DESCRIPTION:Questionable measurement practices are decisions researchers m
 ake that raise doubts about the validity of the measures\, and ultimately 
 the validity of study conclusions. They make it impossible to evaluate a w
 ide range of potential validity threats to the study’s conclusions. I wi
 ll demonstrate that psychology is plagued by a measurement schmeasurement 
 attitude: QMPs are common\, offer a stunning source of researcher degrees 
 of freedom\, pose a serious threat to cumulative psychological science\, b
 ut are largely ignored. I will review a list of questions researchers and 
 consumers of scientific research can consider to identify and avoid QMPs. 
 I'll provide examples of transparent answers to these measurement question
 s\, which will promote rigorous research\, allow for thorough evaluations 
 of a study’s inferences\, and are necessary for meaningful replication s
 tudies.\nLink to the paper: https://psyarxiv.com/hs7wm/\n\nClick-through f
