  • Test your wits with a set of hypothetical health studies and find out just how good you are at spotting clickbait.
    --
    Health headlines are published every day, sometimes making opposite claims from each other. There can be a disconnect between broad, attention-grabbing headlines and the often specific, incremental results of the medical research they cover. So how can you avoid being misled by grabby headlines? Jeff Leek and Lucy McGowan explain how to read past the clickbait.
    Lesson by Jeff Leek and Lucy McGowan, directed by Zedem Media.

      I hope you will do something on news/sports headlines. Those are the worst. They usually twist the intention or sensationalize a trivial part of an interview and while the headline is technically factual, it is not in context or disingenuous. Ex. CNN: "Bill Nye's profanity ridden video goes viral". I would also recommend watching Veritasium's recent video on why his video went viral. It is not just the headline but the thumbnail and it is TH-cam's algorithm that drives this.

      When looking for references for a project or essay, I sometimes see people who only search information based on titles, and rarely ever read the whole article they're referring to. In that case, it is helpful to know how to actually spot clickbait and stop spreading misinformation.
      Clickbait is obvious at best and discrete at worst, either way they are misleading.

      It's not necessarily about *avoiding* clickbait, it's about understanding it. After all, I've seen some things with clickbait titles that were actually quite good (this video, and others). Avoiding it outright is difficult to impossible, but being able to investigate and discover the truth is quite valuable.

    2:32 One problem is also that this study design doesn’t actually study the change in stress level but just the absolute stress level after the intervention. To have a study of this kind be valid, you’ll have to assess baseline stress level (e.g. a week before the intervention) so you can analyse the _difference_ in stress in each group and compare that (e.g. with a t-test for unpaired samples)

    I had come up with a different set of reasons for distrusting the first two headlines: the first one seemed like it didn't take in count regression to the mean, which would make cholesterol levels resemble average in time. The second one seemed wrong because there wasn't a control group - we have no idea about how much chocolate participants ate before the experiment. They might have been eating a lot more, and therefore the experiment showed that going cold turkey on chocolate habit is stressful, while having at least one chocolate a day helps feeling slightly less stressed

    One thing I was surprised wasn't called out in the chocolate-and-stress study was the fact that the study doesn't necessarily price the chocolate was what made the difference. Maybe the act of snacking, regardless of the content, lowers stress. Maybe being forced to abstain is RAISING stress (even if the students didn't eat chocolate before, having it be specifically forbidden might have an effect).

    For the eating chocolate one the graphs are uneven they start at different levels the chocolate eaters start at less stress but the non-chocolate eaters start with high stress in fact if you put the chocolate eaters overlapped with the non-chocolate eaters it would probably figure out that the chocolate eaters have more stress

    One thing to note that I heard of a research author. You can contact them personally and ask for a copy to read. When you buy content o sites or magazines, most of the income does not reach the author. It is not illegal to ask them for a copy of their article to read for your personal use. That way you can value more who did it.

    Also, in chocolate/stress, they didn't account for stress levels before the study - they could as well stay unchanged, if one group was more stressed to begin with.
