Self-report scales are widely used in psychology to compare means latent constructs across groups, experimental conditions, or time points.However, for these comparisons be meaningful and unbiased, the must demonstrate measurement invariance (MI) compared points (experimental) groups.MI testing determines whether measured equivalently groups time, which is essential comparisons.We conducted a systematic review of 426 articles with openly available data, (a) examine common practices...
To determine the reproducibility of psychological meta-analyses, we investigated whether could reproduce 500 primary study effect sizes drawn from 33 published meta-analyses based on information given in and recomputations altered overall results meta-analysis. Results showed that almost half (k = 224) all sampled not be reproduced reported meta-analysis, mostly because incomplete or missing how studies were selected computed. Overall, this led to small discrepancies computation mean sizes,...
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 < .05), fifteen (54%) the provided evidence same direction statistically significant as original finding. With a strict...

Abstract Purpose Intensive longitudinal studies, in which participants complete questionnaires multiple times a day over an extended period, are increasingly popular the social sciences general and quality-of-life research particular. The intensive methods allow for studying dynamics of constructs (e.g., how much patient-reported outcomes vary across time). These promise higher ecological validity lower recall bias than traditional that question only once, since high frequency means their...
Purpose: Intensive longitudinal studies, in which participants complete questionnaires multiple times a day over an extended period, are increasingly popular the social sciences general and quality-of-life research particular. The intensive methods allow for studying dynamics of constructs (e.g., how much patient-reported outcomes (PROs) vary across time). These promise higher ecological validity lower recall bias than traditional that question only once, since high frequency means their...
In determining the need to directly replicate, it is crucial first verify original results through independent reanalysis of data. Original that appear erroneous and cannot be reproduced by offer little evidence begin with, thereby diminishing replicate. Sharing data scripts essential ensure reproducibility.
To determine the reproducibility of psychological meta-analyses, we investigated whether could reproduce 500 primary study effect sizes drawn from 33 published meta-analyses based on information given in and recomputations altered overall results meta-analysis.
Given the many benefits of sharing data, an increasing number psychological researchers publicly share data underlying their research via online repositories. While undoubtedly a positive scientific development that enables greater verification and re-use, it is important to protect interests confidentiality participants while doing so. This particularly relevant when studying sensitive topics, for example related health, religion, politics, sexual behaviors. We systematically assessed risk...

To improve the way in which research is currently conducted and communicated, Hartgerink van Zelst (2018) have recently suggested a new communication infrastructure. In their vision, output communicated continuously “as-you-go” as opposed to current system where only after entire cycle has been completed (i.e., “after-the-fact”). This offers host of advantages, including more transparency rapid dissemination output. examine viability system, I aim build functioning implementation proposed...
This is our commentary on the "What IQ? Life Beyond "General Intelligence"" paper by Kovacs and Conway (2019- https://doi.org/10.1177/0963721419827275). We advocate for a latent variable approach in experimental research, illustrate both conceptual statistical benefits of using this context research cognition. Benefits include availability more information about constructs being measured, ability to check specific or general effects covariates, larger power detect mean differences between groups.
