Because I certainly thought that Harvard should be aware of what I was looking at, but I didn't want to play a central role in making that happen.

You know, I've been connected to so many research projects where, as the most senior member of the team, I never looked at the database. So, you know, does that make me guilty of something? I think yes. I think that it makes me complicit that I didn't do more verification, that I thoroughly trusted

And I think that I should be somewhat accountable for the fact that I didn't do a better job of verifying, not just in the signing first paper, but in my research more broadly. And when, you know, in the signing first paper, I was bothered by some aspects of the data, and I asked a lot of questions back in 2011. But I eventually got an answer that I wanted to be true, and I accepted it.

And I never looked at that database at that time either. Do I wish I did? Absolutely. I'm not sure that this story would be unfolding today had I looked at that data in 2011. There's so many positive influences that social science can have, from getting us to eat healthier foods, to exercising more, to saving for our retirement.

And social scientists have been remarkably good at helping figure out how do we get people moving in the right direction. And the vast majority of that work is honest, credible research that we should pay attention to. And if we now end up having sort of the big story being fraud in social science, then all the credible stuff is going to have less value and less impact than it should.
