🚨 New Article Drop!
Excited to share that @mtriventi.bsky.social and I have just published a new paper in Higher Education:

Do restricted-access degree programs lead to better academic outcomes?
Short answer: Yes!

Academic selectivity and student progression: do restricted-access degree programs lead to better outcomes? - Higher Education
Policymakers in many developed countries are focused on increasing university participation, but higher enrolment rates do not necessarily lead to better degree completion rates. One proposed solution...

Our results suggest the need to look earlier in students’ educational trajectories and family experiences to understand the origins of political interest and civic engagement.

💡 Key findings
-Students in the academic track already showed higher political interest before placement.
-Track placement had no significant causal effect on political interest.
-Upper-secondary tracking seems to maintain rather than create disparities in civic dispositions.

We investigate a question relevant for both political sociology and social stratification research:
📚 Does educational tracking—academic vs. vocational upper-secondary tracks—shape students’ political interest?

Technologically speaking, we live in an age of miracles.

In the last few years, we finally got malaria vaccines; we finally got an antiviral that prevents HIV infections with 95-100% efficacy.

But it all means nothing if people don't know it and don't use them.

"even if data are quantitative and numerical, the ways in which they are analysed and, to a greater extent, the inferences made from this analysis, will vary depending on who the researcher is."

I LOVE this paper, which talks about reflexivity in quant, not qual, research

tinyurl.com/3r3s39ty
Reflexivity is the act of examining one's own assumption, belief, and judgement systems, and thinking carefully and critically about how these influence the research process. The practice of reflexivity confronts and questions who we are as researchers and how this guides our work. It is central in debates on objectivity, subjectivity, and the very foundations of social science research and generated knowledge. Incorporating reflexivity in the research process is traditionally recognized as one of the most notable differences between qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Qualitative research centres and celebrates the participants' personal and unique lived experience. Therefore, qualitative researchers are readily encouraged to consider how their own unique positionalities inform the research process and this forms an important part of training within this paradigm. Quantitative methodologies in social and personality psychology, and more generally, on the other hand, have remai

This is worrying: less replicable studies seem to make up the difference with bluster & confidence.

BLOG POST: Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical errors

If you see a small p-value or a large separation in confidence intervals, you may assume that an effect is reliable. But overly simple reporting may be hiding serious conclusion-altering errors.

Here are some example scenarios:

Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical Errors
When you see the statistical result of an experiment like p = 0.003 or a 95% confidence interval of , you might assume a certain clarity and definitiveness in those results. A null effect is very unli...
