I feel like this is a strong contender for the 2023 Ig Nobel prize in psychology
They have banger entries for psychology
> Miranda Giacomin and Nicholas Rule, for devising a method to identify narcissists by examining their eyebrows
>Fritz Strack, for discovering that holding a pen in one's mouth makes one smile, which makes one happier—and for then discovering that it does not.
> Evelyne Debey and colleagues, for asking a thousand liars how often they lie, and for deciding whether to believe those answers.
- raverbashing 3y agoFunnily enough they quote a person called "Harry Frankfurt" which really sounds like some name made for a cartoon or something
- alehlopeh 3y agoI feel like you just wanted to reference some studies you enjoy and call them bangers, because only the last one could be considered similar to the linked study, and even then, only barely and superficially.
- sebstefan 3y agoI'm even replying to this just to say banger again
- nathan_compton 3y agoAre you kidding? This paper hews dangerously close to bullshit itself.
- svnt 3y agoMaybe you missed the Ig?
- nathan_compton 3y agoDuh.
- mbork_pl 3y ago> Miranda Giacomin and Nicholas Rule, for devising a method to identify narcissists by examining their eyebrows A one-element sample of a certain Doctor seems to indicate a strong correlation...
- boomboomsubban 3y agoI have no idea who you're joking about, so this post is "a doctor exists that both has (or does not have) eyebrows and seems to be a narcissist."
- mbork_pl 3y agoWell, the Twelfth Doctor, of course.
- svnt 3y agoSo many misses in this paper — mistaking adjacencies for similarities, not defining culturally-referenced terms adequately. It is a perfect paper for accidentally exposing their own implicit biases and ontologies.
- emmender 3y agoThe value added by the paper is to direct the readers attention to BS - and make them think about it.
