So the revised version, has a new title.įinally, I can now disregard the request from the editor, Scott Maxwell, on behave of reviewer Daryl Bem, to change the name of my statistical index from magic index to incredibilty index. I also learned a few things about titles. So, I decided to publish an abridged (it is still long), lightly edited (I have learned a few things since 2011), and commented (comments are in ) version here. While I was proud to have published in this prestigious journal without formal training in statistics and a grasp of Greek notation, I now realize that Psychological Methods was not the best outlet for the article, which may explain why even some established replication revolutionaries do not know it (comment: I read your blog, but I didn’t know about this article). It took nearly two years for the manuscript to get published in Psychological Methods. In 2011 I wrote a manuscript in response to Bem’s (2011) unbelievable and flawed evidence for extroverts’ supernatural abilities.

The ironic effect of significant results on the credibility of multiple-study articles.
