Join the National Association of Scholars for the launch of "Shifting Sands: Zombie Psychology" on Thursday, October 17, at 2 pm ET.

The National Association of Scholars’s project Shifting Sands: Unsound Science and Unsafe Regulation ([link removed]) examines how irreproducible science negatively affects select areas of government policy and regulation.

Keeping Count of Government Science: Zombie Psychology, Implicit Bias Theory, and the Implicit Association Test, the fourth policy paper in the Shifting Sands project had two objectives: 1) to examine implicit bias theory and its use in practice, and 2) to perform two technical studies of the reproducibility and predictability of the IAT measurement in research. In this report, we explore how radical activists have used implicit bias theory as the justification for policies by the federal, state, and local government, and by American private institutions and enterprises, to remake American government and society.

A great deal of modern scientific research uses statistical methods guaranteed to produce flawed statistics that can be disguised as real research. Scientists’ use of flawed statistics and editors’ complaisant practices both contribute to the mass production and publication of irreproducible research in a wide range of scientific disciplines.

This event will feature Hal Arkes, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University, and researcher in the domain of judgment and decision making with emphasis on economic, legal, and medical decision making; Lee Jussim, a social psychologist and Distinguished Professor at Rutgers New Brunswick’s Psychology Department; Warren Kindzierski, Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Alberta School of Public Health, and co-author of all four Shifting Sands projects; Amy Wax, Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and accomplished author and legal scholar; and Stanley Young, the CEO of CGStat and Director of the Shifting Sands project.
