i want to know if i'm wrong, and i believe that you're sincere in expressing that view. You know, i'm so glad people are trying to replicate our studies. I also though wonderto some i'd think about this in philosophy as well. To what extent this is something that you guys brought on yourself with all the press releases and the titles of your paper? It's called the value of believing and free will. Andit's a study that, i can't tell you how many times has been cited in the philosophical literature.
David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talk about the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break down a recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate 100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that just over 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is social psychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will David somehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?
Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the Ashley Madison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.
