Six Things to not Like about NHST

Today, in 1996, my fascination with these problems is undiminished. But I've developed a certain angst over the intervening thirtysomething years—a constant, nagging feeling that our field spends a lot of time spinning its wheels without really making all that much progress. This problem shows up in obvious ways—for instance, in the regularity with which findings seem not to replicate. It also ...

The Biopsychosocial Model: Exploring Six Impossible Things

In our view, the biopsychosocial model is a vision and an approach to practice rather than an empirically verifiable theory, a coherent philosophy, or a clinical method. In some cases, when that vision is confused with ideologic dogmatism, it can invite abandonment of the vision entirely or in selected situations. The authors suggest that habits of mind may be the missing link between a biopsyc...

P35: How to Manage Anxiety

Anxiety is a mental state that is elicited in anticipation of threat or potential threat. Sensations of anxiety are a normal part of human experience, but excessive or inappropriate anxiety can become an illness. Anxiety is part of the normal human experience. We may speculate that it served human survival during evolution by enhancing preparedness and alertness. However, anxious manifestations...

Effects of genuine dimension-six Higgs operators

Abstract We systematically discuss the consequences of genuine dimension-six Higgs operators. These operators are not subject to stringent constraints from electroweak precision data. However, they can modify the couplings of the Higgs boson to electroweak gauge bosons and, in particular, the Higgs self-interactions. We study the sensitivity to which those couplings can be probed at future ee l...
