Although replication is a central tenet of science, direct replications are rare in psychology. This research tested variation the replicability thirteen classic and contemporary effects across 36 independent samples totaling 6,344 participants. In aggregate, ten replicated consistently. One effect – imagined contact reducing prejudice showed weak support for replicability. And two flag priming influencing conservatism currency system justification did not replicate. We compared whether...
White–Black relations have historically been the defining form of intergroup in study prejudice and discrimination. The present article suggests that there are limitations to applying this model understanding bias toward other groups proposes a comprehensive view dynamics Anglos' Latinos requires consideration distinctive elements relations. In four empirical studies, we experimentally document discrimination against (Study 1), explore potential dimensions underlie 2), examine effect...

While direct replications such as the “Many Labs” project are extremely valuable in testing reliability of published findings across laboratories, they reflect common reliance psychology on single vignettes or stimuli, which limits scope conclusions that can be reached. New experimental tools and statistical techniques make it easier to routinely sample appropriately treat them random factors. We encourage researchers get into habit including multiple versions content (e.g., stimuli...
We conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance to examine variation effect magnitudes across sample setting. Each protocol was administered approximately half 125 samples 15,305 total participants from 36 countries territories. Using conventional statistical significance (p &lt; .05), fifteen (54%) the provided evidence same direction statistically significant as original finding. With a strict...
Two studies (a) explored the role of pervasiveness discrimination (pervasive vs. rare) in determining targets' responses to discrimination, and (b) examined extent which threats participants' worldview can account, part, for detrimental effects pervasive discrimination. As predicted, across both studies, moderated relationship between attributions prejudice failure obtain a job psychological well-being (depressed affect state self-esteem). When was presented as pervasive, related lower...
People's Belief in a Just World (BJW) plays an important role coping with misfortune and unfairness. This paper demonstrates that understanding of the BJW concept, its consequences for behavior, is enhanced if we specify what (or who) source justice might be. We introduce new scale, 5-Dimensional Treatment Scale (BJT5), which distinguishes five causal dimensions (God, Nature, Other People, Self, Chance). confirm 5-factor structure BJT5. then address whether should be considered uni- and/or...
This manuscript contains our responses to several commentaries about the Many Labs Project (Klein et al., 2014).
This dataset is from the Many Labs Replication Project [1] in which 13 effects were replicated across 36 samples and over 6,000 participants. Data replications are included, along with demographic variables about participants contextual information environment replication was conducted. collected in-lab online through a standardized procedure administered via an link. The stored on Open Science Framework website. These data could be used to further investigate results of included or study...
The current research aims to investigate whether perspective taking influences social tuning, or the alignment of one's self-views, explicit attitudes, and/or implicit attitudes with those an interaction partner. In six different experiments, participants believed they would interact a partner complete task. Prior this ostensible interaction, were given mindset prime, not, and information about their partners views. Participants then completed attitude measures related partner's perceived...
This paper reports a pilot study to determine the potential impact of an integrated STEM curriculum on Pre-K teachers' engineering content knowledge, self-efficacy and teaching practice. Using randomized control trial design, researchers examined in 17 classrooms (8 intervention classrooms, 9 classrooms) central Massachusetts. Questionnaires measuring practice were administered participating teachers (N=42; 21 intervention, control) Fall 2017 again Spring 2018. Baseline analysis showed no...
The current work examined why collectivists engage in more chronic social tuning: to seek harmony or avoid rejection. In Study 1, 159 Asian participants self-reported being motivated rejection a situation involving tuning. 2, 190 engaged tuning classmate's perceived views when primed than harmony. While study 3 found that 192 American reported avoiding situations, 4, showed 206 did not Collectivists will tune and reduce prejudice This warrants future attention cultural variation other domains.
Bandura argues that individuals are more likely to engage in social learning when they identify with a model and motivated or rewarded. Therefore, the present work, we investigate how these two key factors, perceived similarity affiliative motivation, influence extent which tuning align their views an interaction partner—especially if partner’s attitudes differ from larger group. Experiment 1 (170 participants) explored role of through group membership needing work collaboratively...
