Interpreting replications by Dr Jill Jacobson

About the speaker

Dr Jacobson is a social psychologist who has taught statistics and research methods at the undergraduate and graduate level for the last 20 years. Her primary research is on the social-cognitive and social-behavioral consequences of various self-constructs such as depression, causal uncertainty, and self-esteem importance. More recently, she has begun examining topics in meta-science including a SSHRC-funded project on participant prospection and non-naïveté.

About the talk

This seminar will discuss how we evaluate when a replication should be considered failure/success and what that means for original studies.
