Merci à @adrienfillon.bsky.social et @nathlarigaldie.bsky.social pour ce super moment 😊

Version clickbait du titre : ils découvrent en live l'identité du pair qui a expertisé leur papier… leur réaction est incroyable !

If you work in psychology in a research area without Registered Reports, you will see that the main hypotheses in papers are almost always supported. If your peers publish Registered Reports, you will also have access to null results, which should be very common. doi.org/10.1177/2515...

New publication with my dearest friend, @kenzonera.bsky.social!

We propose that multi-study articles can hardly achieve conceptual novelty and statistical consistency while remaining transparent.

Fulfilling two of these criteria considerably reduces the probability of satisfying the third one.

New article by @paulbertin.bsky.social and @kenzonera.bsky.social considers the trilemma between novelty, consistency, and transparency in psychological research.

This trilemma may have detrimental consequences for open science practices, turning them into a form of virtue signalling that compensates for low transparency.

To learn more about the trilemma, its consequences, and potential solutions to alleviate its pressure, check out the open-access article:

Boycott behaviors may be hard for sports fans to maintain due to the lack of alternative products.

Ultimately, boycott may reflect low fandom rather than high political engagement.

In the end, lasting boycotters may be those uninterested in sports events, making the boycott poorly consequential.
paulbertin.bsky.social
Even more puzzling was the finding that this decrease occurred regardless of French fans' political concerns about minorities and environmental issues—the best predictors of boycott intentions.

In other words, politicized fans struggled to maintain the boycott.
paulbertin.bsky.social
Then, we compared fans' intentions before the WC with their actual boycott behavior after the tournament.

We observed a decrease in all countries, but it was only significant in France—likely due to limited statistical power in other countries and the strong performance of the French team.
paulbertin.bsky.social
We investigated boycott intentions in France, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland (N = 1,635).

Boycott intentions were tied to concerns about environmental and minority issues.

Rejection of the boycott was best predicted by strong identification with the team and enjoying football’s aesthetic appeal.

New paper on sports fans and political behaviors now in press at bsky.app/profile/ispp...

In late 2022, @paulinegrippa.bsky.social and I conducted an intercultural, longitudinal study on fans' motives for (not) boycotting the 2022 World Cup.

🚨New paper alert🚨

How do different "Great Replacement" conspiracy narratives (blaming relatively powerful left-wing elites or relatively powerless Muslim communities) affect radical collective action intentions against different targets across the political spectrum?

Our registered report with @valentinmang.bsky.social and @feitenglong.bsky.social has now been published in BJSP! We examined the radicalizing effects of different Great Replacement conspiracy narratives (Muslim vs. left-wing conspirators). See the link for the paper: doi.org/10.1111/bjso...

Dans mon ancienne ED, c'était 3 publiés. J'ai fait du forcing pour pouvoir soutenir avec 2 publiés et 2 soumis.

Certaines disciplines ne voyaient pas les thèses articles d'un très bon œil et avaient imposé des critères inatteignables (j'étais la première thèse article soutenue sous ces critères).

Making materials openly available and easy to retrieve is crucial for facilitating this kind of replication effort and ensuring a healthy development of the field.
