Yup. And this should have been blindingly obvious to everyone involved in writing/reviewing/editing the original paper -- the effect size reported was just far too large. <10% parole before and >70% after lunch? That's not a mood swing. Especially since a lot of parole cases are very very routine, and not really close judgement calls.
- ruytlm 8y agoIf this was at all realistic, we'd also see similar effects in people in other fields - bus drivers more likely to crash before lunch, etc. That we don't see such an outrageous difference implies that the original study is not tracking the relevant variable when it looks at before/after lunch.
