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 samples settings. Each protocol was administered approximately half 125 comprised 15,305 participants from 36 countries territories. Using the conventional criterion statistical significance ( p < .05), we found 15 (54%) provided evidence a statistically significant same direction as original finding....
Many methods for reducing implicit prejudice have been identified, but little is known about their relative effectiveness. We held a research contest to experimentally compare interventions the expression of racial prejudice. Teams submitted 17 that were tested an average 3.70 times each in 4 studies (total N = 17,021), with rules revising between studies. Eight effective at preferences Whites compared Blacks, particularly ones provided experience counterstereotypical exemplars, used...
Statistical aggregation is often used to combine multiple opinions within a group. Such aggregates outperform individuals, including experts, in various prediction and estimation tasks. This result attributed the “wisdom of crowds.” We seek improve quality such by eliminating poorly performing individuals from crowd. propose new measure contribution assess judges' performance relative group use positive contributors build weighting model for aggregating forecasts. In Study 1, we analyze...
In this paper we examine how English and Mandarin speakers think about time, test the patterns of thinking in two groups relate to linguistic cultural experience. Mandarin, vertical spatial metaphors are used more frequently talk time than they English; relies primarily on horizontal terms. We present results from tasks comparing speakers' temporal reasoning. The measure people spatialize three-dimensional space, including sagittal (front/back), transverse (left/right), (up/down) axes....
Across a wide range of tasks, research has shown that people make poor probabilistic predictions future events. Recently, the U.S. Intelligence Community sponsored series forecasting tournaments designed to explore best strategies for generating accurate subjective probability estimates geopolitical In this article, we describe winning strategy: culling off top performers each year and assigning them into elite teams superforecasters. Defying expectations regression toward mean 2 years in...
Previous findings suggest that cultural factors influence ideal affect (i.e., the affective states people ideally want to feel). Three studies tested hypothesis differences in emerge early life and are acquired through exposure storybooks. In Study 1, authors established consistent with previous findings, European American preschoolers preferred excited (vs. calm) more (indexed by activity smile preferences) perceived as happier than Taiwanese Chinese preschoolers. 2, it was observed similar...
Long traditions in the social sciences have emphasized gradual internalization of intergroup attitudes and putatively more basic tendency to prefer groups which one belongs. In four experiments ( N = 883) spanning two cultures status within those cultures, we obtained new evidence that implicit emerge young children a form indistinguishable from adult attitudes. Strikingly, this invariance childhood adulthood holds for members socially dominant majorities, who consistently favor their...
Abstract In two studies, 5‐ and 6‐year‐old children were questioned about the status of protagonist embedded in three different types stories. realistic stories that only included ordinary events, all children, irrespective family background schooling, claimed was a real person. religious ordinarily impossible events brought by divine intervention, claims varied sharply with exposure to religion. Children who went church or enrolled parochial school, both, judged be person, whereas secular...
Children prefer to learn from informants in consensus with one another. However, no research has examined whether this preference exists across cultures, and the race of impacts that preference. In 2 studies, hundred thirty‐six 4‐ 7‐year‐old European American Taiwanese children demonstrated a systematic for consensus. Nevertheless, initial strength persistence depended on racial composition Children's members belonging same as themselves persisted even when only member remained provide...
Forecasting tournaments are level-playing-field competitions that reveal which individuals, teams, or algorithms generate more accurate probability estimates on topics. This article describes a massive geopolitical tournament tested clashing views the feasibility of improving judgmental accuracy and best methods doing so. The tournament’s winner, Good Judgment Project, outperformed simple average crowd by (a) designing new forms cognitive-debiasing training, (b) incentivizing rigorous...
Abstract The heuristics-and-biases research program highlights reasons for expecting people to be poor intuitive forecasters. This article tests the power of a cognitive-debiasing training module (“CHAMPS KNOW”) improve probability judgments in four-year series geopolitical forecasting tournaments sponsored by U.S. intelligence community. Although lasted less than one hour, it consistently improved accuracy (Brier scores) 6 11% over control condition. Cognitive ability and practice also made...
Aggregation-based assays, using micro- and nano-particles have been widely accepted as an efficient cost-effective bio-sensing tool, particularly in microbiology, where particle clustering events are used a metric to infer the presence of specific target analyte quantify its concentration. Here, we present sensitive automated readout method for aggregation-based assays wide-field lens-free on-chip microscope, with ability rapidly analyze microscopic aggregation 3D, deep learning-based...
This article presents initial findings from an evaluation research study of the implementation a Web-based decision support tool, Quality School Portfolio (QSP), developed at National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) University California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The focused users' experiences with training QSP. Data were collected by telephone interviews. results show that QSP provided educators enhanced access to more extensive broadly founded student...
Children prefer learning from, and affiliating with, their racial in‐group but those preferences may vary for biracial children. Monoracial (White, Black, Asian) (Black/White, Asian/White) children ( N = 246, 3–8 years) had identity primed. In a task, participants determined the function of novel object after watching adults demonstrate its uses. social saw pairs chose with whom they most wanted to socially affiliate. Biracial showed flexibility in identification during tasks. However,...
Although children often believe an adult's claims, they may have opportunities to check these claims by gathering relevant empirical evidence themselves. Here, we examine whether seize such opportunities, especially when the claim is counterintuitive. Chinese preschool and elementary schoolchildren were presented with five different-sized Russian dolls asked indicate heaviest doll. Almost all selected biggest Half of then heard a false, counterintuitive (i.e., smallest = heaviest). The...

Abstract Chick lit's emphasis on choice, agency and conspicuous consumption has been linked to the impact of Anglo-American neoliberalism. This paper argues that similarly themed global chick lit, springing up in developing countries ex-communist recent years, works tandem with economic policies capitalism breaks down national/geographical borders promises a desirable world order universalized choice freedom. More than just Western commodities Western-defined locally endorsed values beauty...
Abstract Identifying high‐quality causal explanations is key to scientific understanding. This research ( N = 202; 50% girls; M age : 5.82 years; 64% Asian, 33% White, and 3% multiracial; data collected from 2018 2024) examined how explanation circularity informants' social dominance impact children's learning preferences for explanations. Raised in a culture valuing circular logic, Chinese children still preferred non‐circular informants providing d ≥ 0.50). When with were subordinate those...
