It's not totally obvious that there is variance due to study & some studies contribute >1 samples but not many.03 Feb 2024 15:51 +0000at://did:plc:e7k2cbpppgzjuuk4lmq3gdnt/app.bsky.feed.post/3kkjkui5g3t2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/sabinedoebel.bsky.social/post/3kh5kdh73i32cHot take: sharing your data should not be optional in 2023.

Convenience samples have a bad rap. What role, if any, should they have in developmental research? @mcxfrank.bsky.social & I argue they can--under some conditions--help achieve key goals of the field: advancing theory & reducing bias. How?

Want to avoid throwing data out & would be great to test siblings. I learned to not test siblings because doing so violated assumption of independence but...it's 2023, is there no way to just model that dependence or is it not worth it?05 Nov 2023 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:e7k2cbpppgzjuuk4lmq3gdnt/app.bsky.feed.post/3kdhogyfhwl2m
