Toward a More Credible Communication Science: Empirical Inspections and Reflections

2024-05-07 11:51:00

Whereas “crisis” has featured in many titles in recent psychology research, communication science is still awaiting more evidence from the discipline’s self-inspection. Amidst the field's protean profusion of publications, the scientific validity of our knowledge claims remains an open question. This talk examines on our research practices on two fronts, statistical power in experimental research and publication bias in meta-analysis, as low power and high positive bias have been shown to plague other social science disciplines. I present my research that assesses publications from top communication journals. These glimpses invite further critical reflections on our current research practices as well as our collective responsibilities in reshaping them.
