My generation and the one before us have done little to rein these in. (Bishop 2019)
my field evolves as new evidence replicates some effects and not others. The key power posing effect has been replicated at least nine times, even in Ranehill and colleagues’ well-powered study with 200 participants. Yet the Ranehill study did not replicate the hormone shifts and risk-taking effects. My scientific evaluation of the various effects will update as new information comes in. (Cuddy 2016)
Who should we get advice from?
I look to:
If Amy Cuddy is a victim, she may not seem an obvious one: She has real power, a best-selling book, a thriving speaking career. She did not own up fully to problems in her research or try to replicate her own study… But many of her peers told me that she did not deserve the level of widespread and sometimes vicious criticism she has endured. “Amy has been the target of mockery and meanness on Facebook, on Twitter, in blog posts — I feel like, Wow, I have never seen that in science,” Van Bavel says.
