Sedgwick","doi":"10.1080/09332480.2022.2123159","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09332480.2022.2123159","url":null,"abstract":"Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) has become the cornerstone of decision-making in clinical and healthcare research. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) is considered the gold standard for inferring that contextual significance exists. However, such practice is controversial since it was never intended for contextual significance to be inferred based on statistical significance. There have been frequent calls for the abandonment of NHST incorporating the bright-line rule of p < 0.05. The call for a statistics reform represents challenges for the teaching of statistics in the Health Sciences. NHST and p-values are central to traditional undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. It is suggested that whatever the future for NHST, it still needs to be taught. It is important that students appreciate the challenges that inferences based on NHST pose. To avoid such challenges in the future, a greater understanding of the underlying statistical principles is needed. Curricula are typically lacking in these principles, whilst they are difficult concepts based on probability and uncertainty. This may have contributed to the controversial practice of inferring contextual significance from statistical significance. A framework for the teaching of NHST and p-values is presented.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"12 1","pages":"33 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86932732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider this question in the context of the Bem (2011) paper reporting extra-sensory perception among Cornell students, which received a lot of attention in part because the editors made the decision to publish the article despite extreme skepticism of its claims. We consider the reasons, good and bad, for journals to publish such papers, and then we propose an alternative way in which the journal could publish without seeming to endorse outlandish claims. Our proposal is to flip the standard scheme of scientific publication by privileging data rather than strong conclusions presented with an air of certainty. This proposal could work for the publication of \"big if true\" claims more generally.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"197 1","pages":"41 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79933568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
