I hate it when I get it wrong. I hate it even worse when I get caught getting it wrong. Of course I have enough experience in both areas that it should be old hat, but I still have to address it.
I was taken to task on these pages on several points, and rightfully so. In my efforts to make the article brief and at least mildly interesting I failed to adequately address several challenges common to designing, conducting, analyzing and reporting of social science research. Of course I didn’t claim to be conducting research, but it gives us a chance to discuss the importance of understanding these topics as we make public and personal decisions.
Some research similarly suggests that autism symptoms commonly occur at about the same age at which the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine is administered — irrespective of whether those children actually received the vaccine.
But even if the research is designed and conducted carefully and effectively, reporting of findings is still a problem. It is very difficult for one to publish articles in scientific journals that run contrary to popular opinion. (PhD’s still like to be among the cool kids.) Popular media is more likely to highlight provocative and titillating (read: odd, unusual or unorthodox) trends and behavior. “If it bleeds it leads,” and if it smells it sells.
Perhaps more importantly, the truth is that we are all social scientists in our own right, coming to conclusions in response to what we see. We would be wise to carefully consider how we observe, organize, assume, talk and choose, because we don’t just live in this world — we create it.
