[tips] Canada-US health study

[sblack]

I know my American friends on this list would want to know 
about this study, so I'm happy to oblige.

http://tinyurl.com/Can-US-health-study

What strikes me is that the difference is not particular 
impressive, although it does favour Canada (yet the authors 
themselves claim their work shows Canadians to be 
"substantially healthier" than Americans). 

And on the positive side, assuming that the authors are correct 
in attributing it partly to differences in health care systems, I 
have heard that you folks recently made some changes to 
yours. Hopefully, it'll help you get back those lost years of life.

Has anyone had this kind of distribution for course evaluations? I have.

  Maybe I'll post my rebuttal of the reviewer of Clancy's book to Amazon.com.

I'm seeing the makings of a wonderful chi-square test of independence analysis 
(when compared to a non-controversial book) for my statistical methods 
students... Woo Hoo!

For those TIPSters, like John Serafin, desiring more data (I assume he means 
bigger sample sizes), here's another one from Amazon.com for the very book to 
which Joan Warmbold is referring (I assume), Paul Offit's (excellent, in my 
view), "Autism's False Prophets" (funny - I initially typed "Profits," which I 
quickly realized may be a Freudian parapraxis):

104 Reviews
5 star:(70)
4 star:(6)
3 star:(0)
2 star:(2)
1 star:(26)

   And following up further on Joan's comments, here is the Amazon.com 
distribution for Loftus and Ketcham's "Myth of Repressed Memory":

18 Reviews
5 star:(8)
4 star:(5)
3 star:(0)
2 star:(0)
1 star:(5)

  Of course, I haven't presented any data from the "control condition" 
(noncontroversial books), so take these data for what they're worth.  Still, in 
the Reichenbach "context of discovery," they're certainly good reason to 
further explore this hypothesis, I'd think.

Polarization is almost inevitable when a person/author takes a
controversial stand.  I recall when the author of a book that  provided
overwhelming evidence /against/ the cause-effect relationship between
vaccines and autism, he decided to cancel his book tour due to death
threats.  Another analogy is with Elizabeth Loftus's controversial
findings on false memories.  As terrific as her contributions have been
to our understanding of prone to error we can be when retrieving
memories, she also polarized the public as well as the psychological
community.  Taking such stands as these three have takes great courage
of conviction.

What other way but mode John?  Both mean and median would not reveal the 
bimodal quality of the data.  In fact, bimodal says it all, right?  Joan

RE: [tips] belated response to critique of Susan Clancy book

[Lilienfeld, Scott O]

In my admittedly anecdotal observations of Amazon.com reviews (wouldn't be hard 
to study empirically), these kinds of highly polarized reviews are typical of 
books on controversial topics (Sue's book is exceedingly controversial, 
although I agree with Joan Warmbold that it's well worth reading - at least 
from the parts I've read).

If anyone out there ever wants a good display of a bimodal distribution, 
see this little plot of the Amazon.com reviews of our book (Wood, Lilienfeld, 
Garb, & Nezworski, 2003) "What's Wrong with the Rorschach" below:

Customer Reviews
13 Reviews

5 star: (7)
4 star: (0)
3 star: (0)
2 star: (0)
1 star: (6)

  The review titles are funny too..."Nearly rubbish," "A terrible book," "A 
hypocritical screed by clinicians who should know better," "A good read with 
profound implications," "Fascinating and provocative," and "An excellent book."

  Maybe I'll post my rebuttal of the reviewer of Clancy's book to Amazon.com.  
I'll think about it

In fact, it did not (according to a quick scan I just did). Michael's
misunderstanding is a result of a clumsy and unintentionally
ambigous statement on my part. I was trying to say that it was
the original critical review which was posted on Amazon which
made its way to TIPS, not Scott's review.

The author regrets, etc., etc. BTW, 38 customer reviews were
posted to Amazon. 39% of them gave her book 5 stars
(outstanding); 42%, 1 star (stinks). Reveals a bit of polarization,
no?

RE: [tips] class presentations

[Marc Carter]

I've used a couple of novels.  In methods we read An Instance of the Fingerpost 
to learn something about how science works, in a freshman core class on the 
self we read Being There, and in my learning class this semester we read Walden 
Two.

The presentations were not about the novels, but used the evidence from the 
novels to support points that the presentations made.

It works pretty well.  And the students and I find it fun to read literature 
(although Walden Two probably doesn't qualify; I love Skinner, but a novelist 
he wa'n't).

Interesting discussion of this in Insider Higher Ed today.

Power point is a tool.  It can be used well. It is often used badly.  The
point is to figure out how to use it well and to know when some other tool
is better suited to our communication needs and goals.


Exactly.  If what you mean to criticize is bullet-point slides or
unhelpful flowcharts, criticize those.  Powerpoint is just fine for
showing pictures.  More people need to know about the "b" key, which
will tell Powerpoint to show a black screen until you hit "b" again
(presumably when you need to show another picture).

It beats overhead transparencies.

Re: [tips] belated response to critique of Susan Clancy book

[Michael Smith]

I'm glad Scott took the time to respond and enjoyed reading his reply.

I'm also glad Scott's review made it to Amazon. The reviewer's
comments may not be a "scientific" review, but they would be the ones
read by people considering the book, and perhaps the only comments
general readers may be exposed to.

Such a review could prevent a possible reader from even reading the
book, and perhaps convince them that they now know all they need to
know by reading just the review. Ater all, it would probably fit with
their own pre-existing viewpoint.

I think it's valuable and worthwhile for a review such as Scotts to
also be made available to the public (on Amazon).

Is it perhaps part of the psychological community's responsibility to
provide to the public a correcting review such as Scott's on a public
forum such as Amazon? Although, perhaps the author of the book bears
more of that responsibility.

Just read Crazy Like Us:  The Globalization of the American Psyche by Ethan
Watters.  Loved it.

RE: [tips] Summer reading

[Helweg-Larsen, Marie]

Yes the third book (in British) has been coveted and circling around my group 
of friends. I read all 3 a couple of years ago (in Danish - they got translated 
to other European language several years earlier). The 3 movies are also quite 
good. They are available in the US (subtitled) now but in very limited 
circulation (in a few major cities). I heard that SONY bought the film rights 
to so they can remake them (I guess US audiences will not want to watch the 
Swedish actors and read subtitles).

I highly second this recommendation for pleasure reading. I have read the first 
two and immensely enjoyed them. My daughter has gotten the third one from 
England and is giving it to me for my birthday. I am anxiously waiting (luckily 
only a week more). A good way to decompress from the end of the semester.

A caveat though (at least for the first one):  It's very grizzly, and if
you're a person who can't handle graphic accounts of sexual abuse, be
warned.  Good escapist stuff though, if you can.
