🚀Very excited to finally see our paper on nonsignificance misinterpretations published! 📈.Together, @ste_lee_murphy, @aurelio_fdez, Linda Reimann and I investigated the prevalence of "p > .05 = absence of an effect" interpretations. (1/4).

📢Clearly, we have a problem. Few articles acknowledge that a nonsignificant result may simply reflect an effect that could not be found. We urge authors to reflect on their interpretations and recommend analyses with specified alternatives (e.g., minimum effect tests). (4/4).

👫Of these, 23% suggested the absence of an effect at the sample level (e.g., 'groups were the same') and 58% at the population level (e.g., 'men and women are the same').

🔍Looking at 599 discussion sections of psychology articles from ten journals and three time points (2009, 2015, 2021), we found that 81% misinterpreted statistically nonsignificant results as indicating the absence of an effect. (2/4).

Very excited to share our new preprint! 📢.We investigated how often researchers misinterpret statistically nonsignificant results as the absence of an effect. Spoiler: it’s a lot (~81% of 599 articles)! Dive into our findings and their implications here:

The new dataset includes ~10 million psych-related article titles, publication years, citation info, open access status, and more. Next, I’ll be adding article abstracts and hope to use these for developing various automated checks. Excited for the potential! 🚀📊 2/2
