Professor and Social Psychologist. I love teaching stats. Blog: https://notawfulandboring.blogspot.com/ Book: https://seagull.wwnorton.com/statistics

Dr. Jess Hartnett

New post! A Reddit user compared the ethnicity of characters in movies to US Census data. I see an expected-proportions chi-square test. Or challenge your students to develop a methodology for collecting a more robust sample of movie ethnicities. notawfulandboring.blogspot.com/2026/06/an-e...

NEW POST! According to new research, gulls appear to be more wary of men than of women. Use this to teach t tests, or combine it with a previous gull behavior post (indeed, I have two such posts now) to teach your students about factorial ANOVA. notawfulandboring.blogspot.com/2026/05/moar...

Friends...can you send me recommendations for your favorite psych papers that use SEM? I'm looking for simpler models that UGs can understand with a little help. Please accept my favorite example of a truncated y axis as payment. Thanks!

R, Python, Stata, SPSS, SAS, Matlab

With great sadness, I must announce that the time of the meme has come again.

I need to share two file uploads from my stats student. Despite what you may assume, he did v well on the exam.

New post: I used GenAI to create a fake dataset that mimics real findings. Here, I found new example to teach my students about independent t tests. The original research even involves CBT (a bonus for any psychologists who teaches stats). notawfulandboring.blogspot.com/2026/05/usin...

Great for RM class.

All the philosophy students who pursued their passion made a wise decision. Learning how to think is a always a good investment. Psychology grads are not doing too badly on the job market either.
