Hi, I’m currently working on an assignment regarding p-hacking. I want to make the point that p-hacking can have real-life consequences, as the data being put out there could be applied in the wrong way. I already have an example of how p-hacking led to the WHO canceling their distribution of malaria medication.
But, I need a specific example from psychology, and I can’t find anything. I find plenty of papers explaining that p-hacking is common and why it’s a problem, but no concrete examples of studies where p-hacking was discovered. Does anyone have an example in mind? Or maybe a study whose results have been questioned?
Thank you in advance!

I imagine you mean farside instances, right?
If so, that’s a good question to which I don’t have an answer… I’m actually interested if you find others or host one yourself.

I don’t think a bot is the right way to do this if it’s not on the instance’s ToS, but I don’t speak for lemmy.ml ;)
