**Full show notes**
In episode 34 we covered a blog post that highlighted questionable analytical approaches in psychology. That post mentioned four studies that resulted from this approach, which a team of researchers took a closer look into. Dan and James discuss the statistical inconsistencies that the authors reported in a recent preprint.
Some of the topics covered:
- Trump (of course)
- A summary of the preprint
- The GRIM test to detect inconsistencies
- The researchers that accidently administered the equivalent of 300 cups of coffee to study participants
- How do we prevent inconsistent reporting?
- 21 word solution for research transparency
- Journals mandating statistical inconsistency checks, such as 'statcheck'
