanisms for phonological learning be explored, and that future infant laboratory work should employ paradigms that rely on constrained and unambiguous links between experimental exposure and measured infant behavior.
AGRESIVITAS AIRTANAH KARST SUNGAI BAWAH TANAH BRIBIN, GUNUNG SEWU
Authors: Adji Tjahyo Nugroho
Published: July 2018

Karst groundwater agressivity, which is here meant as the ability of water to dissolve limestone plays asignificant role to sustain the discharge of Bribin River. This article describes the spatial karst groundwateragressivity of Bribin underground river along flowpath. The boundary of analysis used in this research isthe tentative catchment area of Bribin River starting from Pentung River (swallow hole) as an inlet andBribin Cave as the end point (outlet).39 caves within the catchment were mapped, and 8 underground river were sampled and analyzed inlaboratory to achieve the chemical composition of groundwater including cation (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+) andanion (Cl-, SO4 2-, HCO3-). Afterwards, the result of laboratory is used to identify the chemical type of karst groundwater. Groundwater agressivity is subsequently classified by using chemical agressivity diagram in the system of pH – ToC – CaCO3 in order to account the ΔpH and ΔTAC. Finally, using the value of ΔpH and ΔTAC, the rate of karst groundwater agressivity may be defined. In addition, to define the stage of dissolution process along flowpath, analysis of Saturation Indices (SI) with respect to calcite (CaCO3) is also to be applied. The result indicates that there is a tendency of the decreasing rate of groundwater agressivity along flowpath. The inlet (Pentung River) characterized by high groundwater agressivity, and then there is a moderate decreasing trend of groundwater agressivity downstream. Finally, the rate of agressivity in the end point (Bribin Cave) confirms the low agressivity stage occurs. Furthermore, the analysis of SI values shows that the dominant hydrogeochemical process is calcite dissolution, even though this values is very close to equilibrium at Bribin Cave. Meanwhile, interesting phenomena present in Sodong Cave, where the sample is classified as aggressive water with the SI value of -0.43 inevitable that leakage ofBribin River may occur in the future.

Authors: Queiroz Bernardo L , Lima Everton , Freire Flávio , Gonzaga Marcos Roberto
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUNDThe study of mortality level and trends in developing countries is limited by the quality of vital registration system and population data, especially for small areas. However, understanding regional differences in data quality and mortality is crucial for public health planning. OBJECTIVEThe paper aims to estimate adult mortality levels for small-areas in Brazil and to examine variations and spatial patterns of adult mortality across regions, overtime and by sex in the countryMETHODSWe combine a three-method strategy. We apply a standardization technique to smooth rates in small areas. We then obtained measures of completeness of death counts coverage using Death Distribution Methods. And spatial analysis to investigate variations and patterns of adult mortality in small areas of the country.RESULTSWe find that completeness of death counts coverage improved overtime across the country. We observed that regions in the south and southeast have complete death registration systems and areas in the less developed regions are improving. We observe a large and constant differential in adult mortality by sex and regions.CONCLUSIONSWe find that the quality of mortality data in Brazil and regions is improving over time. The improvement is mostly explain by public investments in collection health data. Gender differences remained high over the period of analysis due to the increase in external causes of deaths for males. This increase also explains the concentration of high mortality levels for males in some areas of the country. CONTRIBUTIONA new methodological procedure on estimating and analyzing the evolutions on adult mortality pattern over time and across smaller areas on the presence of defective data, on both vital statistics and population data.
Playful Information Literacy: Play and Information Literacy in Higher Education
Authors: Walsh Andrew
Published: July 2018

It is often difficult to address higher level information literacy skills in Higher Education. This paper argues if we see information literacy as contextual rather than an absolute list of competencies, then play can give us a route to developing those higher level skills.It takes a social constructivist approach in defining information literacy, before going on to define play and games as belonging on a wide spectrum between completely free or open play and highly structured games.Using examples from the literature, the paper builds the argument that play is one answer towards meeting the need to develop high level information literacy in students, even though there is limited empirical research into adult play and information literacy development.

Open science initiatives have great potential to improve the quality of research and make access to it more democratic. Many of the features related to open science are, however, dependent upon unfettered access to the internet. We should be aware that the voices of many people are excluded because they do not have this unrestricted access. Vigilance is also required to ensure that access remains free where it is currently.
On Spatial and Platial Dependence: Examining Shrinkage in Spatially-Dependent Multilevel Models
Authors: Wolf Levi John , Anselin Luc , Arribas-Bel Daniel , Mobley Lee Rivers
Published: July 2018

Multilevel models have been applied to study many geographical processes in epidemiology, economics, political science, sociology, urban analytics, and transportation. They are most often used to express how the effect of a treatment or intervention may vary by geographical group, a form of spatial process heterogeneity. In addition, these models provide a notion of "platial" dependence: observations that are within the same geographical place are modeled as similar to one another. Recent work has shown that spatial dependence can be introduced into multilevel models, and has examined the empirical properties of these models' estimates. However, systematic attention to the mathematical structure of these models has been lacking. This paper examines a kind of multilevel model that includes both "platial" and "spatial" dependence. Using mathematical analysis, we obtain the relationship between classic multilevel, spatial multilevel, and single-level models. This mathematical structure exposes a tension between a main benefit of multilevel models, estimate shrinkage, and the effects of spatial dependence. We show, both mathematically and empirically, that classic multilevel models may overstate estimate precision and understate estimate shrinkage when spatial dependence is present. This result extends long-standing results in single-level modeling to mutilevel models.
A Framework for Sampling-Based XML Data Pricing
Authors: Tang Ruiming , Amarilli Antoine , Senellart Pierre , Bressan Stéphane
Published: July 2018

While price and data quality should define the major tradeoff for consumers in data markets, prices are usually prescribed by vendors and data quality is not negotiable. In this paper we study a model where data quality can be traded for a discount. We focus on the case of XML documents and consider completeness as the quality dimension. In our setting, the data provider offers an XML document, and sets both the price of the document and a weight to each node of the document, depending on its potential worth. The data consumer proposes a price. If the proposed price is lower than that of the entire document, then the data consumer receives a sample, i.e., a random rooted subtree of the document whose selection depends on the discounted price and the weight of nodes. By requesting several samples, the data consumer can iteratively explore the data in the document.We present a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm to select a rooted subtree with prescribed weight uniformly at random, but show that this problem is unfortunately intractable. Yet, we are able to identify several practical cases where our algorithm runs in polynomial time. The first case is uniform random sampling of a rooted subtree with prescribed size rather than weights; the second case restricts to binary weights.As a more challenging scenario for the sampling problem, we also study the uniform sampling of a rooted subtree of prescribed weight and prescribed height. We adapt our pseudo-polynomial time algorithm to this setting and identify tractable cases.

The effects of free condom distribution on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in men who have sex with men

Published: July 2018

HIV and other sexually transmitted infections remain a burden on men who have sex with men in the era of effective combination antiretroviral therapy. New prevention efforts are therefore needed. One of these approaches is the current country-wide free condom distribution at gay bars with darkrooms and gay saunas in the Netherlands. This study assessed the effects of free condom distribution on incidence and burden of disease of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.A model was constructed to calculate the impact of free condom distribution on HIV, hepatitis C, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis among men who have sex with men visiting these venues. Outcomes included new infections averted and disability-adjusted life years averted. Scenario studies were performed to predict the effects of a further increase of condom use, condom effectiveness and coverage. Lastly, cost-effectiveness and sensitivity analyses were performed.Condom use at public sex venues increased after the intervention. Our model showed decreases in annual incidence risk, ranging from 5.73% for gonorrhoea to 7.62% for HIV. The annual number of new infections averted was largest for chlamydia and gonorrhoea (261 and 394 infections, respectively), but 42 new HIV infections were averted as well. Over 98% of the decrease in burden of disease was due to HIV. In scenarios where condom use and condom effectiveness were further increased, this reduction became more extensive. The intervention was cost-effective and cost-saving (for every €1 spent on condom distribution, €5.51 was saved) and remained this in all sensitivity analyses.Free condoms at public sex venues can reduce the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Condom distribution is an affordable and easily implemented intervention that can reduce the burden of disease in men who have sex with men substantially.
Breaking down the language of racism: a computerised linguistic analysis of racist groups’ self-defining online statements
Authors: Faulkner Nicholas , Bliuc Ana-Maria
Published: July 2018

The Internet represents a powerful tool for racist groups to achieve their collective goals – i.e., disseminating racist ideologies, increasing their support base, and enhancing their transnational influence. Their online presence is carefully and strategically crafted as it often constitutes their first point of contact with potential supporters. To identify linguistic markers or racist (online) communication and key presentational strategies of racist groups, we examine the language they use when describing their self-defining beliefs on their websites. A dataset of group online statements of racist self-defining beliefs (N = 102) was analysed using a computerised linguistic analysis software; we compared this dataset with a baseline of neutral texts (N = 12,173). We found that online self-defining statements of racist groups were characterised by greater use of divisive language and a stronger focus on collective identity. We identified an increased use of religion and anger words, and reduced use of sadness and cognitive complexity words. We conclude by discussing implications of these findings for designing policies aiming to counteract the harmful societal effects of racist groups.
Testing fit patterns with polynomial regression models
Authors: Schönbrodt Felix D.
Published: July 2018

Fit hypotheses, also labeled ‘congruence’, ‘discrepancy’, or ‘congruity’ hypotheses, contain the notion that an outcome is optimal when two predictor variables match well, while incongruent/discrepant combinations of the predictors lead to a suboptimal outcome. Previous statistical frameworks for analyzing fit hypotheses emphasized the necessity of commensurable scales, which means that both predictors must be measured on the same content dimension and on the same numerical scale. In some research areas, however, it is impossible to achieve scale equivalence, because the predictors have to be measured with different methods, such as explicit attitudes (e.g., questionnaires) and implicit attitudes (e.g., reaction time task). In this paper, I differentiate numerical congruence from fit patterns, a concept that does not depend on the notion of commensurability, and hence can be applied to fit hypotheses with incommensurable scales. Polynomial regression can be used to test for the presence of a fit pattern in empirical data. I propose several new regression models for testing fit patterns which are statistically simpler and conceptually more meaningful than a full polynomial model. An R package is introduced which provides user-friendly functions for the computation, visualization, and model comparison of several fit patterns. An empirical example on implicit/explicit motive fit demonstrates the usage of the new methods.
General and domain-specific grit both show a negative association with scholastic aptitude in a large sample of university applicants
Authors: Bahník Štěpán , Vranka Marek Albert
Published: July 2018

Grit has been recently proposed as an important factor influencing who will succeed in various domains. It might therefore be used for predicting future success and as a target of interventions aiming to improve achievement. The present study examined domain-specificity of grit and the association between grit and results in a scholastic aptitude test in a large sample of university applicants (N = 2,971). Grit showed small-to-moderate negative association with the results in the scholastic aptitude test. This negative association did not differ largely between general grit and grit measured in relation to studying and hobbies. The study shows that high grit does not by itself predict success in a standardized university admission test. Furthermore, focusing grit on a specific domain of interest does not improve its predictive ability.
Thermodynamics of indirect water injection in internal combustion engines: theoretical assessment of the fresh mixture cooling effect
Authors: Vaudrey Alexandre
Published: July 2018

Water injection is a well-known efficient way to improve the performance of internal combustion engines. Amazingly, most of previous studies have yet only assess this process in an experimental manner, depriving us of an understanding of its specific influence on different operating phases of the engine (density of the aspirated fresh mixture, work required by the compression stroke, and so on) but also of the possibility to predict its effects if set up on an existing engine. Thanks to a theoretical framework specifically developed, and similar to the one commonly used for the analysis of air conditioning systems, we start in this paper to untangle in a theoretical manner the different consequences of water injection on internal combustion engines.This first study is specifically focused on the fresh mixture density increase, due to the vaporisation of liquid water in the intake manifold. Results show that, in the best scenarios, we cannot expect to increase the amount of fuel finally aspirated into the cylinders by more than 10%. The methodology presented here, as well as the python software specifically developed, can be of a precious help for the optimisation of such process if applied to existing or future engines.
A Brief Guide to Evaluate Replications

Published: July 2018

The importance of replication is becoming increasingly appreciated, however, considerably less consensus exists about how to evaluate the design and results of replications. We make concrete recommendations on how to evaluate replications with more nuance than what is typically done currently in the literature. We highlight six study characteristics that are crucial for evaluating replications: replication method similarity, replication differences, investigator independence, method/data transparency, analytic result reproducibility, and auxiliary hypotheses’ plausibility evidence. We also recommend a more nuanced approach to statistically interpret replication results at the individual-study and meta-analytic levels, and propose clearer language to communicate replication results.

A Poor Prognosis for the Diagnostic Screening Critique of Statistical Tests
Authors: Mayo Deborah , Morey Richard Donald
Published: July 2018

Recently, a number of statistical reformers have argued for conceptualizing significance testing as analogous to diagnostic testing, with a "base rate" of true nulls and a test's error probabilities used to compute a "positive predictive value" or "false discovery rate". These quantities are used to critique statistical and scientific practice. We argue against this; these quantities are not relevant for evaluating statistical tests, they add to the confusion over significance testing, and they take the focus away from what matters: evidence.

Teaching Bayes' Theorem: Strength of Evidence As Predictive Accuracy
Authors: Rouder Jeffrey N. , Morey Richard D.
Published: July 2018

Although teaching Bayes' theorem is popular, the standard approach---targeting posterior distributions of parameters---may be improved. We advocate teaching Bayes' theorem in a ratio form where the posterior beliefs relative to the prior beliefs equals the conditional probability of data relative to the marginal probability of data. This form leads to an interpretation that the strength of evidence is relative predictive accuracy. With this approach, students are encouraged to view Bayes' theorem as an updating mechanism, to obtain a deeper appreciation of the role of the prior and of marginal data, and to view estimation and model comparison from a unified perspective.

Non-disabled ableism: An autoethnography of cultural encounters between a non-disabled researcher and disabled people in the field
Authors: Svendby Rannveig , Romsland Grace Inga , Moen Kåre
Published: July 2018

This article describes situations where preconceptions about disabled people were made apparent in a non-disabled researcher’s thoughts, words and actions in the course of fieldwork for a qualitative study into the lives of disabled young adults. The article uses these experiences as entry points to discovery and analysis of cultural ableism. It draws on critical theory and insights from the social model of disability, and takes an autoethnographic approach to highlight the researcher’s preconceptions and her process towards a more nuanced understanding of disability.
