Are you unintentionally p-hacking? A prevention workshop

A p-hacking prevention workshop | June 2nd | AT 15.00- 17.00
In research it is common to use p-values to decide whether an effect is found in a study or not. But can the p-value be trusted? It turns out that more often than researchers realize, it cannot! Too often researchers unintentionally p-hack their results to their favored outcome. The fact p-hacking (most often) happens unintentional is scary, it means that it potentially can happen to all of us. In this workshop we will discuss what p-hacking is, how it happens, how to spot it, and importantly, what researchers can do to prevent it from happening as best as possible.
