  • Actual title of the research paper is Elective co-parenting with someone already known versus someone met online: implications for parent and child psychological functioning.

    It compares a small sample of two different co-parenting situations, and while it does conclude they are both within “normal range”, it certainly doesn’t make or justify the claim in the headline, which doesn’t even mention co-parenting.





    1. The article argues campaigning with Liz Cheney seems to have no effect. Calling it an “electoral fiasco,” especially in the headline, clearly implies that it was detrimental in a significant way.
    2. The evidence that the rallies were ineffective is comparing Harris’s results against Biden’s. This is terrible analysis. This should be at least a difference-in-difference comparison (the difference in the change vs Biden, using similar counties that were/weren’t visited). Useful evidence that their analysis actually works would be applying it to strategies they think were positive, and showing the relative improvement there.

    The problem is there isn’t anything “useful” for understanding humans [in evolutionary psychology]. Yes we can come up with plausible evolutionary justifications for behavior like cooperation, but they are basically untestable and useless for predictions.

    Edited to clarify I mean specifically evolutionary psychology.
