SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Where are the self-correcting mechanisms in science?
DESCRIPTION:Professor Simine Vazire\, Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences\, University of MelbourneAbstract:\nWe often hear the self-correcting mechanisms in science invoked as a reason to trust science\, but it is not always clear what these mechanisms are.  Some quality control mechanisms\, such as peer review for journals\, or vetting for textbooks or for public dissemination\, have recently been found not to provide much of a safeguard against invalid claims.  Instead\, I argue that we should look for visible signs of a scientific community’s commitment to self-correction.  These signs include transparency in the research and peer review process\, investment in error detection and quality control\, and an emphasis on calibration rather than popularization.  We should trust scientific claims more to the extent that they were produced by communities that have these hallmarks of credibility.  Fields that are more transparent\, rigorous\, and calibrated should earn more trust.  Metascience can provide scientists and the public with valuable information in assessing the credibility of scientific fields.\nBio: \nSimine Vazire is a professor in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.  She has two lines of research. One examines people’s self-knowledge of their personality and behaviour and another examines the individual and institutional practices and norms in science\, and the degree to which these norms encourage or impede self-correction and credibility.  She is a board member of PLOS and the Berkeley Institute for Transparency in the Social Sciences\, was a member of the US National Academy of Science study committee on replicability and reproducibility\, and co-founded the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS). She is Editor in Chief of Collabra: Psychology and has served as editor at several other journals.\nThis is a Hybrid event so you can join in person or via the Webinar link below:\nHEYDON LAURENCE LECTURE THEATRE 217 (DT ANDERSON) (You are encouraged to please wear a mask if attending in person)\nWebinar Link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/s/85943288395
