Kosinski, Michal·2025·Handbook of Social Psychlogy 6th Edition

Abstract

Globally, billions of people use online platforms and digital devices to communicate, socialize, study, shop, and work … These digital footprints of thought and behavior are commonly captured and recorded, creating extensive datasets widely referred to as Big Data … an invaluable resource for researchers interested in the human mind and behavior.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Even if personal data is protected, non-personal data can be used to statistically infer identifiable information, which may be linked to medical data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
