Improving the Conduct and Reporting of Statistical Analysis in Psychology

Klaas Sijtsma (), Coosje Veldkamp and Jelte Wicherts

Psychometrika, 2016, vol. 81, issue 1, 33-38

Abstract: We respond to the commentaries Waldman and Lilienfeld (Psychometrika, 2015 ) and Wigboldus and Dotch (Psychometrika, 2015 ) provided in response to Sijtsma’s (Sijtsma in Psychometrika, 2015 ) discussion article on questionable research practices. Specifically, we discuss the fear of an increased dichotomy between substantive and statistical aspects of research that may arise when the latter aspects are laid entirely in the hands of a statistician, remedies for false positives and replication failure, and the status of data exploration, and we provide a re-definition of the concept of questionable research practices.
