Episode 76: Preregistration (What is it Good For)

Two Psychologists Four Beers

Alexa and Yoel talk about objections to preregistration. Does preregistration imply that researchers can't be trusted? Does it mean that they can't use their best judgment? When might preregistration be unhelpful? We also discuss researcher degrees of freedom in a recent paper testing Cardi B's maxim that "hoes don't get cold."

Plus: ketchup on ice cream, and Alexa's controversial replacement for Daylight Savings Time.
