Qualitative work is hard - but important to better understand complex phenomena like faking in questionnaires. A big thanks to Jessica Röhner and Astrid Schütz for taking me along on this quest. See our faking model in this paper: doi.org/10.1111/ijsa.12513

How effective is human-AI collaboration?
A meta-analysis of 106 studies just published in @NaturHumBehav reports an interesting result:
On average, there was no synergy: Human–AI combinations did not perform better than both humans and AI.
In particular, when the AI alone outperformed the human alone, the human–AI combination led to performance losses, likely because humans were unable to integrate the suggestions provided by the AI.
Conversely, when the human outperformed the AI alone, there was some synergy and human–AI combination led to performance gains, likely because this time humans were better at integrating the AI suggestions.

Little is known, although much is theorized, about the long-run benefits of boosting children's social-emotional skills.
Across 450 post-test & follow-up impacts from 86 RCTs, we found similar fadeout rates for intervention impacts on social-emotional & cognitive skills.

ALT We meta-analyzed variance of prosocial behavior in economic games, and found that all facets of situational strength (high consequences, high constraints, high clarity) were associated with restricted variance in behavior.

LLM participants cannot replace human participants for psychometric research, at least, not yet!
Be aware if you plan to derive anything about human behaviors with "LLM participants." In this 100-page paper, we show how current LLM-generated psychometrics responses cannot capture nuances where human individuality resides and how to evaluate it properly. #AI4SocialScience

@ChatGPT and humans agree when judging public figures' personalities. Beyonce, WillSmith2real, and TheRock are perceived as extremely conscientious. realDonaldTrump and lindsaylohan top the charts in emotional instability and carelessness. (SO UNFAIR!)
