Evaluating Study Validity via Search Results
- If search results for a study only show news articles from around the same date, be wary.
- This suggests a lack of in-depth investigation and follow-up on the study's validity.
Identifying Reliable Science Reporting
- Look for reliable science reporting from sources like Ed Yong, Ben Goldacre, and John Horgan.
- Trusted journals and organizations, such as Nature and Scientific American, can also provide good info.
Reproducibility Issues in Psychology Studies
- A study by the Center for Open Science found that over half of 100 published psychological studies were not reproducible.
- One example involved a study about men's ability to interpret women's attraction signals, which yielded different results upon replication.
