in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks • • •- assuming that individual effects will predict collective effects on a totally different timeframe, the underlying assumption being that those collective effects we're genuinely interested in are just the additive result of many individual effects measured on a completely different timeframe
- timeframe choices in general which have no correspondence to the real question's timeframe

in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks • • •- total unawareness of models that aren't linear. The assumption that basic model checks justify the model in every way (they only justify for certain things)
- refusal to incorporate empirically-validated social science measures THAT EXIST. FOR THESE TOPICS. WHY.

in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks • • •- SOOOOO much argument from authority. A company name and an author brand is not the same thing as persuasive evidence. Kill it with fire.
- extremely weird default to thinking that any effect must generalize to all groups of people and all types of situations. Little awareness of "situation" as a unit of analysis in general?? Little awareness that different reactions can be elicited from the same people depending on interactions with situations which is pretty key to human questions

in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks • • •- something I have taken to calling "factor madness." Papers that are just big dumps of "themes" identified across either a body of lit or from lists generated by participants which are proposed as coherent factors to explain, or cause, something (often productivity). These overwhelming lists of factors typically contain constructs that could arguably be combined and are filtered entirely through the pre-existing language that practitioners have to work with.
This isn't construct development.
rhempel
in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks • • •Are you referring to Q-Method here? I've got mixed feelings about this because it LOOKS objective (because numbers) but you can get wildly different groupings across primary factors, and in the end it's the research team that builds a story around the archetypes identified by the factors.
Is it real? Is it measurable? Is it reproducible? I dont know.
But it IS useful (in my opinion) to put up a handful of archetypes for developers and then start to drill down into what we need to measure to help those developers feel better at work.
There are of course some things that help a large class of humans feel better at work, but why do some developers thrive while others merely cope IN THE SAME environment?
I have no idea but I'll bet it's complicated.
