Eustress is a popular idea in the world of work. The idea that some stress can be positive (improving performance) to a point and then past that point the stress hurts performance.

I can just imagine some leaders I've met sizing individuals up and asking themselves (cue the cackle): "How much pressure can I apply to this person for better performance."

Update: Mistake. I do my best to be careful when digging through problematic ideas. Normally I prefer it when the one source does all of the heavy lifting and I’m not making any connections. In this case after @flowchainsensei comments I contacted Cindy Nebel, the original author (on the learning science blog) was only taking the concept of stress in learning. Her article is good. Reading her notes, it seemed like I was reading about Eustress ….

….The problem is that while Eustress has a similar claim, the original paper doesn’t rely on Yerkes Dodson Law and it so my associating the two was invalid. When I was investigating, I searched to see if various trustworthy sites that write about psychology had linked Eustress to Yerkes-Dodson. I found several that did and I thought this was my smoking gun. After rereading, I realized that my linkage isn’t supported by the literature.

Lesson learned, prefer a single source that makes all the linkages. Don’t make any linkages on my own. Where practical read the original research to double check.

L'accademia italiana si preoccupa solo delle riviste predatorie di piccolo cabotaggio perché per la valutazione di stato conta dove pubblichi, non che cosa pubblichi. Per leggere delle ritrattazioni (#retraction) italiane bisogna andare altrove: https://www.roars.it/a-volte-ritrattano/

Forget about a 'replication crisis' in #science (for the moment). The crest of a #retraction tidal wave is forming.

"[T]he total number of retractions issued so far [this year] has passed 50,000."

Come watch me review how to critically dissect a published paper. I use the now-retracted Hopewell-ending cosmic airburst paper as an example.

Congratulations to the team on their big news of their being acquired by @crossref

This database is an invaluable tool for and it is great to hear it will continue and be open and freely available:

Also good to hear this will support the wider activities of the team in the investigative journalism they do

Often referenced "masks do harm" study retracted.

See: https://frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1221666/full

Editors: "...complaints were valid ... the article does not meet the standards of editorial & scientific soundness..."

Will likely live on as a zombie & the retraction will become part of a conspiracy narrative.

A study on the harms of face masks was retracted. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1221666/full. My analysis of mask-related injuries found a very small number, especially falls, rashes, and probable anxiety attacks. Altogether 1.5 per 100,000 Americans in 2020, and 5.3/100k over age 75. Similar to extension cords, 1/18 as dangerous as jewelry. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/f3wbn/
