I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

The piranha problem: Large effects swimming in a small pond.

In a lot of social science research, small, random factors are reported as having large effects on social and political attitudes and behavior (social priming, hormonal levels,parental socioeconomic status, weather, ...). Studies have claimed to find large effects from these and other inputs.

The results show that it would be extremely unlikely to have all these large effects coexisting—they would have to almost exactly cancel each other out.

arXiv.orgThe piranha problem: Large effects swimming in a small pondIn some scientific fields, it is common to have certain variables of interest that are of particular importance and for which there are many studies indicating a relationship with different explanatory variables. In such cases, particularly those where no relationships are known among the explanatory variables, it is worth asking under what conditions it is possible for all such claimed effects to exist simultaneously. This paper addresses this question by reviewing some theorems from multivariate analysis showing that, unless the explanatory variables also have sizable dependencies with each other, it is impossible to have many such large effects. We discuss implications for the replication crisis in social science.
