According to an article in Ars Technica, "Psychologist Nicolas Guéguen's large body of research is the kind of social psychology that demonstrates, and likely fuels, the Mars vs. Venus model of gender interactions, with its assertions, for example, that men consider women wearing red to be more attractive. But it seems that at least some of his conclusions are resting on shaky ground. Since 2015, a pair of scientists, James Heathers and Nick Brown, has been looking closely at the results in Guéguen's work. What they've found raises a litany of questions about statistical and ethical problems. In some cases, the data is too perfectly regular or full of oddities, making it difficult to understand how it could have been generated by the experiment described by Guéguen." In addition to identifying questionable research outcomes, Heathers and Brown learned that some of Guéguen's methodologies put female researchers in sexualized situations. These types of concerns are central to Research Integrity and Trustworthy Science, a conference that will be held on the University of Minnesota campus on March 8. Eminent, nationally-known presenters will address data fabrication, selective data reporting, predatory journals and concerns about the reproducibility of scientific findings.
