I know that you know what I’m thinking: Really excited that our @JHUEducation lab now has two forthcoming pieces on #socialperspectivetaking in a pair of @APA_Journals. Definitely some of our best thinking on trying to figure out what others are thinking (and feeling). (1/7)

Fascinating new paper uncovers a fresh cognitive bias: The illusion of information adequacy. Many of us believe we have "enough" information to make decisions—even when we're missing key details. Next time you're totally sure about something, ask yourself: -- What might I not know? -- What information am I missing? -- What have a gotten wrong?

Do you actually have enough information to get through your day without reading our new @PLOSONE paper... or is it just an illusion? journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… Huge thanks to @Carly__Robinson & @OhioState's Angus Fletcher for all their insights! @JHUeducation

Congrats to @JHUeducation's @XueWang297 for her brilliant idea on how teachers can use AI to save themselves time & help students learn more! Delighted to be included and grateful to @the74million's @BevWeintraub for the savvy editorial work: the74million.org/article/ai-cre…

Super honored to have my book on Publishers Weekly list of 10 Debut Nonfiction Books to watch this fall! 🙈🙈🙈 publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/au…

Another data point on how important taking students' perspectives can be for fostering better teacher-student relationships... kudos to teachers for taking the time to invest in these relationships during all the challenges of the pandemic!

Huge thanks to @JHUeducation's Li Li for the collaboration, to @PanoramaEd for their help on this project, and to @BevWeintraub for the masterful editing!

@jillbarshay @gerardsans @Carly__Robinson Good clarification @jillbarshay. Personally, I don't think it is bad practice at all & I do it frequently. However, our lab often doesn't publish the tinkering phase; when we do we are clear that these are *exploratory* analyses. *Confirmatory* analyses should be preregistered.

@HunterGehlbach @gerardsans @Carly__Robinson I don't understand why it's bad research practice to tinker around with prompts, of refine an intervention before rigorously testing it. To me, that's very different than p-hacking, where you make small changes to your regression models until you get statistical significance.

Researchers pitted man against machine in giving feedback on 200 middle and high school history essays. ChatGPT beat the teachers in 1 aspect of writing feedback, and it was close in 4 others. hechingerreport.org/proof-points-w…

@jillbarshay @gerardsans My take is that it is fair to say that both iterating/refining an intervention and p-hacking are common in educational research. In case it is helpful, here's a piece @Carly__Robinson and I wrote to try to disentangle the gray line: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@gerardsans *Isn't it

Okay, if the perks of the job include meeting Stevie Wonder, then it ain't so bad....#idied #seriouslythough 🤩🤩🙈🙉🙊

@RGGonzales1 @hahriehan Ha... don't you mean, "Is the other guy Stevie Wonder?"😜

This week, from the archive: Listen to mom! In honor of Mother’s Day this past Sunday, I selected a piece from our archive by @HunterGehlbach about how his mom overcomes the “mother of all biases”—confirmation bias. behavioralscientist.org/how-my-mother-…

@AndrewDeanHo @MatthewAKraft @LauraMStapleton @jw_snyder @seanrobertgill Very helpful as always @AndrewDeanHo... quick follow up question. For respondents, these response options are a confusing hot mess (see below from journals.lww.com/academicmedici…) Can IRT help unpack/sort out that different respondents conceptualize "average" in different ways here?

@MatthewAKraft @LauraMStapleton @jw_snyder @seanrobertgill @HunterGehlbach The model helps to define what "average" is in terms of responses to items. In the figure above, you could draw a line at 0, which is average, and 1) say what they would report in terms of each item scale and 2) predict what percent answers at any item scale point and above.

Amazing new paper from @HunterGehlbach on "The illusion of information adequacy" which shows we are too confident we have enough info to confidently understand a situation scholar.google.com/scholar_url?ur…
