To what extent are research results influenced by subjective decisions that scientists make as they design studies? Fifteen teams independently designed studies to answer five original questions related moral judgments, negotiations, and implicit cognition. Participants from 2 separate large samples (total N > 15,000) were then randomly assigned complete 1 version of each study. Effect sizes varied dramatically across different sets materials test the same hypothesis: Materials rendered...
This crowdsourced project introduces a collaborative approach to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, in which findings are replicated qualified independent laboratories before (rather than after) they published. Our goal is establish non-adversarial replication process with highly informative final results. To illustrate Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) approach, 25 research groups conducted replications all ten moral judgment effects last author and his...
In this crowdsourced initiative, independent analysts used the same dataset to test two hypotheses regarding effects of scientists' gender and professional status on verbosity during group meetings. Not only analytic approach but also operationalizations key variables were left unconstrained up individual analysts. For instance, could choose operationalize as job title, institutional ranking, citation counts, or some combination. To maximize transparency process by which choices are made, a...
Drawing on the concept of a gale creative destruction in capitalistic economy, we argue that initiatives to assess robustness findings organizational literature should aim simultaneously test competing ideas operating same theoretical space. In other words, replication efforts seek not just support or question original findings, but also replace them with revised, stronger theories greater explanatory power. Achieving this will typically require adding new measures, conditions, and subject...
Science is often perceived to be a self-correcting enterprise. In principle, the assessment of scientific claims supposed proceed in cumulative fashion, with reigning theories day progressively approximating truth more accurately over time. practice, however, self-correction tends less efficiently than one might naively suppose. Far from evaluating new evidence dispassionately and infallibly, individual scientists cling stubbornly prior findings. Here we explore dynamics at an rather...
How can we maximize what is learned from a replication study? In the creative destruction approach to replication, original hypothesis compared not only null hypothesis, but also predictions derived multiple alternative theoretical accounts of phenomenon. To this end, new populations and measures are included in design addition ones, help determine which theory best for results across key outcomes contexts. The present pre-registered empirical project Implicit Puritanism account intuitive...

Abstract We present the data from a crowdsourced project seeking to replicate findings in independent laboratories before (rather than after) they are published. In this Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) initiative, 25 research groups attempted 10 moral judgment effects single laboratory’s pipeline of unpublished findings. The were investigated using online/lab surveys containing psychological manipulations (vignettes) followed by questionnaires. Results revealed mix reliable,...
We tested whether large language models (LLMs) can help predict results from a complex behavioural science experiment. In study 1, we investigated the performance of widely used LLMs GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in forecasting empirical findings large-scale experimental emotions, gender, social perceptions. found that GPT-4, but not GPT-3.5, matched cohort 119 human experts, with correlations 0.89 (GPT-4), 0.07 (GPT-3.5) 0.87 (human experts) between aggregated forecasts realized effect sizes. 2,...
Abstract Demonstrating the limitations of one-at-a-time approach, crowd initiatives reveal surprisingly powerful role analytic and design choices in shaping scientific results. At same time, cross-cultural variability effects is far below levels initially expected. This highlights value “medium” science, leveraging diverse stimulus sets extensive robustness checks to achieve integrative tests competing theories.
In this retrospective honoring the exemplary psychologist Daniel Kahneman (1934 - 2024), we present a curated selection of quotes from academic community reflecting on his ideas. These submissions, gathered wide range scholars, highlight Kahneman's contributions to fields spanning attention, judgment, decision-making, and well-being. From exploration cognitive biases ground breaking work prospect theory, research revolutionized our understanding human behavior decision-making. Beyond...
