Nominator's project description
| Professor Trafimow is an international authority in the area of psychological methodology. His research has shaped key debates on topics such as significance testing, Cronbach’s alpha, skewed normal distributions, meta-science, and scientific best practices. Professor Trafimow’s work on auxiliary assumptions and replication research plays a crucial role in restoring confidence in the behavioral sciences. In Germany, he continues to re-establish a positive attitude toward science through his contribution to timely methodological questions. |
