DESCRIPTION:In research comparing gender\, sexuality\, or racial groups\, p
 articipants identifying outside traditional categories are frequently excl
 uded from analyses or reassigned to more “convenient” categories witho
 ut their input. These practices are often justified on pragmatic grounds\,
  e.g.\, concerns about statistical power or appropriateness of drawing inf
 erences from small subgroups. However\, such decisions systematically remo
 ve marginalized identities from empirical evidence\, producing gaps in the
  literature about some of the most vulnerable populations. \n\nThis unconf
 erence will present reflections on these analytic decisions and the tensio
 ns they raise between research ethics\, statistical validity\, and practic
 al constraints. Using original data\, we will show example strategies we h
 ave used to retain participants with low-frequency identities by giving th
 em choice in how their data are used. The session will conclude with a str
 uctured discussion with attendees to generate ideas for improving study de
 sign\, analytic practices\, and reporting standards in research involving 
 identity-based group comparisons.

DESCRIPTION:Health Service Psychology trainers promote rigorous research me
 thods and statistical training\, yet causal inference is often treated imp
 licitly or deferred to advanced electives. We contend that causal inferenc
 e should be viewed as part of the common core of doctoral training – a u
 niversal intervention that benefits all students\, whether it is specific 
 to students’ research focus or simply supports better conceptualization 
 of research problems. We revisit the central role of theory and articulate
  problems guiding research designs\, which are often taught to students. W
 e plan to illustrate how trainers can help students better appreciate when
  and why psychologists should care about causation\, not merely associatio
 n. We aim to develop discussion of pedagogical strategies for “hand-over
 -hand” training that moves beyond rote warnings (e.g.\, “correlation i
 s not causation”) toward teaching of more principled causal thinking. Fi
 nally\, we consider the downstream effects of including more causal infere
 nce in graduate training.
