PsychFileDrawer blog, commenting on Association for Research in Personality newsletter

I've started blogging at PsychFileDrawer.

One of our first posts is addressed to the Association for Research in Personality newsletter:

Regarding your article entitled "Personality Psychology Has a Serious Problem (And so Do Many Other Areas of Psychology)",

We agree wholeheartedly with your diagnosis of a major problem in publication practices in psychology. As you explain, any solution has to include a reduction in the systematic bias against publishing non-replications that now exists. Such a bias seems to be present in the editorial practices of all of the major psychology journals.  In addition, discussions with colleagues lead us to believe that investigators themselves tend to lose interest in a phenomenon when they fail to replicate a result, partly because they know that publishing negative findings is likely to be difficult and writing the manuscript time-consuming.  Given these biases, it seems inevitable that our literature and even our textbooks are filling with fascinating "findings" that lack validity.  Read the rest at the PsychFileDrawer blog.

Any ideas for enticing people contribute replication attempts to PsychFileDrawer will be gratefully received!
