Der ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test ist „der Zufriedenheits-Index“ der Radfahrer in Deutschland. Mehr als 100.000 Bürgerinnen und Bürger haben 2014 mitgemacht und die Fahrradfreundlichkeit in 468 Städten beurteilt. Per Fragebogen haben sie bewertet, ob das Radfahren Spaß oder Stress bedeutet, ob Radwege im Winter geräumt werden und ob sie sich auf dem Fahrrad sicher fühlen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, wo sich Verkehrsplaner und politisch Verantwortliche erfolgreich für besseren Radverkehr einsetzen oder wo sich Radfahrende von ihnen allein gelassen fühlen. Der ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test ist die größte Befragung zum Radfahrklima weltweit und findet zum siebten Mal statt. Das Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur (BMVI) fördert den Fahrradklima-Test im Rahmen des Nationalen Radverkehrsplans.

To cycle or not to cycle … in Japan

Contrary to appearances bicycles are ubiquitous in Japan. But there is more to be done. The word “Japan” conjures up many different images: from kimono-clad geisha and sushi to martial arts and otaku culture. Bicycles, however, are definitely not among them. When it comes to cycling the first places that come to mind are the Netherlands or Portland, Oregon (the most bike-friendly city in the US), to say nothing, of course, the hundreds of millions of cyclists in China. Nevertheless, Japan is one of the world’s great cycling nations.

The findings of the replication project are published as part of a Registered Replication Report (RRR) in Perspectives on Psychological Science.

The prevalence of statistical reporting errors in psychology

This study documents reporting errors in a sample of over 250,000 p-values reported in eight major psychology journals from 1985 until 2013, using the new R package “statcheck.” statcheck retrieved null-hypothesis significance testing (NHST) results from over half of the articles from this period. In line with earlier research, we found that half of all published psychology papers that use NHST contained at least one p-value that was inconsistent with its test statistic and degrees of freedom. One in eight papers contained a grossly inconsistent p-value that may have affected the statistical conclusion. In contrast to earlier findings, we found that the average prevalence of inconsistent p-values has been stable over the years or has declined. The prevalence of gross inconsistencies was higher in p-values reported as significant than in p-values reported as nonsignificant. This could indicate a systematic bias in favor of significant results. Possible solutions for the high prevalence of reporting inconsistencies could be to encourage sharing data, to let co-authors check results in a so-called “co-pilot model,” and to use statcheck to flag possible inconsistencies in one’s own manuscript or during the review process (cf. Nuijten et al., 2015). […]

Efforts to promote replication, preregistration, and new analytic approaches now represent just some of the advances psychological scientists have been making toward improving research practices in the field. With the recognition that long-accepted research practices have certain inherent problems comes the question: What now? […]
