This is an extremely relevant and interesting study that shows that behavioral intentions measured in survey experiments should not be mistaken for a measure of actual behavior. And it is a nice example of studies that replicate themselves by using different research designs!

If you are interested in why many-analyst studies may overestimate uncertainty, you might want to take a look at our recent open access article: Toward a more credible assessment of the credibility of science by many-analyst studies | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Toward a more credible assessment of the credibility of science by many-analyst studies | PNAS

We discuss a relatively new meta-scientific research design: many-analyst studies that attempt to assess the replicability and credibility of resea...

I am happy that my paper with Sabine Düval is now published. We use survey experiments & causal mediation analyses to explore gender ideologies & norms underlying the division of housework. We argue that traditional ideologies may have been overestimated in previous research...

Sociology is behind on ** reproducibility ** but we can get together to catch up!

Join our 3 sessions at the ECSR conference in Barcelona (ecsr2024.com) on what journals can do.

At @sociologicalsci.bsky.social , we require data & code or a good reason.

Crisis? What Crisis? Sociology's Slow Progress Toward Scientific Transparency

Sociology's epistemic & methodological fragmentation (+ ASA) preclude top-down initiatives, but weak core also sets stage for rapid, if delayed, diffusion across quant soc networks.

Ross et al. (Nature, 2022) claim that in most fields women are disadvantaged, but their results show that in only 2 out of 13 fields women are less likely to be granted authorship. For women, it seems that science is not as dismal as reported in the Nature article.

"If your data contradicts the common wisdom: ignore your data." It seems that Ross et al. followed this advice when they concluded in their recent Nature article that women are credited less likely authorship in "most scientific fields". See our comment: osf.io/preprints/so...

Thanks to AMCIS for inviting me and organizing a wonderful workshop. It was great to learn that there are so many interesting projects with survey experiments planned and carried out at the UvA!

Yesterday’s workshop ended with a keynote by @kauspurg.bsky.social on robust design of factorial survey experiments, with proposals for how to incorporate causal inference. We’ve been very fortunate to have Katrin visiting UvA during the last week, giving valuable input to multiple projects.

Our study, which uses a longitudinal field experiment during the "European refugee crisis," comes to null- results, see sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10.... Great that we could publish that!

More immigration, more ethnic discrimination? I am happy that the joint article with Renate Lorenz and Andreas Schneck has now appeared open access in Sociological Science.
