Document Summary
Hidden brain when great minds think unalike: inside science"s replication. Researchers are starting to see that many results of studies fail to hold up when replicated, this is called the replication crisis. Many of the claims have serious problems: fabricated data, fraud, missing context etc. Ppl are so focused on finding new and unusual findings that earlier work usually goes uncrosschecked, even though reproducibility is what makes a claim credible. Less than half of the cases can only reproduce the original results. Going to restaurants and ordering food but also observing behaviour. Asian women in math: there are negative stereotypes about women in math, but a positive one about asian people in math. They expected for the stereotype that was made salient to be applied. Reminding asian women about their gender (asking them to identify their gender on a form before taking a math test)-> negative stereotype at work. Reminding asian women about their ethnicity -> positive stereotype at work.
