People who review products, places, and events online after brief and superficial exposure, why? I leave my reviews 6-12 months after the purchase or encounter to get a sense of how it endures.

Just trying to leave the possibility open that there is one counterexample. From the recent reports and scandals, I predict few good evaluation processes. But let's see. How does the process really work for the large prizes?

I updated my post on equivalence tests using {marginaleffects} this morning.
If you want to make an argument *for* no effect (or as I like to say "for a negligible effect"), then you should be using an equivalence test.

How should we interpret this? Is a 50-50 split in males and females desired or are there perspectives that are not being covered in the literature due to this trend?

Agreed. And what if the next step for pre-registrations is to guide scholars to make rigorous (justifiable) choices to not only document, but also decide well? Then it would become something like an experimental design tool.

Uh oh, that reminds me of a paper I read a while back. It used G*Power to compute Ns for an experiment on fear extinction.

The details are in this paragraph (2 groups, 2 measurement time points: pre and post).
I ran the power analysis selecting SPSS in G*Power (N = 194).

For me, the issue is the positionality statements don't attempt to correct for possible biases or suggest corrective strategies. I like them and plan to use them, but would want to supplement positionality with strategies that help others think about what I've done to avoid confirmation bias.

The replication crisis is often described as a crisis of false positives, but is it?
In our (re)new(ed) preprint, we show that false positives do not explain the replication crisis, and that varying rep. rates are often explained by replication sample size. #metascience
