I have a friend who got a PhD in psychology. She had me look over her analysis and it was bad. The two "highlights" were: 1. Her advisor told her to use a student's t-test for multivariate data. 2. When the P value insufficiently low to reject the null hypothesis, he walked her through p-hacking the data. |

She was aware that the statistics were not strong, but they were horrendous.
After helping her to get at least a bit back on track I developped a strong skepticism to anything published without a rewiew of the stat methods. Which is almost everything one can read in the press.
