In the January 2022 issue of Perspectives, Götz et al. argued that small effects are "the indispensable foundation for a cumulative psychological science." They supported their argument by claiming (a) psychology, like genetics, consists complex phenomena explained additive effects; (b) psychological-research culture rewards large effects, which means being ignored; and (c) become meaningful at scale over time. We rebut these claims with three objections: First, analogy between genetics...
Face masks are now worn frequently to reduce the spreading of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Their health benefits undisputable, but covering lower half one's face also makes it harder for others recognize facial expressions emotions. Three experiments were conducted determine how strongly recognition different is impaired by masks, and which emotions confused with each other. In experiment, participants had happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, disgust, as well a neutral expression, displayed male...
Abstract: Background: The Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA) recently completed a large-scale moral psychology study using translated versions of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale (OUS). However, have no validity evidence. Objective: investigated structural evidence OUS across 15 and produced version-specific reports. Methods: We analyzed data from PSA, which was collected internationally on centralized online questionnaire . also qualitative feedback experts for each version. Results:...
Every year, billions of people celebrate Christmas all over the world—a religious event that is characterized by transient yet considerable changes in people’s social, cultural, and demographic environment. Drawing on Bias Crowds model, we investigate impact implicit bias. In Study 1, used Project Implicit data more than 4 million White US Americans find affects bias scores towards Black people, Arabs, with a darker skin tone, Judaism, Islam, gay people.. 2, conduct high-powered...
Terror Management Theory (TMT) proposes that when people are made aware of their own death, they more likely to endorse cultural values. TMT is a staple social psychology, being featured prominently in textbooks and the subject much research. The implications associated with significant, as its advocates claim it can partially explain conflicts, intergroup antagonisms, even war. However, considerable ambiguity regarding effect size exists, no preregistered replication death-thought...
Sundown towns refer to places that restricted or excluded the movement settlement of racial and ethnic minorities within their borders. Though civil rights legislation largely put an end official aspects, cultural legacy sundown may persist today geographical regions. In present research, we examine whether geographic distribution American is evident in regional aggregates biases modern-day residents. Using geolocated responses more than 1.3 million Project Implicit visitors, found counties...

The 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in response to the murder of George Floyd highlighted lingering structural inequalities faced by people United States. In present research, we investigated whether these led reduced implicit and explicit racial bias among White U.S. Americans. Combining data from Project Implicit, Armed Conflict Location Event Data (ACLED), Google Trends, American Community survey, observed rapid drops measures after onset protests. However, both types slowly...
The accurate and swift decoding of emotional expressions from faces is fundamental for social communication. Yet, emotion perception prone to error. For example, the ease with which emotions are perceived affected by stereotypes (Bijlstra, Holland, & Wigboldus, 2010). Moreover, introduction face masks mandates in response Covid-19 pandemic additionally impedes introducing ambiguity process. Predictive coding frameworks visual predict that such situations increased sensory input (i.e.,...
Effect sizes provide important information to evaluate the effectiveness and meaningfulness of various interventions, strategies, or initiatives. However, researchers often experience difficulty in deciding what effect are meaningful how interpret them. In this chapter, we present Smallest Size Interest (SESOI) approach size interpretation, which represents smallest a researcher considers be given study. We highlight three approaches specifying SESOIs that do not require much statistical...
The second coming of the Ku Klux Klan popularized and its ideas in early 1920s, terrorizing Black American, their allies, others deemed un-American. present paper investigates extent to which cultural legacy racial hatred has persisted over years. We use data from large online databases, multiverse analyses, spatial models evaluate whether regions with more historical activity show higher levels modern-day bias, White Supremacist activity. find that 1920s modern but, unexpectedly, lower...
The Psychological Science Accelerator's Rapid-Response COVID-19 Project (PSACR) aimed to rapidly select and conduct rigorous, multi-site, multinational research understand the psychological behavioral aspects of crisis. Here we describe process used our projects general methods for implementing them.
The dominant belief is that science progresses by testing theories and moving towards theoretical consensus. While it’s implicitly assumed psychology operates in this manner, critical discussions claim the field suffers from a lack of cumulative theory. To examine paradox, we analysed research published Psychological Science 2009-2019 (N = 2,225). We found mention 359 in-text, most were referred to only once. Only 53.66% all manuscripts included word theory, 15.33% explicitly test...

We expect that consensus meetings, where researchers come together to discuss their theoretical viewpoints, prioritize the factors they agree are important study, standardize measures, and determine a smallest effect size of interest, will prove be more efficient solution lack coordination integration claims in science than integrative experiments.
Biases in favor of culturally prevalent social ingroups are ubiquitous, but random assignment to arbitrary experimentally created groups is also sufficient create ingroup biases (i.e., the minimal group effect; MGE). The extent which bias arises from specific contexts versus more general psychological tendencies remains unclear. This registered report focuses on three questions. First, how MGE? Second, do critical cultural and individual factors moderate its strength? Third, does MGE...
