Another famous psychology study, David Rosenhan's “On Being Sane in Insane Places,” appears to have been made up. nypost.com/2019/11/02/sta…

Apparently skepticism arose as early as 1975! twitter.com/prof_burchett/…

"Made up" seems far too strong, an injustice both to the original study and to the critical comment- which did not say "made up" by any stretch. This is ho-hum methodological bias stuff, very familiar in prestigious research in economics.

Agreed, "made up" is too strong. But it looks to me like academic misconduct, far more serious than "bias."

Yes, "absence of evidence is evidence of absence" and other myths we tell people to sell a book.This is crap, and l want to see real evidence.

Evidence that he reported suicidality (inconsistent with what was reported in the study) is huge enough to warrant the conclusions of the study inaccurate.

"Rosenhan, I began to realize, may have been the ultimate unreliable narrator."
"In my new book... I paint the picture of a brilliant but flawed psychologist who is likely also a fabulist."
The author sure goes out of their way to avoid calling him simply what he is - a liar.

the mental heath crisis today is a tough one. Do we keep allowing the troubled to sleep on the streets or do we go back to locking them up in institutions based on pseudoscience? He may have been a liar, but it’s not clear he was wrong

But he could have been right without being a liar. In the era of fake news, fake research is damaging to real research. Good research methods and real results are so important to scientific integrity.
