A few ideas from developmental psychology literature

[apreshill]

Great idea! I have saved a few datasets for teaching/workshops/etc. that I find interesting, typically having to do with my area of expertise but some are more random...

The Human Fetus Preferentially Engages with Face-like Visual Stimuli

• Publication from Current Biology
• Data via Harvard Dataverse
• Pretty simple dataset, but I do have an R script for tidying and plotting that I could contribute

Children Use Wealth Cues to Evaluate Others

• Publication from PLOS ONE
• Data from Figshare

Tall claims? Sense and nonsense about the importance of height of US presidents

• Publication in The Leadership Quarterly
• Data from Supplementary Material

• SPSS dataset from Figshare

• Publication in PLOS ONE
• Data from Data Dryad

Also, I've had this link bookmarked for awhile: 7 Datasets You've Likely Never Seen Before

I have others but I'll stop for now :relaxed:

Sorry for the delay on this and thanks, @apreshill! We should find a time to chat about this in person.

@ismayc coffee or lunch next week? Although I hear we should all stay home for eclipse week as traffic is predicted to be apocalyptic...

Want to shoot me an email? I only have your reed.edu address, not sure if that still works!

@apreshill That's creepy.

I had a reminder set to email you in 2 minutes 😄 .

I will email you right now!

@apreshill Let's revisit this later. (Maybe end of September?) I'd like to work on getting the data you have included above into R as .rda files with documentation in a way that matches with "Tame Data" principles outlined here. The files with data dictionaries will take some caution and care in processing for sure. We might need to meet in person again to talk about the process you usually go through to get this data into R as I don't have much experience working with data like this.
