Thanks Chris .. this is a terrific article and many undergrads can plow through
it. I have gone back and forth on the p versus CI (which is simply rearranging
the math) versus effect size issue and have come to the conclusion that we have
to keep our options open and not use one rule to evaluat
Hi
Interesting article, although I need to think more about it. One obvious
weakness is the old canard about effect size being a better indicator of
importance than p value. The author uses the example of a divorce rate change
being tiny: "meeting online nudged the divorce rate from 7.67% dow
An interesting article about the problems of p-values that might even be
understandable to undergraduates.

It seems to me that ,if you are one these people who takes IQ very seriously
as a fixed, inherent quantity (like Eysenck, Jensen, Rushton, Murray, etc.)
then this looks like an important finding. But, if you take IQ more
pragmatically, as a mere test that allows one to predict (rather roughly)
This article is worth reading carefully IF you wanted to start untangling IQ,
religiosity, academic disciplines etc ... I did a quick read, not enough to get
it all, but enough to realize the importance of operational definitions. Much
research is cited. There is also some interesting data to th
Mike Palij points out that Dutton would appear to have a major inconsistency to
address in his theory (he seems to say, in different articles, that religiosity
is both positively and negatively correlated with intelligence). If I were

Applied programs are technology or engineering;
they are based on science, but are not themselves science.
And rather than talking about physical vs social sciences (or diseases), we
should talk about what defines science and whether a given practice fits that
definition.

But is psychology a physical science or a social science or both??? And what
about our applied programs ... clinical, school, organizational, ...?
Take care

I have a copy of Ed Dutton's paper (sent from him), but he says that you can

Is it merely the fact that physical scientists, on average, have higher IQs
(duh, more math!) and are also less religious (whatever that means) than other
scientists? If so there are a host
