I really agree with this. People sometimes state research questions about change and then use latent growth or time-varying effects interchangeably, despite those techniques estimating fundamentally different quantities.

It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries

I don’t agree these should ever be required. Voluntary statements, probably mostly good. But I have a right to personal privacy when I’m writing about my research.

Screenshot of the "Does that use a lot of energy?" online app

Hannah Ritchie has built a fun little tool where you can compare energy usage of various products and activities.

This is super helpful imho, because it's so hard to develop intuitions even just about the scales involved here.

I'm disappointed and saddened tonight by the Algonquin College Board of Governors' decision to cut 30 critically important programs. Programs that led to employment, that built our community, that made our economy stronger. This goes way beyond Mr. Ford's "basket weaving" quip.

Later school start times are the one extremely evidence-based change that’s likely to dramatically improve kids’ and teens’ well-being but because it’s so inconvenient for adults it’s quickly dismissed

Do You Agree? Do You Strongly Agree? The Effect of the Number of Response Categories on Response Processes and Verification of Substantive Hypotheses Abstract. This study investigates how the number and labeling of response categories in survey scales affect respondent behavior, psychometric properties,

This is consistent with earlier psychometric work that suggests 5-7 is the best response scale options, but good to see that the finding holds up in contemporary research. Also, good to see that labeling scales whether anchored or not has little impact on findings. academic.oup.com/ijpor/articl...

β€œWhat we’re simply endorsing is Trump’s sort of new obsession with becoming an imperial power,” says former foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy.

"We have been here before, and once knew better. In 2003, Canada refused to join the American invasion of Iraq because there was no Security Council resolution, and the case for war rested on preventing a hypothetical future WMD threat. Today...we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject."
