More on 🚩🚩🚩in research.

When we can identify the theoretical stance of researchers (& by implication, their preferred findings), by the way the study was designed, our science is in trouble.

All methods encourage some kinds of findings over others. Sometimes it’s as obvious as ‘confirm what I think I already know’ vs ‘make room to hear things we had not thought of before’.

The first path makes for solid careers. Critiquing the methods used by people who are comfortable in their niche does not make you popular.

The ConversationHow does consciousness work? Duelling scientists tested two big theories but found no winnerWhen it comes to consciousness, theories are like toothbrushes. Everybody has their own and nobody wants to use anybody else’s.

Discover the benefits of investigator triangulation! By involving multiple researchers, you can reduce biases, harness diverse perspectives, and improve credibility and reliability in your findings. This collaborative approach offers a richer, more comprehensive understanding of your research topic. Include investigator triangulation in your research design and elevate your research methodology. qdacity.com/investigator-trian

Working with qualitative data and aiming to generate theory from it?
Grounded theory offers a systematic approach, built on constant comparison, theoretical sampling, and iterative coding. This method doesn’t start with hypotheses but lets the theory emerge from the data itself.

Help out Research Methods students who are replicating published psychology studies. They only have a short time to collect data and I'd love for them to have big enough sample sizes for their results to mean something!

The spreadsheet has all the studies they are running. If you can, take a couple of them. Boosts are appreciated!

How transparent is your #Research process?
An #AuditTrail is your research roadmap, a detailed account of every decision, method, and reflection. By documenting your process from design to analysis, you enhance the transparency and credibility of your work. It’s a cornerstone of #QualitativeResearch, promoting #Trustworthiness and enabling others to evaluate and build on your findings.
