Does Psychology Need SWaG? The Ethics of Naturalistic Experiments

-
Diederik Stapel. Brian Wansink. Nicolas Guéguen. Anyone who's been following recent debates over research integrity in psychology will recognize these as three prolific and successful academic psychologists who have suffered a total (Stapel) or ongoing (Wansink, Guéguen) fall from grace in the past few years. If you're not familiar with these cases, you can start by reading over Nick Brown's blog. Brown has been at the centre of the investigations into irregularities in Wansink and Guéguen, a

What are some psychological facts that people don't know?

90% of people between 10–29 years sleep with their phones. It is possible to die due to a broken heart. It is called as stress cardiomyopathy. If a person sleeps a lot, then he/she is sad. Having conversation with a woman gives man improved mental strength. Intelligent people are more likely to remain faithful while in a relationship. You have a favourite song? That's because you are emotionally attached to that song. 1 in 5 people of India are mentally depressed, making it the most depressed country in the world. Most of us suffer from Phanthom Vibration syndrome. The feeling that your phone is vibrating when it's actually not. There is a gene that can cause you to be negative most of the time. It takes only 4 min. to fall in love. People who easily get distracted are more creative and tend to have more IQ. 10% of world population is left handed. The larger your signature, the larger your self esteem. The smaller your handwriting, the lesser you are open to conv...

How many solar panels are required to set up 1MW power plant?

Would you believe 150,000 panels! You asked a very open ended question. To provide a good estimate we need to make a few assumptions: 1 MW continuous ( 24 MWh / day) no other sources of energy are available operation for 3 days with heavy cloud cover the storage system will be recharges in 3 days system installed in New England (my home) able to provide 1 MW continuous even in the winter months Based on these assumptions I’ll walk you though the process. Please adjust the numbers to fit your particular situation. Step 1: Estimate solar resources We start by looking at the solar resources available at the location of interest. Based on this map the solar insolation for my home on the Southeastern Connecticut is about 2.5 kWh/m^2/day. Source:  Solar Maps | Geospatial Data Science | NREL Step 2: Estimate size of array This simple equation is all we need: Energy = η η AILS Where: η η  (Greek letter eta) = Efficiency of the solar panel.
