What in the WorldDoes birth order shape your personality?We’ve spotted some of you on your socials talking about eldest sibling vs youngest sibling behaviour. It got us wondering if when you’re born can affect personality, relationships and outlook on life. We all know the stereotypes; the eldest child is more conscientious and responsible. The middle child gets overlooked and craves attention. The youngest is indulged and a risk-taker. Personality psychologist Julia Rohrer, from Leipzig University in Germany breaks down what’s science and what’s fiction.We hear the experiences from three of our BBC pals; Faith Oshoko in Nigeria, Santiago Vanegas Maldonado from Col...

Decoding the GurusOpen Science, Psychology, and the Art of Not Quite Claiming Causality with Julia RohrerIn a rare departure from our usual diet of online weirdos, this episode features an academic who is very much not a guru. We’re joined by Julia Rohrer, a psychologist at Leipzig University whose work straddles the disciplinary boundaries of open science, research transparency, and causal inference. Julia is also an editor at Psychological Science and has spent much of the last decade politely pointing out that psychologists often don’t quite know what they’re estimating, why, or under which assumptions.We talk about the state of psychology after the replication crisis, whether open science reform...

Science FictionsEpisode 93: Many analystsHere’s a cheery one for our first episode of the year. Guess what happens when you give several sets of scientists the same dataset and ask them to answer the same question? Well, they all find the same results, right? Right!?Sadly not. This “Many Analysts” problem has been analysed and debated in multiple different scientific fields and across several papers. We cover them in this episode. What does it tell us about the objectivity of science if different teams draw different conclusions from the exact same data?The Science Fictions podcast is brought to you...

The trouble is, despite the importance, a lot of the science on “wellbeing” tends to be very rickety.But did you know that even one of the best-known findings of wellbeing research—the midlife crisis, or “inverted U shape” of happiness over the lifespan—has been questioned?

Südtiroler Wochenmagazin ff – Aufs OhrMadeleine Rohrer: Verlieren wir die Konzession der A22?Madeleine Rohrer, die Landtagsabgeordnete der Grünen, über die Vergabe der Konzession für die Brennerautobahn
Die Vergabe der Konzession für die Brennerautobahn ist für Südtirol eines der wichtigsten politischen Themen der letzten Jahre. Seit über zehn Jahren heißt es: die neue Ausschreibung kommt – aber dann kommt sie doch wieder nicht. Ende Dezember des vergangenen Jahres veröffentlichte der Staat schließlich die lang erwartete Ausschreibung, Landeshauptmann Arno Kompatscher sprach von einem „Projekt zum Wohle der Region.“ Es dauerte aber nicht lange und schon gab es wieder Probleme. Möglich also, dass die A22 künftig in auswärtig...

Among NBA basketballers, taller players don’t do any better. These are all facts. But the interpretation you might immediately draw is completely wrong.It turns out that these findings (and many more) might be due to the weird and under-discussed phenomenon of “collider bias”. Everyone who’s interested in scientific methods knows what a confounder is—but do they know what a collider is? In this episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart attempt to explain.We’re...

Einzelkinder sind verwöhnt, Sandwich-Kinder schwierig und Nesthäkchen verweichlicht. So lauten einige der Klischees über die Persönlichkeiten von Geschwistern.
Aber stimmen sie wirklich? Macht es für unsere Persönlichkeit einen Unterschied, ob wir als erstes, zweites oder vielleicht auch drittes oder viertes Kind geboren wurden? Und was, wenn wir gar keine Geschwister haben?
Antworten auf diese Fragen hat die Persönlichkeitspsychologin Dr. Julia Rohrer von der Universität Leipzig.

Two Psychologists Four BeersThe C-Word (with Julia Rohrer)Personality psychologist and methodologist Julia Rohrer joins the show to talk about causal claims, strategic ambiguity, and how tough it is to tell what empirical claims many psychology papers are making. To illustrate, we subject Yoel's first paper, "Conservatives are more easily disgusted than liberals," to some vigorous post-publication peer review. We also discuss what makes Julia most hopeful about psychology, as well as the recent progress in alcohol-free beer.Special Guest: Julia Rohrer.Links:Two Psychologists Four Beers on UntappdWho would win, 100 duck-sized strategic ambiguities vs. 1 horse-sized structured abstract? – The 100% CIPsyArXiv Preprints | The On...

The Black GoatJoe Public, Will You Marry Me?In recent years there has been a lot of talk about public trust in science - how much there is, in what ways, whether we deserve it or not. In this episode, we discuss an article by historian and philosopher Rachel Ankeny that asks whether "trust" is even the right concept to be talking about. What does it mean to trust an abstraction like "science"? When people argue about trust in science, are they even talking about the same thing - the findings, the people, the process, or something else? And we discuss Ankeny's proposed alternative: that instead of...
2020-04-011h 00The Black GoatJust Be CauseMany important questions about cause and effect are impractical to answer with a randomized experiment. What should we do instead? In this episode we talk about doing causal inference with observational data. Has psychology's historical obsession with internal validity led it, ironically, to think about causal inference in an unsophisticated way? Can formal analytic tools like directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) tell us how to do better studies? Or is their main lesson don't bother trying? How do norms and incentives in publishing help or hurt in doing better causal inference? Plus: We answer a letter about applying to psychology...

What are the benefits of acknowledging one’s privilege and calling it out in others? Are there drawbacks to focusing on the immutable characteristics of a person that might normally proffer advantages? If all our characteristics are unearned, that is products of biology and environment that we have zero control over, should people be praised or blamed for them? But, first, they discuss new internal analyses by Google suggesting it has been over...

Is it a luxury to be able to do without active self-promotion? How do cultural and other differences play into self-promotion?
