Boundary Conditions for the Practical Importance of Small Effects in Long Runs: A Comment on Funder and Ozer (2019)

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Funder and Ozer (2019) argued that small effects can haveimportant implications in cumulative long-run scenarios.We certainly agree. However, some important caveatsmerit explicit consideration. We elaborate on the previously acknowledged importance of preregistration (andopen-data practices) and identify two additional considerations for interpreting small effects in long-run scenarios: restricted extrapolation and construct validity
