Many prominent psychologists have offered several helpful suggestions in this regard (\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/pigee.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/16\/are-conceptual-replications-part-of-the-solution-to-the-crisis-currently-facing-psychological-science\/\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/pigee.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/16\/are-conceptual-replications-part-of-the-solution-to-the-crisis-currently-facing-psychological-science\/\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sometimesimwrong.typepad.com\/wrong\/2014\/03\/having-it-all.html\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E, and \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/news\/nobel-laureate-challenges-psychologists-to-clean-up-their-act-1.11535\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E).\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nAmong the many suggestions for building a better psychological science, perhaps the simplest and most parsimonious way to improve research methods is to \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/datacolada.org\/2014\/04\/04\/18-mturk-vs-the-lab-either-way-we-need-big-samples\/\"\u003Eincrease sample sizes for all study designs\u003C\/a\u003E: By increasing sample size researchers can detect smaller real effects and can more accurately measure large effects. There are many trade-offs in choosing appropriate research methods, but sample size, at least for a researcher like me who deals in relatively inexpensive data collection tools, is in many ways the most cost effective way to improve one\u0026#39;s science. In essence, I can continue to design the studies I have been designing and ask the same research questions I have been asking (i.e., business-as-usual) with the one exception that each study I run has a larger N than it would have if I were not thinking (more) intelligently about statistical power.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EHow has \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.krauslab.com\/\"\u003Emy lab\u003C\/a\u003E been fairing with respect to this goal of collecting large samples?

This week, Buzzfeed published 15 such tests in\none 24-hour period. It seems every day on my Facebook news feed, someone has\nposted new results from one of these quizzes. Online personality tests have\nexpanded beyond the traditional format of telling us certain traits we possess,\nalthough those do still exist (try \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.humanmetrics.com\/cgi-win\/jtypes2.asp\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.queendom.com\/tests\/access_page\/index.htm?idRegTest=1110\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E). Now, there are also tests\nthat give us information about ourselves by comparing us to people or characters we know\n(“Which pop star should you party with?” or “Which children’s book character\nare you?”) and by comparing specific behaviors\nor knowledge to others’ (“How many classic horror films have you seen?” or “How\nwell do you know ‘90s R\u0026amp;B lyrics?”). \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjimcSJDnr44EzDouOO0pgFRpFH9FjvKAPeES0Brt6-dGU9aFZIN-VWVgKhTCYbNdCQQ1R1gy0UMk2as3xDfPWIGzUhg-hMmHIgrKHp7pysUeMgC6zXGzIGsU7epiQXIJPw2QLpkyDzyz0\/s1600\/whichoffice.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjimcSJDnr44EzDouOO0pgFRpFH9FjvKAPeES0Brt6-dGU9aFZIN-VWVgKhTCYbNdCQQ1R1gy0UMk2as3xDfPWIGzUhg-hMmHIgrKHp7pysUeMgC6zXGzIGsU7epiQXIJPw2QLpkyDzyz0\/s1600\/whichoffice.jpg\" height=\"133\" width=\"200\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.buddytv.com\/articles\/the-office\/which-office-character-are-you-15907.aspx\"\u003Esource\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\nRegardless of which type of personality test you prefer (I’m\nnot sure that all of these can be considered tests of personality, but we’ll\nstick with that label for now), these tests have two things in common: they ask\nus questions about ourselves, and then they tell us about ourselves. But aren’t\nwe the experts on ourselves? Why should we need to take these tests to figure out who we are? Though it seems that the clues to our personality simply lie within us, below I outline three reasons we might be\nmotivated to take personality tests anyway. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2014\/04\/why-do-we-take-personality-tests.html#more\"\u003ERead More-\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/feeds\/788170623128861524\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2014\/04\/why-do-we-take-personality-tests.html#comment-form","title":"1 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/788170623128861524"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/788170623128861524"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2014\/04\/why-do-we-take-personality-tests.html","title":"Why Do We Take Personality Tests?"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Kate Reilly Thorson"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/11255571381689720249"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"30","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-FCDJEJt5_qw\/TzBUA_PRzcI\/AAAAAAAAAD0\/yfFROj7OKFs\/s220\/KReilly.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj3f1HYj2S2tcSqetVt3fIyAVIkAppyhHCHiKPIBSP5JH9PPwNQXuJuPREsvDqBdTAGQMtMUABSRhltYABTTvdVKtrIpk-7Sak-BBPxzWX70wqXj0I8P-jpZRjTVwbX1-U9dXnVxIcp0qY\/s72-c\/quiz_panel_490.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"1"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-8215823150668431529"},"published":{"$t":"2014-03-13T21:13:00.001-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2014-03-13T21:13:32.127-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Michael"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Personality Psychology"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Research Ethics"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Research Methods"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Scientific Writing"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Social Psychology"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"I'm Using the New Statistics"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiRSGE03meEkVbyAvndSs3baBv8H8ejOYhsLRJ0jxmIBXsdOuKFp9ybCDSRYftRrsFA34s3EEsmlG0fvMTr9Z3Q7ovAMmYL802SB31H6DWABU0ngibzpH7SQTLfGMnoIkLQY2sclgRZxKo\/s1600\/Lead.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiRSGE03meEkVbyAvndSs3baBv8H8ejOYhsLRJ0jxmIBXsdOuKFp9ybCDSRYftRrsFA34s3EEsmlG0fvMTr9Z3Q7ovAMmYL802SB31H6DWABU0ngibzpH7SQTLfGMnoIkLQY2sclgRZxKo\/s1600\/Lead.jpg\" height=\"212\" width=\"320\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EDo you remember your elementary school science project?\u003C\/b\u003E Mine was about ant poison.

Years later, I would learn more about hypothesis testing in undergraduate and graduate statistical courses on my way to a social psychology PhD. For that degree, Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) would be my go-to method of inferential statistics.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\nIn NHST, I have come to \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/friday-fun-one-researchers-p-curve.html\"\u003Ean unhealthy worship of p-values\u003C\/a\u003E--the statistic expressing the probability of the data showing the observed relationship between variables X and Y, if the null hypothesis (of no relationship) were true.
