Title: A Chain as Strong as Its Strongest Link? Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Biases Arising from Selective Analysis and Reporting of Research Results.
Authors: Gelman, Andrew1 (AUTHOR) gelman@stat.columbia.edu
Source: Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness. Jul-Sep2024, Vol. 17 Issue 3, p459-461. 3p.
Subject Terms: Policy analysis
Abstract: In policy analysis it is common for there to be selection bias in reporting and publishing. We discuss some potential policy implications of systematic overreporting of positive and statistically significant results which leads to a feedback loop of bad studies, repeatedly spinning off unrealistic optimism followed by disappointment.
