Replication studies in psychological science sometimes fail to reproduce prior findings. If these studies use methods that are unfaithful to the original study or ineffective in eliciting the pheno...

Responding to recent concerns about the reliability of the published literature in psychology and other disciplines, we formed the X-Phi Replicability Project (XRP) to estimate the reproducibility of experimental philosophy (osf.io/dvkpr). Drawing on a representative sample of 40 x-phi studies published between 2003 and 2015, we enlisted 20 research teams across 8 countries to conduct a high-quality replication of each study in order to compare the results to the original published findings. We ...
Crosby, Monin, and Richardson (2008) found that hearing an offensive remark caused subjects (N = 25) to look longer at a potentially offended person, but only if that person could hear the remark. ...

Abstract null null Hindsight bias refers to the tendency to perceive an event outcome as more probable after being informed of that outcome. We conducted very close replications of two classic experiments of hindsight bias and a conceptual replication testing hindsight bias regarding the perceived replicability of hindsight bias. In Study 1 (N = 890), we replicated Experiment 2 in Fischhoff (1975), and found support for hindsight bias in retrospective judgments (dmean = 0.60). In Study 2 (N = 60...
Abstract Ultra-thin fashion dolls may represent a risk factor for thin-ideal internalisation and body dissatisfaction amongst young girls. We asked thirty one 5- to 9-year-old girls to engage in interactive play with commercially available dolls which were either ultra-thin (Barbie and Monster High) or represented a putative realistic childlike shape (Lottie and Dora) and to indicate their perceived own-body size and ideal body size on an interactive computer task both before and after play. The...

Selective publication and reporting in individual papers compromise the scientific record, but are meta-analyses as compromised as their constituent studies? We systematically sampled 63 meta-analyses (each comprising at least 40 studies) in PLoS One, top medical journals, top psychology journals, and Metalab, an online, open-data database of developmental psychology meta-analyses. We empirically estimated publication bias in each, including only the peer-reviewed studies. Across all meta-analys...

The way in which individuals think about their own cognitive processes plays an important role in various domains. When eyewitnesses assess their confidence in identification decisions, they could be influenced by how easily relevant information comes to mind. This ease-of-retrieval effect has a robust influence on people's cognitions in a variety of contexts (e.g., attitudes), but it has not yet been applied to eyewitness decisions. In three studies, we explored whether the ease with which eyew...
The fact that children are far more likely to successfully acquire a variety of new skills and knowledge than are adults is so clearly evidenced in everyday life that it hardly needs scientific confirmation. However, despite four decades of intensive research, the reason why remains controversial. In fact, the terms of the debate about critical periods in language have hardly changed since the 1960s. I argue that this is because the standard in-lab research paradigms that have otherwise served p...

It is a central dogma in science that a result of a study should be replicable. Only 90 of the 190 replications attempts were successful. We attribute a substantial part of the problem to selective inference evident in the paper, which is the practice of selecting some of the results from the many. 100 papers in the Reproducibility Project in Psychology were analyzed. It was evident that the reporting of many results is common (77.7 per paper on average). It was further found that the selection ...
